mintapi
a screen-scraping API for Mint.com.
Requirements
Ensure you have Python 2 or 3 and pip (easy_install pip) and then:
pip install mintapi
Usage
from Python
From python, instantiate the Mint class (from the mintapi package) and you can
make calls to retrieve account/budget information. We recommend using the
keyring library for persisting credentials.
import mintapi
mint = mintapi.Mint(email, password)
# Get basic account information
mint.get_accounts()
# Get extended account detail at the expense of speed - requires an
# additional API call for each account
mint.get_accounts(True)
# Get budget information
mint.get_budgets()
# Get transactions
mint.get_transactions()
# Initiate an account refresh
mint.initiate_account_refresh()
There are, additionally, deprecated wrappers for backward compatibility with old versions of the API.
import mintapi
mintapi.get_accounts(email, password)
mintapi.get_accounts(email, password, True)
mintapi.get_budgets(email, password)
mintapi.initiate_account_refresh(email, password)
from anywhere
Run it as a sub-process from your favorite language; pip install mintapi creates a binary in your $PATH. From the command-line, the output is JSON:
usage: mintapi [-h] [--accounts] [--budgets] [--extended-accounts]
[--transactions] [--filename FILENAME] [--keyring]
