Topic: ofxtools might help you set up OFX connections

Hey guys,

I've written a tool that might help you if you're struggling to set up OFX connections.

ofxget --scan

You can read about it here :

https://ofxtools.readthedocs.io/en/late … igurations

You can also use it to discover authentication requirements like CLIENTUID and "Change PIN on first login", by using

ofxget --profile

.

Thanks to Jesse for his work in keeping this database alive.

This looks pretty useful. Are you planning on doing some maintenance now and then? At the moment your script crashes when I make a pretty standard request: ofxget acctinfo jpmorgan -u $username --write

Dealing with errors parsing OFX data generated by banks & brokers is an unfortunate fact of life.  It's impossible to test all cases in advance; I just have to deal with them as they come up.

If you find a bug, please submit an issue with the usual info - your OS, Python version, ofxtools version, and the error traceback (scrubbed of any personal information like $username, account numbers, etc.).

I definitely want to follow up on it, but people here are probably far less interested in the details.
