n26

Go API and CLI to get information of your N26 account

Installation

• macOS: Available via Homebrew. Just run brew install guitmz/tools/n26
• Linux: You can manually build this project or download a binary release.

You can also install with go get -u github.com/guitmz/n26/cmd/n26 (make sure you have your Go env setup correctly).

Docker

A Dockerfile is also provided and the prebuilt image is available for pulling: docker pull guitmz/n26 or docker pull guitmz/n26:DESIRED_TAG

You can run it like:

$ docker run -e N26_USERNAME="username" -e N26_PASSWORD="password" -e N26_DEVICE_TOKEN="device_token_uuid" guitmz/n26

or if you want to be asked for your credentials:

$ docker run -ti -e N26_DEVICE_TOKEN="device_token_uuid" guitmz/n26

Authentication

Since 14th of September 2019, N26 requires a login confirmation (2 factor authentication) from the paired phone N26 application to login on devices that are not paired (more details here). This means you will receive a notification on your phone when you start using this library to request data. This tool checks for your login confirmation every 5 seconds. If you fail to approve the login request within 60 seconds an exception is raised.

Device Token

Since 17th of June 2020, N26 requires a device_token to differentiate clients. This requires you to specify the N26_DEVICE_TOKEN environment variable with an UUID of your choice. Feel free to use any proper UUID generator like https://www.uuidgenerator.net to generate the token.
