Yep, I was excited that I might be able to access my banking data using APIs in NZ, then I found this:

https://www.apicentre.paymentsnz.co.nz/join/api-community-co...

So it's "free for 12 months", but the idea is that I build or create an "innovation".

Not interested, I just want APIs for my data, I'm not interested in building a SaaS, I don't want that kind of responsibility for other people's data.

Back to using my personally developed scraper, driven by puppeteer.

Side-benefits, I can and have adapted my scraper to also pull my data from other institutions, like investments and retirement accounts, and dump it into a database as JSON and normalized form.



Hit me up, email in profile.

Working on similar stuff, effectively what you have without the requirement to maintain scrapers.
