Overview

This skill automates the George online banking web interface (Erste Bank / Sparkasse Austria) using Playwright. It performs login and logout, lists accounts, and fetches transactions and portfolio data in machine-readable JSON. The tool is designed for scripted workflows and ephemeral exports to support automated processing.

How this skill works

The skill runs a Python Playwright script that controls a headless browser to perform authenticated actions on the George web app. It stores a minimal Playwright session state on disk for reuse during a session and exports account, transaction, and portfolio data as JSON. Commands include login, logout, accounts, and transactions with date ranges and account selection.

When to use it

• Automate periodic retrieval of balances and transactions for bookkeeping or reconciliation
• Fetch all account types (checking, savings, depots) for aggregation into financial tools
• Run scheduled exports for reporting or backup pipelines
• Integrate with downstream systems that require JSON-formatted banking data
• Perform ad-hoc queries for a given account and date range

Best practices

• Always call logout after your operations to remove stored browser session and minimize persistent auth state
• Limit the session state directory permissions (dirs 700, files 600) and run on a controlled host
• Use date ranges for transactions to reduce load and improve reliability
• Use the ephemeral export path or override with a secure temporary directory (OPENCLAW_TMP)
• Run this on a secure server or local machine; do not expose credentials or session files

Example use cases

• Nightly cron job: login → accounts → transactions (last 24h) → logout, saving JSON to a secure backup location
• Accounting integration: fetch all account balances and transactions for month-end reconciliation
• Portfolio snapshot: retrieve depot holdings as part of an investment dashboard ingestion
• Ad-hoc audit: fetch transactions for a specific account and date range for compliance review
• Ephemeral export for scripts: produce JSON to /tmp/openclaw/george or a custom temporary directory
