The Bill Monster eats your bills and tells you what your current due balances are.
It uses Selenium to automate the process of logging into each provider and harvesting the balances.
brew install selenium-server-standalone(or via your favorite OS package manager)pip install clint keyring selenium
The script uses keyring, which uses a local password storage backend to retrieve passwords. On OS X, the Keychain is used by default.
See the provided .config sample file in the repo. Copy that file to ~/.billmonster and create
configuration sections for each provider you would like to use. Multiple accounts per provider
is also supported (see the sample).
Some providers require additional options. For example, Bank of America requires that you provide the state that the account is in. In the config file, you would add this to the entry like so:
[bankofamerica]
state = NY
These provider-specific settings are documented in their respective sections below.
Use your keyring's password backend to store your passwords.
As an example, if I wanted to use the Wells Fargo provider, I would create an entry like this:
Name: wellsfargo.com
Account: nick
Where: wellsfargo.com
Password: o-hi-thar
See below for using each individual provider script separately.
Otherwise, you can create a config (see above) and run the script:
python billmonster.py
Once started, you'll see a line for each provider / account that it begins to process, like this:
AES (nick)
If everything goes smoothly, the Bill Monster will then print the balance to stdout:
AES (nick): $120.45
It'll then move on to the next account, and so on.
python aessuccess.py nick
The script checks the password backend for a password stored with the name
aessuccess.org and a username of nick and begins the login process if it finds one.
AES requires security questions if you're logging in on a computer that isn't recognized. The Bill Monster has built-in support for these. When you're running the script for the first time, you'll see the security questions come on-screen, and you'll need to add those to your keychain to avoid holding up the script in subsequent runs. A sample keychain entry for an AES security question:
Name: aessuccess.org
Kind: application password
Account: nick *What is your mother's middle name?
Where: aessuccess.org
Password: Emmy Lou
...where nick is your username, and Emmy Lou is your mother's middle name.
python att.py 5555551234
Note: Your AT&T account username is probably your phone number.
python bankofamerica.py nick
Bank of America requires that you also provide the state that the account is in. You'll need to add this to your config file (see above) like so:
[bankofamerica]
state = NY
You also need to specify which account to retrieve a due balance from:
[bankofamerica]
state = NY
account = Signature Visa
python capitalone.py nick
python wellsfargo.py nick
Currently Wells Fargo support is only for single loan accounts.
