If you're up for it, you can add your own bank/creditcard company/whatever as a plugin to it - I think the examples there are decent. I could also help if need

- throwaway613834 9y agoHaha thanks! The problem is in the US most banks would need screen-scraping; they don't have APIs, so it's a lot more work to do such a thing.
- marvinpinto 9y agoledger-reconciler uses headless chrome underneath to screen-scrape all its information from banking/creditcard websites. That's how all the plugins hook into it. It does not use any public or private banking APIs. Hope that helps!
- throwaway613834 9y agoOh dang I didn't know! I'll check it out at some point then, thanks! :)
- jldugger 9y agoMany actually do have APIs, they're just poorly documented in public.
- noughth 9y agoMany US banks support OFX (though they may call it QFX, DirectConnect, or simply advertise Quicken support). The OFX spec is a bit of a pain, but there are a number of open-source libraries to query/parse it. I wrote one in Go: https://github.com/aclindsa/ofxgo https://github.com/aclindsa/ofxgo
