An Open Banking CLI

Project description

💲 leggen

An Open Banking CLI.

This tool aims to provide a simple way to connect to banks using the GoCardless Open Banking API.

Having a simple CLI tool to connect to banks and list transactions can be very useful for developers and companies that need to access bank data.

Having your bank data in a database, gives you the power to backup, analyze and create reports with your data.

🛠️ Technologies

📦 Storage

  • SQLite: for storing transactions, simple and easy to use
  • MongoDB: alternative store for transactions, good balance between performance and query capabilities

⏰ Scheduling

  • Ofelia: for scheduling regular syncs with the database when using Docker

📊 Visualization

  • NocoDB: for visualizing and querying transactions, a simple and easy to use interface for SQLite

✨ Features

  • Connect to banks using GoCardless Open Banking API
  • List all connected banks and their statuses
  • List balances of all connected accounts
  • List transactions for all connected accounts
  • Sync all transactions with a SQLite and/or MongoDB database
  • Visualize and query transactions using NocoDB
  • Schedule regular syncs with the database using Ofelia
  • Send notifications to Discord and/or Telegram when transactions match certain filters

🚀 Installation and Configuration

In order to use leggen, you need to create a GoCardless account. GoCardless is a service that provides access to Open Banking APIs. You can create an account at https://gocardless.com/bank-account-data/.

After creating an account and getting your API keys, the best way is to use the compose file. Open the file and adapt it to your needs.

Example Configuration

Create a configuration file at with the following content:

[gocardless]
key = "your-api-key"
secret = "your-secret-key"
url = "https://bankaccountdata.gocardless.com/api/v2"

[database]
sqlite = true
mongodb = true

[database.mongodb]
uri = "mongodb://localhost:27017"

[notifications.discord]
webhook = "https://discord.com/api/webhooks/..."

[notifications.telegram]
# See gist for telegram instructions
# https://gist.github.com/nafiesl/4ad622f344cd1dc3bb1ecbe468ff9f8a
token = "12345:abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvxwyz"
chat-id = 12345

[filters.case-insensitive]
filter1 = "company-name"

Running Leggen with Docker

After adapting the compose file, run the following command:

$ docker compose up -d

The leggen container will exit, this is expected since you didn't connect any bank accounts yet.

Run the following command and follow the instructions:

$ docker compose run leggen bank add

To sync all transactions with the database, run the following command:

$ docker compose run leggen sync
