Does anyone have ofxget working for Vanguard accounts?

[Justin Steffen]

Hey all,

I'm curious if anyone has ofxget working for Vanguard accounts and if they could share how the managed to get it working and their configuration?

My config is:

(.venv) ➜  ledger git:(main) ofxget list vanguard

Vanguard Group, The
ofxhome = 479
url = https://vesnc.vanguard.com/us/OfxProfileServlet
version = 220
org = Vanguard
fid = 15103
brokerid = vanguard.com
pretty = true
clientuid = <CLIENTD_UID>

I get the following errors:

• urllib3.exceptions.ConnectTimeoutError: (<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x1073f9a90>, 'Connection to vesnc.vanguard.com timed out. (connect timeout=10.0)')
• urllib3.exceptions.MaxRetryError: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='vesnc.vanguard.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /us/OfxProfileServlet (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x1073f9a90>, 'Connection to vesnc.vanguard.com timed out. (connect timeout=10.0)'))
• requests.exceptions.ConnectTimeout: HTTPSConnectionPool(host='vesnc.vanguard.com', port=443): Max retries exceeded with url: /us/OfxProfileServlet (Caused by ConnectTimeoutError(<urllib3.connection.HTTPSConnection object at 0x1073f9a90>, 'Connection to vesnc.vanguard.com timed out.

Thanks,

Justin

This hasn’t worked in many years AFAIK. I download it manually from this page:

As far as I know, Vanguard direct OFX support earlier this year.

Ah yes, I recall Banktivity supporting Vanguard until recently. However, I didn’t have luck getting it to work even before then. Vanguard work fine for me years ago, and then quit. It worked for a while via ofxgo IIRC, and at some point that stopped working too, for me at least.

Here are a couple relevant threads:

• github
• github

Anyway, it seems like this is all moot at this point given Banktivity’s post you linked to.
