Hi all,

I'm completely new to beancount, but I want to use it to manage my 
trading/investing activities. I have already written a library to download 
transactions from my broker's API, which returns a list of dicts.

I have looked at the beancount documentation and I can't even seem to get 
started. Many of the example importers given, assume that one has a file 
which they wish to import, which in my particular case is not relevant(?).

Here's the process as I envision it:

   1. Get a given date's transactions from my broker, using the library I 
   made
   2. Implement some logic to classify each transaction (Account:[fees/PnL] 
   etc.)
   3. Append the new transactions as directives in my beancount file

All I am really seeking to know at the moment is how I would even get 
started. Looking at beancount.ingest.importer - it needs a FileMemo 
instance, but in this case I won't be reading from a file - this is where 
most of my confusion is coming from.

Truly grateful for any response received. Thank you so much for producing 
this awesome software!

Sam
