Project is work in progress.

Command Line Interface (CLI) Tool for using the Kontist API which under the hood relies on their marvelous GraphQL API [Kontist Javascript SDK](https://kontist.dev/sdk/ #using-the-sdk)

Overview

• login and use multiple account(s)
• show status & current balance
• list & filter transaction(s)
• subscribe to incoming transactions
• create transfer
• list, show, block, unblock card(s)

See list of "ideas" for upcoming features …

Install

npm install kontist-cli

NPX

npx kontist-cli

Setup

Obtain valid client id for authentication. Request your client id in the API Client Management on https://kontist.dev/client-management/.

Create Access- & Refresh Token (valid for 1year) and store in system user preferences (using nconf package):

kontist-cli login <oauth-client-id> <username>

You’ll be promted for the password. There’s also the ability to setup multiple accounts.

Examples

The command-line-tool does not include any table formater or filtering mechanism as there are other nice tools for that like table-printer-cli for formatting JSON output to a nice-looking table and jq for transforming and filtering JSON.

Transactions

Both tools in combination can be used to create a nice-looking, customizable list of transactions:

kontist-cli transactions | jq -c 'map({bookingDate,valutaDate,amount,name,iban})' | npx table-printer-cli -s

List transactions between two dates:

kontist-cli transactions --from 2022-02-01 --to 2022-02-28

Transfer

Create a standing order that repeats every month

kontist-cli transfer 3000 GB33BUKB20201555555555 "Hulk Hogan" "Wrestling Club Membership fee" \
    --note "created after entering the wrestling club" \
    --repeat MONTHLY \
    --last 2022-12-31

Wait until you receive the confirmation code and enter it when prompted. You’ll also get a confirmation before the transaction is made.

Locale

Some commands rely on the systems LC_ALL, LC_TIME, or LC_NUMERIC variables to format monetary values or provide additional formatted dates. The balance sub-command:

$ LC_ALL=de-de kontist-cli balance
50,20 €

Output

All comands print out JSON to make it easy to filter and process the output using jq and other tools like [ctp(table-printer-cli)

Ideas

• [x] balance (kontist-cli balance, returns availableBalance)
  • [x] get current balance
  • [ ] different output when availableBalance doesn’t match balance
  • [ ] add notification when card fraud is on
• [x] option to permanently set different LC_ALL
• [x] status command returns current overall status (kontist-cli account)
• [x] validate IBAN (checksum)
• [x] prevent invalid characters in purpose, e2eid
• [ ] add multiple output formats
  • [ ] --pretty as table
  • [ ] --json as json (default)
  • [ ] --plain as tsv (easy for additional processing with xargs)
• [x] multi-account
  • [x] add account (name defaults to "default")

    kontist-cli account login --account myalias <client-id> <username>

  • [x] add account with named alias

    kontist-cli account login --name myAlias <client-id> <username>

  • [x] list accounts kontist-cli accounts list
  • [x] remove account with alias kontist-cli account delete <alias>
  • [x] use specific account

    kontist-cli transfer create --account accountName <iban> <recipient> <amount>

• [ ] cards
  • [x] list kontist-cli cards list
    • [ ] including card settings
    • [ ] including card limits
  • [x] get specific card kontist-cli cards <id>
  • [x] block kontist-cli cards block <id> (changeCardStatus)
  • [x] unblock kontist-cli cards unblock <id> (changeCardStatus)
  • [ ] replace kontist-cli cards replace <id> (replaceCard)
  • [ ] reorder kontist-cli cards reorder <id> (reorderCard)
  • [ ] update card settings / limits
• [ ] invoice
  • [ ] list
  • [ ] update invoice
    • [ ] add product
    • [ ] remove product
  • [ ] create invoice
  • [ ] delete invoice
• [x] money format?
• [x] currency?
• [ ] transfers
  • [ ] make it easier to repeat transactions
    • [ ] proposal: re-use transactions by id
    • [ ] proposal: auto-completion for kontist-cli transfer arguments
    • [ ] proposal: address-book like presets?
  • [x] list
  • [ ] cancel (mutation cancelTransfer & confirmCancelTransfer)

    kontist-cli transfer cancel <id>

  • [x] create
    • [x] enable IBAN with spacing
    • [x] convert umlauts to eu, ß to ss
    • [x] normal order

      kontist-cli transfer create [amount] [iban] [recipient] [purpose] \     --executeAt <executionDate>

    • [x] confirmation mfa
    • [x] timed order

      kontist-cli transfer create [amount] [iban] [recipient] [purpose] \
          --at <executionDate>

    • [x] standing order with additional StandingOrderReoccurenceType

      kontist-cli transfer create [amount] [iban] [recipient] [purpose] \
          --executeAt <executionDate>` \
          --last <optionalDate> \
          --repeat <reoccurenceType>;

  • [ ] update
    • [ ] update standing order
    • [ ] categorize transaction (TransactionCategory)
• [ ] transactions
  • [x] list
    • [x] limit transactions
    • [x] search transactions
    • [ ] paginate transactions
    • [ ] filter transactions
      • [x] by iban(s)
      • [x] short filter for incoming / outgoing

        kontist-cli transactions list --outgoing
        kontist-cli transactions list --incoming

      • [x] by date-range

        kontist-cli transactions list --from 2021-01-01 --to 2021-02-32

      • [ ] by date-range names

        kontist-cli transactions list this-month;
        kontist-cli transactions list last-month;
        kontist-cli transactions list this-year;
        kontist-cli transactions list today;
        kontist-cli transactions list yesterday;

  • [x] listen for new transactions (https://kontist.dev/sdk/#subscribe-to-new-transactions)
• [ ] cli auto-completion
• [ ] cli tui interface
  • [ ] list transactions
  • [ ] show details of transaction
  • [ ] new transaction
• [ ] maintenance tasks
  • [ ] publish on NPM
  • [x] use version from package.json
  • [ ] setup semantic release
  • [ ] setup discussions
