How data is generated

scripts/scrape_banks.py uses EdgeGPT to query Bing for each bank's public rate/charge data and writes results to data/banks/notes.md.

Cookies are never hardcoded — provide via env var or a gitignored file:

# Option 1: env var
export BING_COOKIES='[{"name":"_U","value":"...","domain":".bing.com",...}]'
python scripts/scrape_banks.py

# Option 2: file (gitignored)
cp bing_cookies.example.json bing_cookies.json
# fill in your cookies
python scripts/scrape_banks.py

To publish a markdown file to Medium:

export MEDIUM_TOKEN=your_medium_integration_token
python scripts/publish.py data/banks/comparison.md -t "Top Zero Balance Accounts in India" -p public
