Re: [GNC] AqBanking help for Citi CC
I just successfully set up GnuCash to download Citi credit card data using AqBanking - for now all you have to do is add a space to the end of your userid (assuming everything else is correct).The issue seems to be with Citi ... When it consistently failed with code 403, I turned on OFX logging (export AQOFX_LOG_COMM=1), snagged the OFX request (from /tmp/ofx.log), formatted it to make it more readable, and created a bash script using curl to make the OFX request. Paradoxically it worked while the equivalent un-beautified GnuCash request failed. After little debugging, the key lines in the GnuCash ofx.log were: == OFX == ... ... myuserid mypassword ... == OFX == The above will work if you add a space either at the end of the "...myuserid" line, or before "" in the next line. At the GnuCash user interface level that involves adding a trailing space to the AqBanking userid for Citi. For reference, below is the OFX template file I use to feed my curl-based script. Eventually GnuCash makes an equivalent request. (Again, eliminate the leading spaces before "" and it, too fails.) == OFX == OFXHEADER:100 DATA:OFXSGML VERSION:103 SECURITY:NONE ENCODING:USASCII CHARSET:1252 COMPRESSION:NONE OLDFILEUID:NONE NEWFILEUID:$OFX_DATETIME $OFX_DATETIME $OFX_USER $OFX_PW ENG $OFX_ORG $OFX_FID QWIN 2400 $OFX_DATETIME 1 $OFX_ACCOUNT $OFX_STARTDATE $OFX_ENDDATE Y == OFX == If GnuCash did prettified SGML it would avoid this problem with Citi's parsing.
