Maybe your bank is better about this and offers OFX, but ultimately I gave up on this approach due to my bank adding more aggressive anti-scraping measures over time. The credit card sites were even worse about this.

Now I have a Postfix server setup which accepts the daily transaction summaries they send and makes CSVs out of those. There's still some HTML munging involved but I've found it much easier to let the data come to me than to go out and try to fetch it myself. In my experience financial institutions simply don't have a lot of reliable automation options accessible to the normal consumer.
