Beancount importer for Mercury Startup Checking

beancount-mercury

beancount-mercury provides an Importer for converting CSV exports Mercury checking transactions into Beancount v2 format.

Installation

pip install beancount-mercury

Usage

Add the Mercury importer to your account as follows:

import beancount_mercury

CONFIG = [
    beancount_mercury.CheckingImporter(
        'Assets:Checking:Mercury',
        currency='USD',
        account_patterns=[
          # These are example patterns. You can add your own.
          ('GITHUB', 'Expenses:Cloud-Services:Source-Hosting:Github'),
          ('Fedex',  'Expenses:Postage:FedEx'),
        ]
    ),
]

The account_patterns parameter is a list of (regex, account) pairs. For each line in your Mercury CSV, CheckingImporter will attempt to create a matching posting on the transaction by matching the payee or narration to the regexes. The regexes are in priority order, with earlier patterns taking priority over later patterns.

Once this configuration is in place, you can use bean-extract to convert a Mercury CSV export of transactions to beancount format:

bean-extract config.py mercury-transactions.csv
