Hi there, you do the staff manual via browser?

Did you consider using the finTS protocol? Or some open banking provider like saltedge / finapi / truelayer?

Hi,

The project began in 2018 as a web-scraping library designed to parse the HTML-code of the DKB website. MechanicalSoup was utilized for parsing and translating the data into a JSON-like structure.

In 2020, 2FA support was added following the mandatory implementation of PSD2. I attempted to gain access to the DKB API available at that time, but DKB declined, stating that I was not a Fintech. Frustrated, I gave up and extended my library to support 2FA.

In 2023, DKB introduced a new React-based web frontend with a REST API backend. I analyzed the API structure by tracing communication flows and modified the library to access the REST endpoints.

Currently, I have no interest in using either the finTS protocol or a REST API provider "doing things with my data". DKB provides the necessary data free of charge. All you need is an abstraction layer between user and the DKB REST-API and that’s the main purpose of this library.

Hope this helps, /G
