Could not parse account data about mintapi

[mrooney]

Thanks, I'm seeing this too. I guess they changed something; I'll work on a fix today.

I spent some time on this and noticed it intermittently works, but I can't figure out what causes it to go wrong. For my record, I should follow up with others experiencing the same issues at http://b3devs.blogspot.com/2014/03/recent-mint-change-has-broken-mojito.html and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15755326/scraping-mint-gives-session-has-expired.

I see you've got your own at https://github.com/csells/MintScraper :) If you find a solution, please do let me know! I'm currently stumped.

[csells]

Yeah. I’m stumped, too. : (

If I get some energy, another approach might be to use something like PhantomJS that's actually logging in and doing all the AJAX calls, so we don't have to worry about implementation details.

I was able to get this working reliably with the following code: https://github.com/dan-v/mint-bitcoin-sync/blob/master/lib/mint.py. Basically had to first go to main page and then post to login and get session token.

[mrooney]

Thanks Dan! Any interest in joining forces on the mint library? I can integrate your improvements (such as set_account_value) and release mintapi on pip, and then you can add it to your project's pip install and we can just maintain one copy. I probably should have done that to begin with.

[dan-v]

I'd be happy to join forces and use this library instead. Let me know if I can help with anything.

[mrooney]

Okay @dan-v , I released mintapi to pypi so that you can just add it as a pip dependency to your project, and then import it. It just requires a minor import tweak, let me know how it looks and if this makes sense: https://github.com/mrooney/mintapi.
