Use REST directly instead of scraping?

In all modern mobile apps for banking, they must use REST to fetch the data. In FIBI for example, it super simple because their website is shitty, but in mobile app they are using REST. Same with Pepper.

You can either use Charles for iOS (https://www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/ios/), or use Charles for Mac (with it's Custom SSL certificate, and install the profile on your mobile phone with a proxy. This way all requests are being decrypted and you can track the complete request on your Macbook, and log the requests and responses).

I think this might simplify the implementation, no? We can even do JSON schema and GraphQL Mesh for that...
