An Open Banking CLI.

Features

• Connect to banks using GoCardless Open Banking API
• List all connected banks and their status
• List balances of all connected accounts
• List transactions for an account
• Sync all transactions with a MongoDB database

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. Then run the following command:

$ docker-compose up -d

The leggen container will exit, this is expected. Now you can run the following command to create the configuration file:

$ docker compose run leggen init

Now you need to connect your bank accounts. 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
