Tasks

• Use selenium for scraping
  • Try seleniumbase for scraping
• scrape hdfc netbanking site to download daily transaction sheet.
• parse transaction sheet
• make DB schema
• store transactions in db
  • upload transactions to cloud db (maybe ?), so that app can read off it and list it to user
• user can add/remove tags, add description (text) to the transactions
• transactions that don't have tags added to them should be up on the list
• screen to show split of expenses on each tag

how to run the scrape process daily ?

• cron job
• cloud function (can we schedule this ?)
• spin up container every night, process, and kill container

Safely using credentials

• On local machine - use environment variables or files (variables are better, because we can use them for runtime only)
  • Eg. VAR1=value1 VAR2=value2 command VAR1 and VAR2 are used only for running the command
• On cloud - can use AWS Secrets Manager to securely retreive netbanking credentials.
