I saw the following post on reddit related to downloading data from banks.
Maybe it will be helpful to you:
I'm new to the ledger-cli ecosystem, and spent many hours recently trying
to get this all sorted out. I now have a more-or-less fully automated setup
that works as such:
Component 1 is a small bash script that invokes plaid2qif to download a
CSV of all transactions for each all of my bank accounts, investment
accounts, and credit card accounts. https://github.com/ebridges/plaid2qif
Plaid is a back-end system that implements a common API for most financial
institutions, so that you don't have to write and maintain separate chase
vs. citibank vs. bofa scrapers. You can link up to 100 accounts with the
development account for free.
Once I have a CSV with each account's transactions, I have another
short script that invokes into-ledger on each file and imports all of the
data
