Stop code between client.fetch_tan() und client.activate_session()

[jazzmoe]

Hi,

I am very new to Python and try to write my first scripts accessing my bank accounts. Unfortunately, after I run client.fetch_tan(user, password) the code runs further to client.activate_session() and creates an error. This is because in between I have to activate my photo tan.

Is there any option to let the code "wait" until the tan is activated and then run the statement client.activate_session()?

client.fetch_tan(user, password)

# Here some condition would make sense to run the next line only when the TAN is activated

client.activate_session()

Thanks for you help,
Moritz

Hi Moritz,

Unfortunately, there is no way for the code to know when the TAN is activated. That is why you need to run activate_session() specifically after the manual TAN activation. There are a few ways you could achieve this, for example:

• Pause the script using a breakpoint in your IDE (probably only useful for development)
• Have a GUI or a server with different buttons/endpoints, one for fetching the TAN, and others for activating the session and doing other things. Note that activate_session() needs to be called on the same client-Object fetch_tan() was called on, because the token is saved there.

It is a bit laborious, but as far as I am aware of the comdirect API doesn't support something like 'wait for TAN activation, then continue' (at least the documentation doesn't say so). Would be a nice feature tho, I agree.

Hope I could be of some help :)

I just make my script wait for a keypress:

        print("Now activate your photo-TAN!")
        print("And then press <Enter> on the console.")
        input()

Regards,

Georg
