Assuming you already have a SimpleFIN access
URL (considering you
stumbled across this repo), the easiest way to get started would be to first
rename the example.config.yml
at the root of this repo to
ynab-simplefin-sync.config.yml
and edit it with your bugdet and account IDs:
---
simplefin_access_url: envexpand:$SIMPLEFIN_ACCESS_URL
ynab_budget_id: uuid
ynab_access_token: envexpand:$YNAB_ACCESS_TOKEN
# no need for the ACT- prefix when specifying the SimpleFIN account UUIDs
#
simplefin_ynab_account_mapping:
simplefin-uuid-1: ynab-uuid-1
simplefin-uuid-2: ynab-uuid-2
simplefin-uuid-3: ynab-uuid-3
simplefin-uuid-4: ynab-uuid-4
You can find the YNAB IDs from the web URL when you navigate your budget (e.g.
https://app.youneedabudget.com/<budget-id>/accounts/<account-id>
). The
SimpleFIN account IDs can be found by running simplefin accounts
. The ACT-
prefixes can be omitted if you'd like.
Now you're ready to access your financial info from the commandline like a fool:
❯ ynab-simplefin-sync ynab accounts
...
❯ ynab-simplefin-sync simplefin accounts
...
❯ ynab-simplefin-sync simplefin transactions --start "$(date +%s -d-7day)"
...
❯ ynab-simplefin-sync sync --start "$(date +%s -d-7day)"
