a screen-scraping API for Mint.com.
Ensure you have Python 2 or 3 and pip (easy_install pip) and then:
pip install mintapiIf you do not want to manually find and provide your Mint session cookies, as described below, then please also install selenium and chromedriver:
pip install selenium
brew install chromedriver # or sudo apt-get install chromium-chromedriver on Ubuntu/DebianFrom python, instantiate the Mint class (from the mintapi package) and you can
make calls to retrieve account/budget information. We recommend using the
keyring library for persisting credentials.
import mintapi
# ius_session and thx_guid are optional, and will be automatically extracted if possible (see above for installing selenium/chromedriver)
mint = mintapi.Mint(email, password, ius_session, thx_guid)
# Get basic account information
mint.get_accounts()
# Get extended account detail at the expense of speed - requires an
# additional API call for each account
mint.get_accounts(True)
# Get budget information
mint.get_budgets()
# Get transactions
mint.get_transactions() # as pandas dataframe
mint.get_transactions_csv(self, include_investment=False) # as raw csv data
mint.get_transactions_json(self, include_investment=False, skip_duplicates=False):
# Get net worth
mint.get_net_worth()
# Initiate an account refresh
mint.initiate_account_refresh()You will notice the login step requires an ius_session and thx_guid. These are session cookies that must persists. If you choose not to install selenium and chromedriver, you must obtain these values by searching your browser's cookies. In Chrome, for example, visit chrome://settings/cookies and type intuit. Alternatively, you can login to Mint manually with your browser in inspect mode and poke around in the network tab. Providing these two cookies eliminates the need to 2-step authenticate. Mint requires this with all new browsers attempting to connect.
