Hey Folks,
I would like to create my own Banking-Software with KNIME. Basically there must be a possibility to get all transactions from different accounts. In Germany HBCI / FinTS is the preferred and m.E. the only API to get Access to Banking-Data. Does anyone have experience with a project like this? Well I’m very familar with KNIME since I worked with KNIME since many years. But HBCI / FinTS would be a challange.
Best Regards, Ingo
Hello @ingo_knime,
So I did some research on FinTS (formerly HBCI from what I could find) and it is not REST based so you can’t use our REST extension. It does function similar with using messaging instead of requests. From what I could tell you will probably need to use a python script to correctly send messages which is pretty complex versus a REST based api. However I did find a library you could use that can help with some of that:
Library support does seem a little sparse, but this should help out with abstracting some of the complexity away with working on FinTS.
Also, the docs for the library is here:
