Show HN: Paisa – Open-Source Personal Finance Manager
Fighting with Mint and categorizing Amazon purchases was what initially pushed me down the path into plain text accounting (PTA).
I ended up long down the rabbit hole with auto-downloading Amazon orders (originally with https://github.com/jbms/finance-dl, but then my own custom scraping) and importing and matching them up with credit card transactions using beancount-import (https://github.com/jbms/beancount-import).
This ultimately resulted in me spending a lot less on Amazon - to the point that now doing it manually wouldn't be too bad...

Tracking prices of products
These HTML are stored in a common folder, then parsed by beancount-import using the built-in importer for Amazon Invoice HTML files from that project. The author of that project wrote/uses finance-dl to get his Amazon invoices. At one point, his download code wasn't working for me, so I wrote my own. Independently, for reasons I no longer remember.

automatically download accounts
You can sign up for a Plaid dev account (free, but your data is likely mined) and use a tool like plaid-sync but there's a growing list of banks which no longer support the dev accounts.

What is the most future proof way to automate data downloading from financial institutions ?
It's not too bad, I guess, but it's definitely not as nice as the alternative. Before this started happening, I could just run the plaid-sync process download in the background.
What are some alternatives?
