- MrOwen 11y agoI agree. I've tweeted @Simple to see if they want to add anything to this thread. Although for a while now, their blog and Twitter feed have been filled with more "goal" posts/tweets than feature related things. And like others have said, their plans for an official API are probably non-existent.
- jrowley 11y agoThey do allow exporting transactions to JSON and CSV, so that could be a starting point if you're willing to work with the challenges of authentication. https://www.simple.com/help/articles/account-info/statements-and-export https://www.simple.com/help/articles/account-info/statements...
- RickS 11y agoThis is an important distinction. Simple's API is not secret, but it's also not stable, or versioned, or anything close to that. Tools have been written to extract data from simple's API, but those endpoints have mostly been discovered through unofficial channels, and Simple often changes them without issuing any kind of warning. So far twitter has been the best route to find about their changing API endpoints, which speaks simultaneously to the disorganization of the API and the massively high quality of their support team.
