That's interesting. I, however, still spend between 20 and 30 minutes once a week to keep by beancount updated by manually entering the transactions, a habit I perform for the past 14 or so years.
At the same time, I did automate 90% of my business beancount import by writing a custom stripe importer that imports transactions from stripe. As for the expenses, I still enter them manually in the aforementioned 20-30 minute session.

Consider entering the transactions into a software like KMyMoney and write a script to export to beancount format. Entering/importing is a lot easier in a SW like KMyMoney (e.g. it does decent matching of the new transaction to prior transactions of similar amounts).
- jldugger 2y agoHonestly, there's a sort of Jevons paradox at work. Importing credit card transactions isn't that hard, but now that it's solved, I should really be monitoring my investment portfolio more closely, or tracking intangible assets like unused vacation hours, or recording all those taxes and expenses listed on my paycheck.
