Plaid's Bank API [0]
Its free for 25 accounts and connects to most banks [1]. The only bank I've found it doesn't work for is Barclays. I have most of my accounts (credit cardd and banks) hooked up to pull transaction data.
It returns JSON including category of spend. I don't know GNUCash, but you could format that any which way with a little scripting.

- orthecreedence 9y agoI can second Plaid. I use it with a read-only account on my bank, and it works great. I have a daily cron that grabs the data and pulls it into a database on my home network. It's free (since I only have one use -- me), which is great.
- dhruvkar 9y agowhat do you use to manage the transaction data? do you go through to categorize them? have a frontend for viewing?
- orthecreedence 9y agoI pull the transactions into SQLite, and have a custom web frontend I use to categorize them. Then for reporting, I export the whole database into a Ledger (https://www.ledger-cli.org/ https://www.ledger-cli.org/) file. Works great, although it's a lot of moving pieces.
