You may have heard of the Sugar Tax……introducing the Burger Tax! 🍔💷.

I’ve created a solution using the Starling Bank developer API and an Azure Function that “taxes” me whenever I buy junk food (specifically McDonalds!), moving 20% of the transaction into a Savings Space within my Starling Bank account.

I’ve put together a video that walks through the solution end-to-end.

The code for the Azure Function is available here.

Other useful resources:

• Automating Azure Function App creation with the Azure CLI
• Inspecting webhook calls with ngrok
• Get access to my bank account using Python….why not?!?

Enjoy!
