ABN Amro Transactions

Docker image to download bank account transactions from ABN Amro internet banking.

Rationale

As of now (September 2016), ABN Amro doesn't provide API to expose a list of transactions. This tool is a workaround around the missing API. It uses a headless Chrome browser and Selenium to log into the ABN Amro internet banking and download the CSV with transactions.

The tool uses the following screen to download a list of transactions:

Usage

docker run \
  --rm 
  --env ABNAMRO_ACCOUNT_NUMBER="[account_number]" \
  --env ABNAMRO_CARD_NUMBER="[card_number]" \
  --env ABNAMRO_IDENTIFICATION_CODE="[identification_code]" \
  --volume [download-dir]:/data \
  --privileged -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm
  mkrcah/abnamro-tx:latest \
  --period-from="[period-from]" --period-to="[period-to]"

where

• account_number, card_number and identification_code are login credentials. Note that you have to have the PIN-login enabled.
• period-from and period-to defines time filter for transactions, in format YYYY-MM-DD
• download-dir a directory where the CSV file with transactions will be saved

There is an optional argument available:

• --export-filename [filename] which specified name of the downloaded CSV file, e.g. "abnamro.csv"

Login credentials can be also supplied via a file using the --env-file flag.

Note: --privileged -v /dev/shm:/dev/shm is required in order for Chromium to start

Example:

$ cat env.list
ABNAMRO_ACCOUNT_NUMBER=04123456
ABNAMRO_CARD_NUMBER=111
ABNAMRO_IDENTIFICATION_CODE=123123

$ docker run --env-file=env.list \
   --volume $(pwd)/export-data:/data \ 
   --privileged mkrcah/abnamro-tx \ 
   --period-from "2016-01-01" --period-to "2016-08-31" \
   --export-filename "abnamro.csv"
Starting chrome...
Loading login page
...
Done!


$ ls ./export-data
abnamro.csv

Alternatives

• Python library, without the need of a headless browser: https://github.com/djc/abna

Troubleshooting

Try to open internet banking manually and fill in the provided data. If not, try installing selenium and running the script locally. If that doesn't help, or you find yourself lost, please open an issue.
