this is for chee to make spending money on their American Express card feel like spending money.
i run it on a loop on my server.
it goes like this:
- get the amount of money in my
amexpot from monzo - log onto the amex website w/ puppeteer
- get current available balance
- take that off the total available credit to get how much has probably been spent
- if there is more spent than in the
amexpot, top up theamexpot from current account - send an item into the monzo feed (which sends a push notification)
basically don't? and if you do, leave me alone.
that being said:
the script run is how you get it started. you'll need to run it in the directory where get-balance.js is, because it expects it to be there and i haven't used dirname $(readlink -f $0). run it in a loop. i run it every minute on a server. you'll need to set some env vars:
| name | description |
|---|---|
| pot_id | the pot id you will be keeping your card-paying-off money in (find it via monzo api) |
| access_token | your monzo access token |
| account_id | your monzo account id |
| amex_user | your amex username |
| amex_pass | your amex password |
| available_credit | the total available credit in your amex account |
- don't rely on this
- don't expect it to work tomorrow
- don't @ me
- pull requests welcome
- actually you can @ me sorry for being defensive
