Issue Type

Documentation Change Request

Description

3rd Party nYnab Exporter - https://json-exporter-for-ynab.netlify.app/ can't be used anymore since months apparently.

When you try to "Authorize JSON Exporter for YNAB" it says "This application is restricted and is unable to be authorized." and clicking on Authorize does nothing. I have this behavior for the past few weeks.

People on internet/reddit seems to confirm that it's the case since several months at least.

Expected/Desired Content

StephenBrown2 (https://github.com/StephenBrown2) on GitHub created a tool that does the same thing automatically. I tested it and it works great! It's local and multi-platform.

A simple tool to export YNAB budget json

A simple, beginner-friendly tool to export your YNAB (You Need A Budget) budget data for import into Actual Budget.

This tool simplifies the export process described in the Actual Budget migration guide by providing an interactive terminal interface that guides you through each step.

Maybe we could add this as alternative as it's much more simpler and quicker than doing the manual method : "Export Using API Key"
