Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

Is this related to GoCardless, Simplefin or another bank-sync provider?

  • I have checked my server logs and could not see any errors there
  • I will be attaching my server logs to this issue
  • I will be attaching my client-side (browser) logs to this issue
  • I understand that this issue will be automatically closed if insufficient information is provided

What happened?

Hello !

I've searched through existing issues and tried to play with my versions, but in vain. That's probably a silly mistake on me but since I'm not able to find what's wrong... Maybe you'll have some ideas to put me on track.

I'm using the API trying to parse a CSV locally then use the API to import transactions.

Environment

Server:

  • Actual v24.3.0 on a Pikapod
  • Custom DNS, HTTPS provided by Pikapod

I don't know how to give server logs

Client:

  • Node: v20.3.1
  • actual-app/api": "^6.7.0"
  • NestJS: 10.0.0 if that matters
  "dependencies": {
    "@actual-app/api": "^6.7.0",
    "@nestjs/common": "^10.0.0",
    "@nestjs/config": "^3.2.1",
    "@nestjs/core": "^10.0.0",
    "@nestjs/platform-express": "^10.0.0",
    "@types/crypto-js": "^4.2.2",
    "@types/luxon": "^3.4.2",
    "@types/objects-to-csv": "^1.3.3",
    "@types/uuid": "^9.0.8",
    "crypto-js": "^4.2.0",
    "csv": "^6.3.8",
    "csv-parser": "^3.0.0",
    "csv-writer": "^1.6.0",
    "export-to-csv": "^1.2.4",
    "js-yaml": "^4.1.0",
    "luxon": "^3.4.4",
    "moment": "^2.30.1",
    "nanoid": "^3.3.7",
    "neat-csv": "^7.0.0",
    "objects-to-csv": "^1.3.6",
    "randomstring": "^1.3.0",
    "reflect-metadata": "^0.2.0",
    "rxjs": "^7.8.1",
    "uuid": "^9.0.1"
  }

Client code

  • The passwod I'm using is the one I use to connect to the UI
  • the budget ID I use is the one I could find in settings > advanced > sync id I also tried the BudgetId with same results
import * as api from '@actual-app/api';



    await api.init({
      "serverUrl": "https://my.own.domain.com",
      "password": "redacted",
      "dataDir": "/tmp/actual"
    });
    try {
      await api.downloadBudget('redacted');
      await api.shutdown()
    } catch (error) {
      this.logger.error(error)
    }

What error did you receive?

/home/acouty/git/Personnel/bnp-transactions-parser/node_modules/.pnpm/@actual-app+api@6.7.0/node_modules/@actual-app/api/dist/app/bundle.api.js:35047
                        throw new Error('Could not get remote files');
                              ^
Error: Could not get remote files
    at handlers.api/download-budget (/home/acouty/git/Personnel/bnp-transactions-parser/node_modules/.pnpm/@actual-app+api@6.7.0/node_modules/@actual-app/api/dist/app/bundle.api.js:35047:31)

When running in Debugger it seems that the Token returned in listRemoteFiles is undefined, so I tried [NODE_TLS_REJECT_UNAUTHORIZED](https://nodejs.org/api/cli.html#node_tls_reject_unauthorizedvalue) to 0. to try out but din't get more success.

Where are you hosting Actual?

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?
