Unless it can pull transactions from my bank this isn't very helpful. It looks like it can't. I have far too many accounts+transactions to do by hand.

- driminicus 7y agoI export transactions from my bank CSV and import it into firefly, which works fine for my usecase.
- xfitm3 7y agoI manage too many accounts – but yeah, I can see how thats helpful for some.
- crummy 7y agoIt can, if your bank supports Spectre (which apparently is a common API service for banks). It's a bit awkward, you have to sign up for a third party to do it, but worked well for the three months or so I used Firefly. Here are the docs: https://docs.firefly-iii.org/en/latest/import/spectre.html https://docs.firefly-iii.org/en/latest/import/spectre.html (For what it's worth, now I use Pocketsmith, a NZ-made Mint clone that I'm pretty happy with.)

- TeMPOraL 7y agoSpeaking of which, does anyone know if EU's PSD2 will finally allow me to read the balance of my own bank account via an API, or do I have to subscribe to whatever fly-by-night ad-driven SaaS that'll get a deal with the banks and scrap their site? I'm not trying to scrap bank sites, even though I could, because a) it's a PITA to get through the increasing amount of login hoops they deploy, and b) I don't want to risk even a small chance that they'll lock me out of access to my own money because I "hacked" their site.
- JC5 7y agoIt would work fine, but each bank has their own API's and enrollment routines and all of them involve buying a PSD2 certificate, which costs upwards of 2000$
