Bank Statement API Integration — Any Bank, Any Country

Bank Statement API Integration — Any Bank, Any Country

Every bank uses a different PDF format. Some use column-based tables, others prefer row-based layouts. Instead of building and maintaining manual templates, use Bank Statement Parser API to process any format automatically.

Why Template-Free?

With template-based tools, when a format changes:

  • All output breaks
  • Manual update is required
  • Your workflow stops

Bank Statement Parser API analyzes the PDF's structure. It adapts automatically as formats evolve.

Python Quick Start

import requests

resp = requests.post(

"https://api.bank-statement-parser.clkr.work/extract",

headers={"X-Api-Key": "pex_your_api_key"},

files={"file": open("statement.pdf", "rb")}

)

data = resp.json()

print(f"Format: {data['bankKey']}")

print(f"Pages: {data['pageCount']}")

print(f"Transactions: {len(data['transactions'])}")

for txn in data["transactions"]:

print(f"{txn['date']} | {txn['description'][:40]:40} | {txn['amount']:>10.2f}")

Process All Statements in Bulk

import os, requests, pandas as pd

def process_all_statements(folder: str, api_key: str) -> pd.DataFrame:

all_transactions = []

for filename in os.listdir(folder):

if not filename.endswith(".pdf"):

continue

resp = requests.post(

"https://api.bank-statement-parser.clkr.work/extract",

headers={"X-Api-Key": api_key},

files={"file": open(f"{filename}", "rb")}

)

data = resp.json()

format_key = data.get("bankKey", "unknown")

for txn in data.get("transactions", []):

txn["format"] = format_key

txn["source"] = filename

all_transactions.append(txn)

print(f"✓ {filename}: {format_key} — {len(data.get('transactions', []))} transactions")

return pd.DataFrame(all_transactions)

df = process_all_statements("./statements", "pex_your_api_key")

df.to_excel("all_transactions.xlsx", index=False)

print(f"Total: {len(df)} transactions from {df['format'].nunique()} formats")

Unknown Format — Automatic Learning

When the API encounters a format it hasn't seen before:

resp = requests.post(

"https://api.bank-statement-parser.clkr.work/extract",

headers={"X-Api-Key": "pex_your_api_key"},

files={"file": open("new_format.pdf", "rb")}

)

if resp.status_code == 202:

data = resp.json()

print(f"Queue ID: {data['queueId']}")

print("Format is being analyzed — usually ready within 30 minutes")

elif resp.status_code == 200:

print(f"Processed: {resp.json()['bankKey']}")
