Comdirect: credit card account is not a SEPA account

[runiq]

Using get_sepa_accounts() with a Comdirect FinTS object does not yield the credit card accounts:

>>> pprint(f.get_sepa_accounts())
[SEPAAccount(iban='XXX', bic='XXX', accountnumber='XXX', subaccount='Girokonto', blz='XXX'),
 SEPAAccount(iban='XXX', bic='XXX', accountnumber='XXX', subaccount='Tagesgeld PLUS', blz='XXX')]

Even though the very same account is listed when I use get_information() on the FinTS object:

>>> pprint(f.get_information())
{'accounts': [{'account_number': 'XXX',

The third account is the credit card account. Notably, it does not have an IBAN and the account number is also markedly different from the other accounts (it is much longer and seemingly doesn't follow the same numbering scheme the other accounts do).

How can I use f.get_credit_card_transactions() if I don't have the account object? Can I try creating the account object manually somehow?

[runiq]

I can get transactions if I just use one of the other accounts in the f.get_sepa_accounts() list and provide the credit card number. Closing!

[henryk]

@runiq Can you reconfirm that you can get valid credit card transactions with get_credit_card_transactions()? Because I don't have a bank/card combo that supports that, so I just guessed when writing the function.

[runiq]

Yeah, the return value looks a little iffy:

[fints.segments.statement.DIKKU2(
  header=fints.formals.SegmentHeader('DIKKU', 5, 2, 3),
  _additional_data=[
    'XXX',

  ]
)]

Some notes and observations:

• XXX is my CC number.
• The item at index 2 in _additional_fields seems to be my credit card balance at the time indicated (i.e. 123,45 EUR on 2019-06-09 18:41:52).
• the actual transaction list seems to be starting at index 5, from newest to oldest.
• for each transaction, the value seems to be at index 5.
• the last number seems to contain a date in it, but I have no idea what it's supposed to represent.
• I have no idea what the other fields mean, unfortunately.

I'd be glad to help you improve this function. Can you give me some pointers as to what you'd expect the output to look like?

[henryk]

I now remembered that I do have a test account and credit card with comdirect, just hadn't realized they implement DKKKU2. I'm tracking my work at https://github.com/henryk/python-fints/tree/implement-dikku2

[henryk]

(Note: The correct way to get the list of accounts and available operations is get_information(), we should document that. get_sepa_accounts() was a protocol level kludge for the SEPA change-over, and is now mostly mis-used to get an account inventory, but, as seen here, may have exceptions. The account list in get_information() should always be accurate and definitive.)

[Ulli2k]

I have the same issue.
I am able to get the transactions of my bank accounts but I do not get it runnnig for my credit card account.
I get the credit card information by get_information. But I do not know how to get the balance, transactions without an "sepa_account object"

Could you give me a hint?

[cewee]

I have the same problem as @Ulli2k , looking into the model it seems, that everywhere 'SEPAAccounts' are expected and the representation retrieved by e.g. :
accounts = client.get_information()['accounts']

cannot be used to get transactions. I have to create the object manually as:

sepaAc = models.SEPAAccount(iban=account'iban'], bic='xxx', accountnumber=account['account_number'], subaccount=account['subaccount_number'], blz='xx')
which works for Girokonto but again not for the credit card account.

[neustifter]

I have the very same problem. get_credit_card_transactions throws an exception that the operation is not supported.

[HWiese1980]

4 1/2 years later, have you guys found out how to circumvent this issue? It still persists, does it not? @cewee @neustifter @Ulli2k

[HWiese1980]

@raphaelm I would really appreciate your input.

[raphaelm]

I have not put any time into this since I don't have a use case for it
