Bank Information Generator

getfidata.sh.gz:

This script requires xmllint (from libxml2) and curl. If available, W3C tidy is used to create human-readable XML output.

Execute "getfidata.sh" to generate bank information. BE WARNED: part of the process involves retrieving several thousand XML files from the Microsoft web site. After the first run, cached XML files will not be re-downloaded unless the --download option is specified.

fidata.utf-16.tgz:

Contents:

• fidata.utf-16/bank.xml: Bank index
• fidata.utf-16/creditcard.xml: Credit card provider index
• fidata.utf-16/brokerage.xml: Brokerage index
• fidata.utf-16/fi/*.xml: Details for each institution referenced by above indexes

The resulting output of a test run of the above script on my development machine. These files are in the original UTF-16 format provided by Microsoft. You can also download a UTF-8 version.

Check these files to find the URL to a bank's OFX server.
