Guys hi,
How do you import transactions from bank(checking account, credit cards, etc)? What set up do you use? I've found several ledger CLI related projects for this on github, but nothing for beancount.
p.s. I am in USA, and have a chase bank if it matters.
I've started playing with import scripts,the sample files provided in repo are very useful, just have couple of additional questions i was not able to figure out/not 100% sure about:
1 bean-extract does not write transactions in main beancount file (personal.beancount), it generates output into command line or tmp.beancount and we enter them manually, right?
2 when running "bean-extract -e BEANCOUNT_FILE" what is the algorithm used to check duplication? Does it check only for same amounts? Or also takes into consideration additional clues (payee, date range, etc)?
3 When filing files bean-file example.import ../Downloads/ -o documents/ how are name and date generated?
Seems it is picks up date from original file name (example UTrade20160215.csv), but when it's not in file name how ofxdownload.ofx turns to 2013-12-18.bofa.ofx
4 Main value of regression testing is to insure that new changes/additions to importers still work with old input files,
It's not so useful to help importers work with new formats if format was changed by bank, right?
