Scraping multiple accounts together #28

Closed esakal closed 6 years ago

esakal commented 6 years ago

Hello @eshaham. As a nYnaber for a year and a half I was using Finanda import module to scrape all the sites. As they decided to end the life of their desktop product I was looking for alternatives and found your two awesome repositories.

After playing with this library I think adding the following will contribute to its' daily flow:

  1. extend npm run credentials to manage multiple account together (allowing the user to view list of configured accounts, modify/delete existing, add new ones) and name them as you wish, ie 'home accounts' or 'work accounts'
  2. scrape a group of accounts and export a joined csv file to be easily import them together to nYnab.
  3. change the layout of the exported csv to match the fields recommended by nYnab: account, date, payee, inflow, outflow, memo.

I think having supporting multiple accounts will reduce the number of key strokes significantly.

I would appreciate your insights :)

sounds good 😄

also sounds good, as long as there's still an option to separate into different files (to keep compatibility with old YNAB)

  1. change the layout of the exported csv to match the fields recommended by nYnab: account, date, payee, inflow, outflow, memo.

👍
