Verified feature request does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

💻

  • Would you like to implement this feature?

Yes, I'd like to implement this myself, but much guidance would be needed, as my knowledge of JS is very rusty and I have never looked into Actual's source before.

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I'm using an iOS shortcut to open https://my.actual/transactions/new semi-automatically whenever I pay using Apple Wallet. I'd like to have amount, account and maybe payee already be filled in.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

Recognize HTTP GET parameters for all input fields. This could be used either for filling in the full set:

https://my.actual/transactions/new?amount=13.37&payee=YNAB&category=Sanity&account=Spending&date=2025-10-30&cleared=false&notes=my%20very%20nice%20transaction

or just some fields:

https://my.actual/transactions/new?amount=23.42&account=Spending

Teaching and learning

Being a micro API, I'd suggest adding a sub page within the "API" chapter of the docs for explaining this and maybe other similar little niceties when added later on. Additionally, the "API" page itself would need to be updated to reflect the then existence of this.
