Hi,  
I’m interested in automating online banking login & checking for new  
transactions - what’s best approach? (e.g. which gems/libraries etc)  
Anyone  
already built something that does this?

For example login each hour and check for any new credit card  
transactions  
and then email them to myself if there are new ones.

Thanks
