MoneyForward to YNAB migrator

This Ruby script downloads transaction history from Money Forward then uploads it to YNAB.

• Use Ferrum to browse to the Money Forward website, log in and save a session cookie.
• Craft HTTP requests to Money Forward including the session cookie above to retrieve transactions in CSV files.
• Parse the CSV files and convert the data to a format that works with YNAB.
• Use YNAB API Ruby library to post transactions to your YNAB budget.
• Budget and account mappings are set in a configuration file (see config/example.yml).

You'll need Ruby 3.3.0 or above.

# Install gem
gem install mfynab

# Start a config YAML file
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/davidstosik/moneyforward_ynab/main/config/example.yml -O mfynab-david.yml

The script currently looks for credentials in environment variables:

• MONEYFORWARD_USERNAME
• MONEYFORWARD_PASSWORD
• YNAB_ACCESS_TOKEN

You can for example use dotenv to store your secrets in a .env file:

MONEYFORWARD_USERNAME=david@example.com
MONEYFORWARD_PASSWORD=Passw0rd!
YNAB_ACCESS_TOKEN=abunchofcharacters

In addition you can use something like 1Password's CLI to avoid storing clear secrets:

OP_COMMAND="op --account={1Password account id} item get --format=json --vault=Private"
MONEYFORWARD_USERNAME=$(eval $OP_COMMAND --fields=username Moneyforward | jq -r .value)
MONEYFORWARD_PASSWORD=$(eval $OP_COMMAND --fields=password Moneyforward | jq -r .value)
YNAB_ACCESS_TOKEN=    $(eval $OP_COMMAND --fields="'API token'" YNAB    | jq -r .value)

To run, you'll simply need to set the environment variables. Using dotenv, that'll look like this:

dotenv mfynab_david mfynab mfynab-david.yml

After checking out the repo, run bundle install to install dependencies. Then, run bin/rake test to run the tests.

• Force MoneyForward to sync all accounts before downloading data. (Can take a while.)
• Use Thor to manage the CLI. (And/or TTY?)
• Implement Transaction model to extract some logic from existing classes.
• Handle the Amazon account differently (use account name as payee instead of content?)
• Implement CLI to setup config.
  • Save/update session_id so browser is only needed once.
• Generate new configuration file with the command line.
• Make reusable fixtures instead of setting up every test
• Improve secrets handling:
  • Store config/credentials in ~/.config/?
  • Encrypt config, use Keyring or other OS-level secure storage?
    • Possible to write a gem with native extension based on https://github.com/hrantzsch/keychain? (or https://github.com/hwchen/keyring-rs?)
  • Open browser, ask user to log into MoneyForward and store cookie? (Does it expire though?)
    • Or prompt user from credentials in terminal and fill in form in headless browser
    • Need to handle case when cookie has expired:
