• Would you like to implement this feature?

Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

I have some python scripts that imported transactions into YNAB and I wanted to update them to use the Actual API.

The API documentation doesn't really tell me anything about any API, just how to use your javascript library.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

It's great that you offer a javascript library but I would like a REST API.

Teaching and learning

Alternatively you could offer libraries in other programming languages but a normal API would be most useful IMO.

and as an FYI, there is a community built rest api if you want to use that. There is a link to it in the community section of the docs
