[GNC] Eliminate Manual Download of Transaction

[Geoff]

Hi Jesse

GnuCash cannot do this.  You need to investigate automation tools.

For Windows, check out:
AutoHotKey https://www.autohotkey.com/
Power Automate Desktop https://powerautomate.microsoft.com/en-us/desktop/

For web browser automation:
Selenium https://www.selenium.dev/

I can't recommend anything for Linux, but Google is your friend:
https://alternativeto.net/software/autohotkey/?platform=linux

You will need to put in a bit of time and effort to make these work - if 
you are only downloading your bank files once a month the return on 
investment may not be there.

Remember to secure your solution - don't leave your bank credentials 
lying around unencrypted in various scripts or text files.

Good luck.

Geoff
