# APEX Information
# ----------------
# This script simply defines the urls of the information that we need 
# exported out of APEX.
# 
# Note that the cost basis URLs access APEX's API. This means that
# we only have to open these pages in Selenium in order to export this 
# information.

# account information
# -------------------
m1_account_number = "" # your M1 account number
user = "" # your APEX username
password = "" # APEX password

# info to clean up our code
