For some APIs you can get the access yourself. For example, here is the API for account and transaction information at ABN AMRO (3rd largest bank in the Netherlands): https://developer.abnamro.com/api-products/business-account-...

I'll concede that it's only for business accounts. But, that includes small single owner businesses and I've been considering to switch to ABN to automate the accounting of my small side business.

The PSD2 APIs (also for consumers) indeed need a PSD2 license and an EIDAS certificate.

Technically, for consumer data, I think you could use GDPR to request a computer-readable extract of your transaction data. However, I think most banks would then redirect you to some CSV/MT940 export option in the web interface that is hard to automate.
