This simple CLI helps sync bitcoin price changes to your YNAB account(s). It also has some functions to help find the necessary IDs for automating the syncing process since YNAB doesn't provide end users with easy access to budget IDs, account IDs, etc.
Note: I built this for my minor understanding of Bitcoin.
Required environment variables:
YNAB_BEARER_TOKEN
YNAB_BUDGET_ID
YNAB_ACCOUNT_ID
BITCOIN_ADDR
A bearer token can be created from your My Account page in YNAB web app.
Use the resource functions to obtain the YNAB_BUDGET_ID and YNAB_ACCOUNT_ID values.
And set BITCOIN_ADDR for the transaction balance you would like to track.
The balance command will display your YNAB balance and the current value of a Bitcoin transaction.
$ ynab-bitcoin-balance-tracker balance
Current Value $
Bitcoin balance (USD) 5222.84
YNAB Account 5270.11
Delta -52.72
Adding the --sync flag will create a transction in YNAB based on the account and budget IDs set as environment variables.
$ ynab-bitcoin-balance-tracker balance --sync
Current Value $
Bitcoin balance (USD) 5280.51
YNAB Account 5279.99
Delta 0.52
Transaction of amount 0.52 successfully created.
The budgets command will display all budgets under your account. I think "My Budget" is the default name given for your first account.
$ ynab-bitcoin-balance-tracker budgets
Name ID
My Budget DF5F6915-EB1F-442B-A6D9-40C9EBA36D82
Work Budget EDB6DF43-2638-4C10-A9F8-04A938C6BCF1
The accounts command will default to "My Budget" but any budget can be listed by using the --budgetName flag.
$ ynab-bitcoin-balance-tracker accounts --budgetName "Work Budget"
