Emma Pro - API to manage manual accounts

I don’t have Emma Pro so maybe this already exists – does Emma Pro offer an API to manage manual accounts?

A simple API could allow updating balances.
A more advanced one could allow importing transactions!

That’d make Emma Pro a killer feature, as it would allow bridging the gap between Emma and any non-supported bank (passionate users could just scrape their bank’s web interface, or export transactions in any format their bank supports, parse that and send it up to the Emma API).

I wish, but no. Emma only supports a custom account where you can update the balance. I’d love to see one where you can add custom trana. If you could import a Excel or a CSV file that would be great too. Then you could import years of data from your bank.

Hey @julienm

Thanks for the great feedback, this is not currently available but I will definitely feed this back to the product team!

Thanks

You know how to code? :slight_smile:

What’s the use case here? Like you just run a script that updates the balances?

Yup, for unsupported banks, running a script that scrapes my bank’s website and updates the balances (and possibly transactions!) in Emma.

… or for banks supported by Yodlee, using Yodlee with a free license and my own API key :stuck_out_tongue:

Sounds like the dream. ahah

Yes, I think we are going to open up our API for these use cases - we just need to find some spare time. :wink:

It can become extremely powerful.

Yes, I do. At least to some extent

ETA please I’m begging, I’ll shill Emma at my campus and outside in my underwear if it’s done well :joy::joy:

Has this progressed any further? Would love to update my manual accounts via API

Hey guys,

Either an API (better!) or at least csv import function to import transactions from an offline account would be super. I have a couple of EU accounts that a feed isn’t available for, and manually adding transactions one by one is a pain & prone to error.

Helloo @elisepajackson :wave:

Welcome to the Emma Community

Agree that both of these things would be amazing!

Have you seen our product roadmap? We have both of these things in our long-term plan :arrow_down::raised_hands:
