headless=False, # Whether the chromedriver should work without opening a # visible window (useful for server-side deployments) mfa_input_callback=None, # A callback accepting a single argument (the prompt) # which returns the user-inputted 2FA code. # if mintapi detects an MFA request, it will trigger the requested method # and prompt on the command line. mint = mintapi.Mint( username, # Email used to log in to Mint password, # Your password used to log in to mint # Optional parameters mfa_method='sms', # Can be 'sms' (default), 'email', or 'soft-token'. Once you run this block, watch how selenium opens up Mint and puts your username and password for you.

I just copied the code from the mintapi documentation. import mintapi import pandas as pd import gspread import df2gspread as d2g from rvice_account import ServiceAccountCredentials from config import username, password pip install mintapi pip install gspread pip install df2gspread pip install oauth2client Make sure you have pip installed the following libraries. 4: Write some code! (How ever long you want it to be)

Note: Copy the service account email that has been created.

If you don’t see this within your Jupyter Lab, you can add it by adding this extension from github. If you are working in Jupyter Lab make sure you have a way to write python files. Step 2: Create a configuration file in python (2 minutes) If you don’t, it doesn’t take too long to set everything up. If you already have a mint account, you can skip this step. For those that are ready for a challenge, the Mint API provides a work around, plus you get the reward of doing it yourself! Step 1: Create mint account and connect all accounts (15 minutes) For those who aren’t up to the challenge, be on your way.

**Note: There is an expensive alternative to the Mint API that Microsoft 365 offers with there subscription called “ Money in Excel”. I will break it down into a few simple steps.

With this basic understanding of how the API works, you are ready to pull your transactional data. Once logged in to the web-based platform, the Mint API scrapes all of the data and stores it in functions which you can call using python. When you pip install the Mint API, selenium is downloaded. This API requires the use of selenium, which is a chrome driver software that allows the Mint API to open in a chrome browser autonomously and login.
