  • Productivity
Firefly III" is a (self-hosted) manager for your personal finances. It can help you keep track of your expenses and income, so you can spend less and save more. The data importer is built to help you import transactions into Firefly III. It is separated from Firefly III for security and maintenance reasons. The data importer can import CSV files you've downloaded from your bank, or it can use Nordigen and SaltEdge to connect to over 6000 banks worldwide. These services are free for Firefly III users, but require registration. Keep in mind these services have their own privacy and data usage policies. You can run the data importer once, for a bulk import. You can also run it regularly to keep up with new transactions.

First-install notes

  • Set Firefly credentials before running Set the FIREFLY_SERVICES_CLIENT_ID and FIREFLY_SERVICES_CLIENT_SECRET environment variables (the saved settings that hold your Adobe Firefly API key and secret) before you start. If they are missing, the app can’t sign in to Adobe’s Firefly API, so requests are rejected and nothing gets imported or generated. source

Common questions

Does the Firefly III Data Importer connect directly to banks?

No. It uses third-party data providers to fetch bank data. Some providers are free, while others charge money.

Can I import bank statements without using a third-party provider?

Yes. You can import CSV, CAMT.052, or CAMT.053 files. It can run once for a bulk import or regularly for new transactions.

How can I automate recurring imports?

The Data Importer can be run over the command line. You can also import through an API for easy automation.

What should I check if a CSV import does not produce visible transactions?

Check the import configuration and the Firefly III versions. If it still fails, report the issue with sample data and version details.
