How to access balance and statements from my bank's website?

I have written a few Visual C# programs to run on Windows desktop. Now I would like to write a program to access my bank's website, log into my account, and download my balance and recent statement(s).

Since I'm relatively new to Visual C#, I don't even know what to search for, e.g. ASP, or WebServices, or ?
My C# book does not cover this. Can you point me to information I can read about how to do this?

Thank you!

You need to check and see if your bank has an api (rest webservice) you can use to get financial data from your account.

Agree with vb2ae, the type of project does not matter.
The availability depends on whether your bank provides an API, so it is best to ask the bank for this question.
And even if they provide it, we may not be able to test it, because we probably don't have an account with that bank.

If I am able to get API information from my bank, where could I find information about how to use it to interact with their website? I'm not sure what this part/feature of Visual C# or .NET Framework is even called.
Thanks,

If they provide an API, at least they will also provide corresponding development documents, and some will also provide forums to discuss related issues.
But whether there is a forum and whether these APIs can be used in .Net need to be verified by the bank.
