ubank 0.1.1

Access ubank programatically.

ubank

Access ubank programatically.

This does not provide true API-like interface, but you can retrieve information using browser automation.

Requirements

Python 3.8+ and Playwright.

Installation

Install from PyPI:

$ pip install ubank

Install version of Firefox required by Playwright:

$ playwright install --with-deps firefox

Getting started

Create an instance of UbankClient and log in using a security code:

>>> from ubank import UbankClient
>>> ubank_client = UbankClient()
>>> ubank_client.log_in_with_security_code('[e-mail]', 'SecretPassw0rd')
Enter security code: 123456

Then you can get account information:

>>> ubank_client.get_accounts()
{'linkedBanks': [{'bankId': 1, 'shortBankName': 'ubank', 'accounts': [{'label': 'Spend account', 'nickname': 'Spend account', 'type': 'TRANSACTION', 'balance': {'currency': 'AUD', 'current': 1000, 'available': 1000}, 'status': 'Active'}, {'label': 'Save account', 'nickname': 'Save account', 'type': 'SAVINGS', 'balance': {'currency': 'AUD', 'current': 10000, 'available': 10000}, 'status': 'Active'}]}]}

After logging in with a security code, you can retrieve a trusted cookie:

>>> ubank_client.get_trusted_cookie()
{'name': '026d9560-3c86-4680-b926-44bdd28eba94', 'value': 'YmxhaCBibGFoIGJsYWggYmxhaCBibGFoIGJsYWggYmxhaCBibGFo', 'domain': 'www.ubank.com.au', 'path': '/', 'expires': 1706758407, 'httpOnly': True, 'secure': True, 'sameSite': 'Strict'}

Use the cookie to log in without a security code:

>>> ubank_client.log_in_with_trusted_cookie(
...     '[e-mail]',
...     'SecretPassw0rd',
...     {'name': '026d9560-3c86-4680-b926-44bdd28eba94', 'value': 'YmxhaCBibGFoIGJsYWggYmxhaCBibGFoIGJsYWggYmxhaCBibGFo', 'domain': 'www.ubank.com.au', 'path': '/', 'expires': 1706758407, 'httpOnly': True, 'secure': True, 'sameSite': 'Strict'}
... )

Stop Playwright gracefully when you're done:

>>> ubank_client.stop()

You can also retrieve a trusted cookie by running the ubank module from the command line. Use an environment variable to avoid storing your banking password in shell history:

$ read -s PASSWORD
SecretPassw0rd

Running ubank as a module will prompt for a security code and then display the trusted cookie object:

$ python -m ubank [e-mail] "$PASSWORD"
Enter security code: 123456
{'name': '026d9560-3c86-4680-b926-44bdd28eba94', 'value': 'YmxhaCBibGFoIGJsYWggYmxhaCBibGFoIGJsYWggYmxhaCBibGFo', 'domain': 'www.ubank.com.au', 'path': '/', 'expires': 1706758407, 'httpOnly': True, 'secure': True, 'sameSite': 'Strict'}

Secure storage of your username, password and trusted cookie is your responsibility.
