I have had modest success with the python ofxclient program in that I can
download transactions from a specified account.
I have no luck yet with getting the account list via gnucash/aqsetup.

The Bank of the West ofx info is something like this:

url: https://ofx.bankofthewest.com/process.ofx
fid: 15130
app_id: QWIN
app_version: 2700
ofx version: 103

but when I try to get the account list in the aqbanking setup, I get this
back:

16:23:52 Sending request...
16:23:52 Using GnuTLS default ciphers.
16:23:52 TLS: SSL-Ciphers negotiated: TLS1.3:ECDHE-RSA-AES-256-GCM:AEAD

Error other than those specified by the remaining error codes. (Note:
Servers should provide a more specific error whenever possible. Error code
2000 should be reserved for cases in which a more specific code is not
available.)
16:23:52 Status for account info request: General error (Code 2000,
severity "ERROR")
Error other than those specified by the remaining error codes. (Note:

available.)
16:23:52 Operation finished, you can now close this window.

More updates when I am (hopefully) successful.
