beancount-gocardless

GoCardless API client with models manually recreated from swagger spec, plus Beancount importer.

Inspired by https://github.com/tarioch/beancounttools.

Full documentation at https://beancount-gocardless.readthedocs.io/en/latest/.

Key Features:

• API Client: Models based on swagger spec. Built-in caching via requests-cache.

• GoCardLess CLI: A command-line interface to manage authorization with the GoCardless API:

  • Listing available banks in a specified country (default: GB).
  • Creating a link to a specific bank using its ID.
  • Listing authorized accounts.
  • Deleting an existing link.
  • Uses environment variables (GOCARDLESS_SECRET_ID, GOCARDLESS_SECRET_KEY) or command-line arguments for API credentials.

• Beancount Importer: A beangulp.Importer implementation to easily import transactions fetched from the GoCardless API directly into your Beancount ledger.

You'll need to create a GoCardLess account on https://bankaccountdata.gocardless.com/overview/ to get your credentials.
