Beancount Nordnet DK Importer

beancount-nordnetdk provides an importer for converting CSV exports of Nordnet transaction summaries to the Beancount format.

Installation

$ pip install beancount-nordnetdk

In case you prefer installing from the Github repository, please note that main is the development branch so stable is what you should be installing from.

Usage

If you're not familiar with how to import external data into Beancount, please read this guide first.

Beancount 3.x

Beancount 3.x has replaced the config.py file based workflow in favor of having a script based workflow, as per the changes documented here. The beangulp examples suggest using a Python script based on beangulp.Ingest. Here's an example of how that might work:

Add an import.py script in your project root with the following contents:

from beancount_nordnetdk import NordnetDKImporter
from beangulp import Ingest

importers = (
    NordnetDKImporter(
        depot_accounts={
            "12345678": "Assets:Nordnet:Account1",
            "23456789": "Assets:Nordnet:Account2",
            "34567890": "Assets:Nordnet:Account3",
        },
        currency="DKK",
        stock_account="Assets:Nordnet:Stocks",
        fees_account="Expenses:Investments:Fees",
        dividend_account="Income:Investments:Dividends",
        tax_account="Expenses:Investments:Tax",
        interest_account="Income:Investments:Interest",
    ),
)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    ingest = Ingest(importers)
    ingest()

... and run it directly using python import.py extract.

Beancount 2.x

Adjust your config file to include NordnetDKImporter.

Add the following to your config.py:

from beancount_nordnetdk import NordnetDKImporter

CONFIG = [
    NordnetDKImporter(
        depot_accounts={
            "12345678": "Assets:Nordnet:Account1",
            "23456789": "Assets:Nordnet:Account2",
        },
        currency="DKK",
        stock_account="Assets:Nordnet:Stocks",
        fees_account="Expenses:Investments:Fees",
        dividend_account="Income:Investments:Dividends",
        tax_account="Expenses:Investments:Tax",
        interest_account="Income:Investments:Interest",
    ),
]

Once this is in place, you should be able to run bean-extract on the command line to extract the transactions and pipe all of them into your Beancount file.

$ bean-extract /path/to/config.py transactions-and-notes-export.csv >> you.beancount
