Actually another case that is analogous to this is Amazon, which provides
descriptions of the products you bought on a credit card.
One imports their credit card, but may want to have as a side-input an
Amazon details file to provide more information on the transactions.
It's possible to write your own main program to call the ingest code.
It's here (read comments):
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/src/tip/beancount/ingest/scripts_utils.py
It's a bit convoluted - this code is intended to support the old invocation
(e.g. with bean-extract) and the new one (as a script, with subcommands),
and I haven't tried to add custom args, so you may have to figure some
stuff out, but that's how I'd do this.
Cheers,
