  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • bapi

    The Beancount API (bapi) provides an HTTP API for interacting with a Beancount ledger file

    Since you've already written a web app, your other alternative would be creating a separate web app that wraps the ledger binary. I did something similar to this with bapi using the beancount binary.

  • Poetry

    Python packaging and dependency management made easy

    I use Poetry and list Beancount as a dependency and then it's installed during the build process.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • docker-ledger

    Dockerized version of https://www.ledger-cli.org/

    Thanks, I was able to install docker in an empty container with an alpine source (I copied the dockerfile from [dcycle/docker-ledger](https://github.com/dcycle/docker-ledger/blob/master/Dockerfile), I guess I just need to get my API on the same container now.
