Getting Transactions from CreditKarma

Important: this might not actually be useful for you if you are coming from Mint!

• After building this, I learned that you can go to Mint's desktop app and download all transaction history directly from them. This would still be useful if you need to get CK transactions after a Mint history pull, though.

Use Case

• You were a Mint user who had to switch to CreditKarma because Mint sadly was absorbed by CK.
• You have a template that you use to categorize your transactions for tax season, and you don't want to have to manually input transactions.

Setup

Python

Install requirements with pip install -r requirements.txt

CreditKarma

• Go to the transactions page: https://www.creditkarma.com/networth/transactions
• Open Inspect (I'm using Firefox, so these may have different names in different browsers)
• Go to the 'Network' Tab (delete all the requests in there and reload the page to start fresh)
• Filter to 'graphql' to return only the requests that are hitting graphql
• On the transactions page, hold 'Page Down' or just scroll until you get to the bottom of the list (you may need to scroll up and down a few times initially to get it to trigger)
• Once you've gotten all the transactions you need, right click on one of the requests in the list and 'Save All as HAR'

Usage

Run python src/parse_ck_transactions_from_har.py <HAR Filepath> <Year> in a terminal. Replace <HAR Filepath> with the path to the HAR file you saved, and <Year> with the year you want to parse transactions for. Note that I don't think CK only keeps transactions for 2 years and a few months.

Outputs

• creditkarma_transactions_{year}.csv - with new fields that come through CK only
• mint_transactions_{year}.csv - with all your standard Mint fields, so your tax templates don't break
