Installation

uv add monzoh

Quick Start

1. Create an OAuth2 client on the Monzo Developers Portal. Redirect URL must be http://localhost:8080/callback and Confidentiality must be Confidential.
2. Run monzo-auth and complete the login flow.
3. Authorise access on the Monzo app.

You can now use the API:

from monzoh import MonzoClient

client = MonzoClient() # Uses cached access token and handles refresh

account = client.accounts.list()[0]
balance = account.get_balance()
print(f"Balance: £{balance.balance}")

transactions = account.list_transactions(limit=10)
for transaction in transactions:
    if transaction.amount < -50:  # Transactions over £50
        transaction.annotate({"notes": "#large_expense"})

transactions[0].upload_attachment("image.jpg")

pots = account.list_pots()
for pot in pots:
    if pot.name == "Savings":
        pot.deposit(10.00)
        break

Asynchronous API

import asyncio
from monzoh import AsyncMonzoClient

async def main():
    async with AsyncMonzoClient() as client:
        account = (await client.accounts.list())[0]
        
        balance = await account.aget_balance()
        print(f"Balance: £{balance.balance}")
        
        transactions = await account.alist_transactions(limit=10)
        for transaction in transactions:
            if transaction.amount < -50:
                await transaction.aannotate({"notes": "#large_expense"})
        
        pots = await account.alist_pots()
        for pot in pots:
            if pot.name == "Savings":
                await pot.adeposit(10.00)
                break

asyncio.run(main())

Why not call the API directly?

It's much simpler with Monzoh! As an example, here's what uploading an attachment looks like, compared with using the API directly:

With monzoh

from monzoh import MonzoClient

client = MonzoClient()
account = client.accounts.list()[0]
transaction = account.list_transactions(limit=1)[0]
attachment = transaction.upload_attachment("receipt.jpg")

Without monzoh

import requests
from pathlib import Path

accounts_response = requests.get(
    "https://api.monzo.com/accounts",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"}
)
account_id = accounts_response.json()["accounts"][0]["id"]

transactions_response = requests.get(
    "https://api.monzo.com/transactions",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"},
    params={"account_id": account_id, "limit": 1}
)
transaction_id = transactions_response.json()["transactions"][0]["id"]

response = requests.post(
    "https://api.monzo.com/attachment/upload",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"},
    data={
        "file_name": "receipt.jpg",
        "file_type": "image/jpeg",
        "content_length": str(len(Path("receipt.jpg").read_bytes()))
    }
)
upload_info = response.json()

file_data = Path("receipt.jpg").read_bytes()
requests.put(
    upload_info["upload_url"], 
    data=file_data,
    headers={
        "Content-Type": "image/jpeg",
        "Content-Length": str(len(file_data))
    }
)

requests.post(
    "https://api.monzo.com/attachment/register",
    headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {access_token}"},
    data={
        "external_id": transaction_id,
        "file_url": upload_info["file_url"],
        "file_type": "image/jpeg"
    }
)
