mmm, I'm not sure what you mean by "leverage a webserver on the client 
side". The web server is only there to obtain the access token, and I 
think you only do that once (per bank).

Once you have your access tokens, you only need to make calls to the 
API, so a tiny python app will do that easily, and converting to an OFX 
output is quite easy (there's python support for creating OFX files 
etc). I intend on writing that today or tomorrow and see whether the 
full workflow works as expected.
