Monarch Money API for Python

Monarch Money

Python library for accessing Monarch Money data.

Installation

From Source Code

Clone this repository from Git

git clone https://github.com/hammem/monarchmoney.git

Via pip

pip install monarchmoney

Instantiate & Login

There are two ways to use this library: interactive and non-interactive.

Interactive

If you're using this library in something like iPython or Jupyter, you can run an interactive-login which supports multi-factor authentication:

from monarchmoney import MonarchMoney

mm = MonarchMoney()
await mm.interactive_login()

This will prompt you for the email, password and, if needed, the multi-factor token.

Non-interactive

For a non-interactive session, you'll need to create an instance and login:

from monarchmoney import MonarchMoney

mm = MonarchMoney()
await mm.login(email, password)

This may throw a RequireMFAException. If it does, you'll need to get a multi-factor token and call the following method:

from monarchmoney import MonarchMoney, RequireMFAException

mm = MonarchMoney()
try:
        await mm.login(email, password)
except RequireMFAException:
        await mm.multi_factor_authenticate(email, password, multi_factor_code)

Alternatively, you can provide the MFA Secret Key. The MFA Secret Key is found when setting up the MFA in Monarch Money by going to Settings -> Security -> Enable MFA -> and copy the "Two-factor text code". Then provide it in the login() method:

from monarchmoney import MonarchMoney, RequireMFAException

mm = MonarchMoney()
await mm.login(
        email=email,
        password=password,
        save_session=False,
        use_saved_session=False,
        mfa_secret_key=mfa_secret_key,
    )

FAQ

How do I use this API if I login to Monarch via Google?

If you currently use Google or 'Continue with Google' to access your Monarch account, you'll need to set a password to leverage this API. You can set a password on your Monarch account by going to your security settings.

Don't forget to use a password unique to your Monarch account and to enable multi-factor authentication!
