Looks like it's for USA only - https://github.com/bigcapitalhq/bigcapital/issues/123
as far as the ledger-cli google groups [1] go, they seem to think it is a proper journal file. It has been fairly tested with OFX imports (https://github.com/ledger/ledger/wiki/OFX-Import) as well bank autosync (https://github.com/egh/ledger-autosync).
In fact, someone also wrote a book on this - https://leanpub.com/personal-accounting-in-ledger/
I will defer if you are indeed building your own competing tool in this space which is better, but holding to the original point of my request - maybe it will be incremental to support your format if ledger-cli format is supported today. versus not supporting any disk format (or inventing a new one).

I haven't used it, but the team (person?) that makes [Buckets](https://www.budgetwithbuckets.com) makes [SimpleFIN](https://www.simplefin.org), which seems like it exposes exactly what you want: simple transaction data from arbitrary banks.
Plaid offers [transactions APIs](https://plaid.com/products/transactions/), but I guess to your point these APIs are geared towards fintech companies, not personal use.
Has anyone tried https://github.com/firefly-iii/firefly-iii? It seems to be under active development but it always makes me nervous when the vast majority of updates come from one person. (What happens to the project when that person isn’t working on it anymore?)
There's also Plain Text Accounting[1]. The biggest problem of all open source solutions, accountants' experience aside, is the lack of banking and taxes integration, especially outside of US, e.g. for Asian, South American, or African businesses. The most promising FOSS solution for SME I was able to find is Akaunting[2][3].

Check out this : https://github.com/frappe/books - free desktop account software.
https://github.com/frappe/erpnext - free if you host yourself or $10+ if they host it on their server. ERP Software
Both are free. And they are pretty decent.

The other thing GnuCash doesn't do is be a multiuser web app. It's an executable, remember them? There is https://github.com/joshuabach/gnucash-web 0.1.0 but that is just an access to the register you might (or might not) set up on a server to access your database.
there is gnukhata https://gnukhata.org/ that aims to be a free and open source alternative to accounting softwares.
it works self hosted and on desktop.
Currently only for indian tax markets but work is slowly underway for bringing internationalization. Feel free to check the demo on https://gnukhata.gitlab.io/gkapp and if interested, help on https://gitlab.com/gnukhata/gkapp
