Noob question: How does one find out the url for certain FI instead of looking into fi.cfg?

[lnguyen639]

I only stumbled upon this repo last night and I was super excited. Thanks for writing it.

I was able to get statement from Amex, but when I tried institutes other than the ones with URL listed in the fi.cfg, I get the errors below. I suppose those FIs are not supported. How does one find out the OFX url for the FIs? The main OFXClient() class needs values like URL, FID, ORG, VERSION, but not sure how I can get them other than the fi.cfg file.

You’ll either need to get these from your bank (good luck!) or else install Quicken & eavesdrop on network traffic with e.g. mitmproxy.

Ah. Thanks!
