SimpleFIN 2 Ledger

SimpleFIN is a data format/protocol for getting read-only access to your bank account information.

sfin2ledger is a command line utility for converting SimpleFIN account data into a format suitable for Ledger.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/simplefin/sfin2ledger.git

Example

Find your bank's SimpleFIN server. If they don't have one, you can use the SimpleFIN Bridge. The example below uses a demo account from the SimpleFIN Bridge.

Claim an access url (you do this once you have a Setup Token):

SETUP_TOKEN="aHR0cHM6Ly9icmlkZ2Uuc2ltcGxlZmluLm9yZy9zaW1wbGVmaW4vY2xhaW0vZGVtbw=="
CLAIM_URL=$(echo ${SETUP_TOKEN} | base64 --decode)
ACCESS_URL=$(curl -X POST $CLAIM_URL)
echo "$ACCESS_URL" > /tmp/access_url

Get some data in ledger format (do this daily or whatever):

curl "$(cat /tmp/access_url)/accounts" | sfin2ledger

which produces something like:
