American Airlines Doesn't Like Letting Your Traxo Account Access Your Data

Well, Traxo may bill themselves as "the Mint of travel", but I worked at banks in the early days of Mint and before, and I remember how hard banks worked to prevent aggregators like Yodlee from scraping their sites. At first, the banks tried everything: I remember being asked to put in random HTML element changes just in hopes of foiling the scraping. But eventually Yodlee "made peace" with most of the banks by selling them services. (Mint originally used Yodlee although today they have their own scraping technology.)<p>A little more than a decade later, it is a completely different world. Now banks like mine have projects to create servers JUST FOR MINT to scrape. And we do it because our customers are loudly clamoring for us to "work with Mint". The scrapers just had to hang on for a few years through strong resistance from the entrenched powers, and eventually they BECAME an entrenched power themselves.
