Yeah, so beanhub-import is somewhat similar to other importers, but one major difference is that it will parse existing Beancount files and manipulate them directly. It's taking a more data pipeline approach compared to other importers:
[image: BeanHub import flow diagram] Personally, I like a declarative approach more because if I ever want to change the inserted transactions, I can modify the rule and rerun the import command. I recommend checking out the demo repository and try it out here: https://github.com/LaunchPlatform/beanhub-import-demo I have prepared some mock data and sample rules in the repository already. You should be able to change the import rules, rerun import, and run git diff to see the difference you made with the changes.
