Pynab is a Python interface to the YNAB4 (You Need A Budget v4) database. The purpose is to give an interface for other scripts to use to analyze or automate some tasks that would otherwise be time-consuming. This would also give users the ability to add some features, theoretically, to YNAB.
This project started as a fork of James Seward's alfred-ynab Alfred 2 module, https://github.com/jamesoff/alfred-ynab. He included a YNAB parser for the purposes of finding the remaining budget balances for the Alfred workflow.
This was only a read-only interface, and I wanted to create an interface that would allow for writing to the database. This would enable the automation of transaction entry, tracking investments by increase / decrease transactions, etc.
The wiki for this project will house any information relevant to development or use. During development, I plan to store any information I find from reverse-engineering the YNAB database in the wiki. Also, eventually, this will be where the information as to how to use this library will be located.
The original interface was licensed BSD. Whilst this remains in the repository in any form, I will be licensing this in BSD as well.
If anyone has any interest in contributing, please contact me. You can suggest a feature by adding an issue if you so desire as well.
Disclaimer: I am but a lone contributor and can only work on this in my spare free time. The day job does get in the way of things like this. So, I make no guarantees as to the timeliness of completion, etc.
