This is a tool to import from You Need A Budget (YNAB) into Firefly III. It works by using your YNAB API token and a Firefly III personal access token to access your Firefly III installation's API.

If you have questions or comments, please open a ticket in the main Firefly III repository.

Use this tool to (automatically) import your YNAB transactions into Firefly III. If you're a bit of a developer, feel free to use this code to generate your own import tool.

• This tool will let you download or generate a configuration file, so the next import will go faster.

Anybody who uses Firefly III and wants to automatically import YNAB transactions.

You can use this tool in several ways.
