[Feature Request] - Integration with Plaid API #356

Closed mgriffin13 closed 4 months ago

mgriffin13 commented 4 months ago

Plaid is a service that will allow applications to integrate with some financial institutions without sharing credentials. Integrating with this service would allow Wallos to retrieve real-time transaction data from linked credit cards and thus allow Wallos to auto-discover recurring charging and thus potential subscriptions.

This integration doesn't necessarily need to rely on a centralized service--I think that individuals could sign up for their own developer account and thus could use their own API keys for the integration. Wallos just needs the back-end logic to deal with the influx of data.

Hi, thank you for the suggestion. This is not on the plans for now. I might revisit this idea later.
