Hi Guys,

I've started up a project to create a web-interface for GnuCash.  Been 
tinkering with it for a while now.


I was hoping to be able to reach out to the developers to ask for some 
help with regards to getting connected to gnucash via the libgnucash 
engine.


I have been somewhat successful getting the engine open, but it feels 
like I'm just swimming upstream, guessing about the api calls.

The demo I have running is just making direct sql calls, but I really 
want the engine.


I know it's a tall request to coldly ask for developer support this 
way, but I'm asking none-the-less.  I just need a little nudge to get 
over this api hump and I'll be trucking on my way!!!


Thank you in advance


I'll point you at the API documentation: 
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/STABLE 
. It's not complete, but it might 
help. You're right that you need the engine, there's no business logic 
in the database, not even referential integrity.


You should be aware that GnuCash is still far from clean in separating 
the GUI from the computation, so while you'll need to learn the engine 
you'll also need to study the rest of the program too. You can ask 
specific questions about particular function, but I don't have time to 
review your code or write more documentation for you. I can't speak for 
the other devs on that regard. Maybe one of them has more time.


Another thing to note: There is *NO* stability guarantee with any part 
of GnuCAash. Things you learned last year may change next year.


Regards & Good Luck,
John Ralls
