Well, I suppose this thread was worth it, if only to flush this heretofore unknown project out from the depths of Martin's secret laboratory. :D
Justus; I agree with what you said. It's mostly not worth the effort (unless you're having fun doing it, or you want to update very frequently).
Welp, as it turns out, that day I got on to doing other things, then there were Ethernet wires to pull, shelves to put up, etc... So apparently, even within the subset of things I "want" to do, I still have not managed to get around to it... ;)
BTW, "baskets" is a project that would benefit from the participation, contribution and constant gardening by a multitude of people, and unlike banks, there's no personal password to downloading these portfolios and there are only a relatively small number of ETF issuers; many would benefit from having a unified source of portfolio compositions for ETFs. There are commercial services selling this and it's expensive. I think we could even extend the codebase to update an associated separate git repo with the latest values for a broad spectrum of these portfolios so that others wouldn't even have to run webdriver themselves (instead of running a database, just using files with a simple API to obtain the data in a common way across all issuers). Right now it downloads the portfolio files to a local cache; I should have had it write to a git repo instead.
Not something I personally need right now, but FWIW I do agree with your analysis. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Beancount" group.
