Usage

Precautions

• Don't access to BAC website or mobile app while executing some script usign this library.
• Login with the library will fail if you are logged in from the website or mobile app.

Login

The recommended method for login is using with statement of Python. We initialize the class in the with and will make automatically login with the provided credentials and will logout after finishing all the work and if some exception happens we ensure that logout method is called.

from bac_bank_gt import BACBank, UserPasswordBankLogin

credentials = UserPasswordBankLogin(username="ENTER YOUR USERNAME", password="ENTER YOUR PASSWORD")
with BACBank(credentials) as connection:
    # Do your work here

# We are logout now

Get accounts

from bac_bank_gt import BACBank, UserPasswordBankLogin

credentials = UserPasswordBankLogin(username="ENTER YOUR USERNAME", password="ENTER YOUR PASSWORD")
with BACBank(credentials) as connection:
    accounts = connection.fetch_accounts() # Fetch all accounts
        for a in accounts:
            print(a)

Get movements

We can retrieve the movements of an account using fetch_movements method in BACBankAccount

import datetime
from bac_bank_gt import BACBank, UserPasswordBankLogin
credentials = UserPasswordBankLogin(username="ENTER YOUR USERNAME", password="ENTER YOUR PASSWORD")

with BACBank(credentials) as connection:
    accounts = connection.fetch_accounts()
    for a in accounts:
        mov = a.fetch_movements(
            datetime.date.today() - datetime.timedelta(days=60),
            datetime.date.today() + datetime.timedelta(days=1),
        )
        for m in mov:
            print(m)

Logout

It's important to logout after you finish your operations otherwise you can lock yourself and that won't allow you to login from the website, that's due security protections of BAC.

Even though with statement is the recommended way to make sure logout method is called. You can also execute it manually.

    bank = BACBank(credentials)
    try:
        bank.login()
        # Do your work
    except:
        pass
    finally:
        bank.logout()

FAQ

  • We need your credentials to authenticate in the bank, those credentials are not stored in any place. This is open source library so you can check the code.
