This is a Python script that pulls your bank transactions through the GoCardless Bank Account Data API and writes them out as OFX files, a format that GnuCash and similar finance software can import directly. It supports any bank connected through GoCardless and comes with menus and instructions in both Dutch and English. The README notes upfront that GoCardless has stopped accepting new users, so people who cannot create a GoCardless account are pointed toward a sister project by the same author that does the same job through a different provider called Enable Banking instead. For those who already have GoCardless access, setup involves installing the Python requirements, copying an example settings file, and filling in a secret ID and secret key generated from the GoCardless website. Running the script lets you pick a bank from a saved list of favorites or search for any supported bank by country code. The first time you connect to a new bank you log in through a link in your browser, handled by GoCardless itself rather than the script, and that connection is then remembered locally so you do not need to repeat the login for a period that is usually around ninety days. The first import for an account pulls ninety days of transaction history by default, and every run after that only fetches new transactions, checking transaction IDs so nothing gets duplicated in GnuCash. Output lands as one OFX file per account with new activity. If you used an earlier version of the script that kept a fixed list of banks in its settings file, the script automatically converts your old saved connections to the new favorites format on first run, so you do not need to log in again. The README also warns that the settings file and saved connection data contain sensitive information that should never be shared or committed to version control, and that GoCardless limits how many API calls each connection allows per day.
