Loads transactions into [You Need a Budget](https://www.youneedabudget.com/) (YNAB) in real time!*
\* for varying definitions of real time
<hr>
YNAB has built in functionality to import transactions from your credit cards, but banks often don't make this data available very quickly; usually it takes a day or two. However, many banks have the ability to send emails to you when you have a transaction over a certain amount (which can be $0, if you like!). YNABifier scans these emails for transactions, and automatically imports them to YNAB.
This project takes heavy inspiration from [buzzlawless/live-import-for-ynab](https://github.com/buzzlawless/live-import-for-ynab), which does effectively the same thing, but makes use of AWS Simple Email Service, if self-hosting isn't your game.
## Note
YNABifier, while functional, is still a bit of a work in progress. There are some edges that need to be cleaned up, but it works for the most part.
Planned improvements:
- [ ] Streamline the configuration process to not require fetching YNAB IDs by hand.
YNABifier requires a configuration file named `config.yml` placed in your present working directory. It does require some fields that you can fetch from the YNAB API about your account, as well as a [personal access token](https://api.youneedabudget.com/).
```yml
log_level: info # optional
imap:
username: email address
password: IMAP Password
domain: Your IMAP Server
port: 993 # optional
ynab:
personal_access_token: Your YNAB Personal Access Token
budget_id: The YNAB ID for the budget that YNABifier should insert into
accounts:
- account_id: The YNAB ID for account that this should parse
parser: The parser to use (see below)
```
Once this is in place, you can use `cargo run --release`.
