That claim was probably made by me, and I still stand by it. Let me guess, you are using OFX?

My initial goal was to provide a simple and cheap API that one can get started with in minutes vs. having to gather a server list, maintain it, read through the OFX docs, etc. In my testing, I have never had a problem with stale data, but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist. Going forward, I am not opposed to scraping if there's a demand for it.
