Repo for getting transactions in Max to a CSV file

Max is an israeli credit card company ("Leumi Card" in the past).
Their website max.co.il is not much clear to me and I don't like going into it much. I only wanted to log inside and get my latest transactions from the website. I had an idea to create a tool that will do it for me! At first I thought about using an API to get transactions, seems legit and logical. However Max doesn't support this kind of methods of open-banking. So I had to adapt, improvise and act!

I present to you another method which is scraping the data using Selenium! Because what doesn't work with mind, works with bigger mind.

• User (and probably credit card) in Max systems.
• Python

to start using this tool all you have to do is follow this steps:

1. Clone this repository
2. Open the command line in the folder
3. Run the following command with the flags below

python main.py

The whole program works through the command line and it needs the right flags.

-e/--email the email address of the user
-p/--password the password of the user
-r/--request tells the request from the program

Email and password must be entered in order to log into the system (your credentials are not sent anywhere).

There are 4 requests you can type

• ytd - year to date, get all transactions from start of the year till today
• range - get all transaction within the range
• month - get all transaction within the month and year specified
• this_month - get all transaction within this month

For example a user wants the 'ytd' request he must enter:

python main -r ytd -e [email protected] -p user_password

the month request requires month (-m) and year (-y) flags to be specified for example if a user wants his transactions from January 2024 he must enter:

python main -r month -e [email protected] -p user_password -m 1 -y 2024

NOTE: Under month view Max shows transactions from today four years ago until today next year.

The range request asks a start date (-sd) and an end date (-ed). For example if a user wants his transactions from January 7th 2023 until December 17th 2023 he must enter:

python main -r month -e [email protected] -p user_password -sd 2023-01-07 -ed 2023-12-17

NOTE: dates must be in the form of: YYYY-MM-DD.
NOTE2: under range view Max shows transactions from today four years ago until today.

in order to run the tests you must enter the details in the secret_file.py and then run the command from the main directory:

pytest tests

Otherwise the tests related to the user being logged in won't run properly.
