Great - I've been hoping for this for awhile. Thanks Steve! I also got stuck on the hand-crafted requests - I'll check your script outputs and see where I went wrong. By the time I gave up I'd assumed that the servers were client-certificate-based extranets rather than publicly accessible. Glad I was wrong.

Benoit et. al., please let me know if there's any way I can help out. Unfortunately, it would have to be a way that doesn't involve C coding. But I could help with feature requirements for a download druid (from my user experiences with Money and Quicken), or compile a list of banks and their capabilities in XML format for the druid to use, or just do beta testing when the time comes...

The net result of all of this is a little python script that can
download the OFX for the last month's transactions or a list of
accounts. It doesn't try to parse the responses, it only writes them to
a file.  I currently use it with ameritrade, ATT Universal Card, and
Discover card.

For Discover, this is the only way I can find to get my transactions in
ofx format, because there is no download option on the web site. I use
this script fairly regularly in conjunction with gnucash.

The script is a quick hack, and I'm still learning python (the reason I
used python instead of perl), but hopefully it's a useful example to
someone. Aside from the structure on the top, you probably want to read
it backwards, as it builds from little functions to big ones. Also,
change the "if 1" to "if 0" to print the queries instead of sending
them.


Well, your quick hack should provide pseudocode so I can quickly do my own quick hack in LibOfx, so there is at least an alpha implementation. Tying it into GnuCash should be quite trivial afterwards.
