Scrape your transaction history from your Schwab bank account.

Schwab Scraper

This is a rudimentary brute-force scraper to grab transaction data from a Schwab.com checking account and write the output in CSV.

There's some (currently unused) code in there to attempt modularity (like writing to JSON, or supporting different CSV formats), but it's half-baked.

Mostly, I put this together since Schwab doesn't have a "Download as CSV" option like other banks do, and this is a good first-step to treating their website as an API to use in my own personal financing application.

Usage

$ npm install
$ phantomjs --ssl-protocol=any scrape.js

This will save your transactions to a file transactions.csv. Have a look at the code to change the "go back to" date, or change the default output format.

You'll need to provide your username and password to login to your Schwab account, but as you can see in the code, it's not stored (except for maybe in your terminal history, since I couldn't figure that part of system.stdin out for phantomjs), and it's not sent anywhere else.

schwab-scraper's Issues

usage

Sorry for what is potentially a newbie usage question... I already have node installed but can't seem to start the scrape process:

Nicholass-Air:schwab-scraper-master njm$ phantomjs --ssl-protocol=any scrape.js`
-bash: phantomjs: command not found

Tried running npm install again within the directory where I downloaded the package contents, but install fails:

Nicholass-Air:schwab-scraper-master njm$ sudo npm install
Password:
npm WARN enoent ENOENT, open '/Users/njm/package.json'
npm WARN njm No description
npm WARN njm No repository field.
npm WARN njm No README data
npm WARN njm No license field.

Any advice to get this running? Your help would be most appreciated!
