Hi,

*Heads'up: I am not a develloper. I have written my first line of python 3 
weeks ago for my first beancount. Sorry if my question is stupid*

I am trying to import 10 years of history from one of my asset account (life 
insurance).
Unfortunately the account holder does not provide any usable digital statements 
(neither pdf, csv, ofx...) that i can use.

I have finally decided to learn to use beautifulsoup, and i have built a crude 
script to browse through all the pages of my account and grab the details of 
the 500 operations made over the last 10 years.
Luckily for me, the login system of the bank is quite basic, and i have not met 
any difficulty to build the script.
All the relevant information are now arranged in a huge dict

Now, i need to create the corresponding transaction in beancount.

The typical importer principle is not an ideal fit, as there is no "file" to 
import.

I see now several options:
- Building an importer that will be triggered by a dummy file and then run my 
web parser.
- From my dict, saving the data in a file, and then, build a separate importer.
- Directly create the beancount entries without using the importer process 
flow. (Is there some module from beancount that could help ?)

What would be the canon way to do that ?
