Howdy,
I've been looking recently into the PayPal development API's and have found no way to subscribe to the transactions of a personal account. I'm exploring the capacity to make a personal finance dashboard similar to Mint or other competing tools, but on a smaller scale.
The functionality I need is the equivalent of the IPN service (https://developer.paypal.com/docs/classic/products/instant-payment-notification/#use-ipn-in-your-che...) for a non-business account. Either an RSS feed hosted by PayPal or an HTTPS callout to a domain of my choice called after money either enters or leaves a user account. Of the tooling I've seen so far, the Activity download feature / exporting an all inclusive custom statement is the closest feature. I'm looking for a way to automate this.
Right now, it seems my best option is to scrape the HTTPS traffic in the browser as well as my PayPal O-Auth tokens.
