Hi,
no, I know that it's not a website scraper but in fact I want to program
one ;) And I assume the developer of AqBanking will not just add any set
of api-calls/https-requests for every other bank to his library.
So I was thinking about a generic interface in Gnucash to simplify
things because I also think it would be beneficial for future
development to not depend completely and only on AqBanking like it is
now because it seems that (at least in Europe) the trend is going away
from standards (except HBCI in Germany) towards bank-specific APIs (most
of them are https-requests sent).
Regards,
Paul

Hi,
Yes, the GnuCash AqB backend is tied to AqB. However...
AqBanking is licensed under the GPL, and already has multiple modules
that
implement HBCI, OFX, OFX-DC, MT940, CSV, ...
So, why do you feel that you couldn't add a new module to that?
Do you know what online banking protocol your bank supports? Or do you
have the mistaken impression that it's a website scraper?

Hello!
I was thinking about adding online banking support for a bank which
has
no HBCI (and is not supported by AqBanking). After some time browsing
the source of gnucash and AqBanking I realized that the online banking
functionality of gnucash is tightly coupled to AqBanking which in turn
has a restricted license and it actually doesn't look easy to add
different banks.
Are there plans on a clean online banking API in gnucash which could
enable developers to include different banking protocols? If not I
would
be interested in contributing but I have no idea where to start. Could
somebody maybe give me a hint about this?
My idea would be: the current menu entries for online banking are
fine,
it would just need a general user/account setup which could allow the
current AqBanking accounts as well as other "plugins/modules" which
can
then be triggered as it is working right now with only AqBanking.
I hope I made myself clear and thanks in advance,
Paul
