mintapi 1.29

a screen-scraping API for Mint.com

a screen-scraping API for Mint.com.

Installation

Ensure you have Python 2 or 3 and pip (easy_install pip) and then:

pip install mintapi

If you do not want to manually find and provide your Mint session cookies, as described below, then please also install selenium and chromedriver:

pip install selenium
brew install chromedriver # or sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver on Ubuntu/Debian

Usage

from Python

From python, instantiate the Mint class (from the mintapi package) and you can make calls to retrieve account/budget information. We recommend using the keyring library for persisting credentials.

import mintapi
mint = mintapi.Mint(email, password)

# Get basic account information
mint.get_accounts()

# Get extended account detail at the expense of speed - requires an
# additional API call for each account
mint.get_accounts(True)

# Get budget information
mint.get_budgets()

# Get transactions
mint.get_transactions() # as pandas dataframe
mint.get_transactions_csv(include_investment=False) # as raw csv data
mint.get_transactions_json(include_investment=False, skip_duplicates=False)

# Get net worth
mint.get_net_worth()

# Initiate an account refresh
mint.initiate_account_refresh()

---
