Beancount PayPal Importer

beancount-paypal provides an Importer for converting CSV exports of PayPal into the beancount format.

Installation

pip install git+https://github.com/nils-werner/beancount-paypal.git

Usage

Basic usage

Configure PaypalImporter in your importer script, and download your PayPal statements as CSV.

In PayPal you can customize the report fields. If you enable Transaction Details > Balance, the beancount output will be finalized with a balance assertion.

from beancount_paypal import PaypalImporter

CONFIG = [
    PaypalImporter(
        'my-paypal-account@gmail.com',
        'Assets:US:PayPal',
        'Assets:US:Checking',
        'Expenses:Financial:Commission',
    )
]

Advanced usage

If you enable additional report fields you can map them into transaction metadata using the metadata_map keyword argument:

from beancount_paypal import PaypalImporter, lang

CONFIG = [
    PaypalImporter(
        'my-paypal-account@gmail.com',
        'Assets:US:PayPal',
        'Assets:US:Checking',
        'Expenses:Financial:Commission',
        language=lang.de(),
        metadata_map={
            "uuid": "Transaktionscode",
            "sender": "Absender E-Mail-Adresse",
            "recipient": "Empfänger E-Mail-Adresse"
        }
    )
]
