bean-download: download your transactions from supporting institutions

[Red S]

bean-download is a tool to conveniently download your transactions from supporting institutions. You configure it with a list of your institutions and arbitrary commands to download them, typically via ofxget. It downloads all of them in parallel, names them appropriately and puts them in the directory of your choice, from which you can then import. The tool is installed as a part of beancount-reds-importers.

For institutions that don't support direct download, you can simply place a text reminder to yourself of any sort. For example, I place a link to remind myself of how to obtain Amazon purchases.

Though it's a simple, front-end, convenience tool, I've used it very frequently for years now, and hence, it has all the bells and whistles

• multi-threaded downloads
• built-in config file template (including `pass` to securely store credentials)
• classify your sites into arbitrary buckets and download just the bucket (eg: just credit cards)
• full command line auto completion support, including your configured sites and buckets
• progress bar, color output, yada yada

Here is the full article on direct downloads.

And a short demo is attached.
