Handle Blocked Financial Sites Data Export
When browser automation tools are blocked on financial sites (Fidelity, brokerages, banking portals), direct data extraction fails due to safety restrictions. Use fallback methods: request user copy/paste from the site, screenshot capture for OCR/manual reading, or CSV export via manual navigation. For sensitive account data, establish a clear repo separation pattern (private personal repo for data, separate repo for reusable algorithms) to minimize exposure while enabling analysis.
