data-importer VS GnuCash

RTFM https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer/

theres some third parties that give you an API directly I believe. Firefly III lists salt edge and nordigen.

https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer/

Firefly III is missing plenty of features (see below). I started Firefly III with a single user (me) and everything else is a bonus.

https://docs.firefly-iii.org/firefly-iii/about-firefly-iii/w...

I will admit that I caved under pressure and built the Firefly III Data Importer:

https://github.com/firefly-iii/data-importer

It can connect to your bank via Salt Edge if it is supported. Here is the documentation on the data importer - https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer/

for auto-sync you need https://docs.firefly-iii.org/data-importer with API from Salt Edge or Nordingen.

You can easily import data into Firefly III using their data importer[0] and Nordigen API or Spectre (usage is explained in [0]). Doing so automatically is just a matter of running a cron job

Note the full API may be accessible via a cli interface.

The above work will be merged hopefully soon.

For the first repository, gnucash, it appears to be a C++ application. The common convention for a C++ app is to have the "main()" function inside a source file with the same name as the library, e.g. "gnucash.cpp". And sure enough, here it is. If I didn't think to guess that it was in that file, I could always just download the repository and do a CTRL-F for "main(". That would lead me to it immediately.

I also use GnuCash as accounting package (since 2008) for my business and it's great. Never had any issue with it.
