Re: American Express Card

I belive Amex changed the download URL to https://online.americanexpress.com/myca … fxdownload

Re: American Express Card

Wow, that worked, but I have to ask, how do you figure these things out? Is there something at the Amex site?

Re: American Express Card

Call them

Re: American Express Card

Re: American Express Card

Man they keep blocking my IP address for my budgeting application. Anyone else experience this issue?

Re: American Express Card

inzolo:  you need to provide a bit more information.  What makes you think they are blocking the IP address, as opposed to failing for some other reason?  I won't say they are not blocking, but it doesn't strike me as likely.

Re: American Express Card

Getting a “403 forbidden” error on an app I wrote  that’s been working for years with no changes.

Re: American Express Card

I'm also getting a 403: Forbidden error when using ofxclient.

Re: American Express Card

Did some investigation and found that adding the header "Accept: */*" made the error go away.

Re: American Express Card

It broke, I had it working again for a while, now I'm getting "Error: HTTP/1.1 503 Service Unavailable"

I wonder if they have blocked my IP. I've tried other IPs though and get the same result.

Re: American Express Card

I'm getting the same issue.  403 Forbidden with 'Accept': 'application/ofx' and 503 with 'Accept': '*/*'

Last time it worked for me was around 8:45 am (Pacific) on 5/12.

It seems like this is an intermittent issue

Update: Started randomly working a few hours later while using application/ofx header.  Seems like this is just a common AMEX server issue.

Re: American Express Card

I'm also getting 403 Forbidden. Looks like it hasn't been working for me since 5/24. This is what I get from

ofxclient -v

when I try to add an account:

DEBUG:root:---- response ----
DEBUG:root:{'fp': None, 'status': 403, 'will_close': True, 'chunk_left': 'UNKNOWN', 'length': 0, 'strict': 0, 'reason': 'Forbidden', 'version': 11, 'debuglevel': 0, 'msg': <httplib.HTTPMessage instance at 0x10b7303f8>, 'chunked': 0, '_method': u'POST'}

Re: American Express Card

I was able to get this working again by changing the Accept headers to

text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

as suggested here.

Re: American Express Card

I got things working again last week by updating headers as suggested above. This week it is broken again. Getting error code 2003. Weird error message though. The error message is "Login Successful". Anyone else having a similar issue?

Re: American Express Card

I'm getting the same error 2003 in the last week.

Re: American Express Card

I found the reason - AMEX changed OFX account numbers, it is now 'somesymbols|last5digits' format. Re-retrieve the list of accounts.
