Original Pull Request: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/pull/2683

State: closed
Merged: Yes

Allow running 3rd party (gocardless, simplefin) bank-sync via the API package.

This will allow people to run the bank-sync operation in the background on a schedule (i.e. with cron jobs).

Usage:

const api = require('@actual-app/api');

(async () => {
  await api.init({
    // Budget data will be cached locally here, in subdirectories for each file.
    dataDir: '/path/to/budget/file',
    // This is the URL of your running server
    serverURL: 'https://xxxxxxx.fly.dev',
    // This is the password you use to log into the server
    password: 'xxxxxx',
  });

  // This is the ID from Settings → Show advanced settings → Sync ID
  await api.downloadBudget('xxxxxx-xxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx');

  // Run bank sync for a single account
  await api.runBankSync({ accountId: 'xxxxxx-xxxxx-xxx-xxxxx-xxxxxxxx' });

  // Run bank sync for all accounts
  await api.runBankSync();

  await api.shutdown();
})();
