BEAN-PRICE

NAME

bean-price - fetch from the internet commodity prices for Beancount processing

DESCRIPTION

usage: bean-price [-h] [--version] [-e] [-v] [-d DATE] [-i] [-u UNDECLARED]

[-c] [-a] [-s] [-n] [--cache CACHE_FILENAME] [--no-cache] [--clear-cache] sources [sources ...]

Fetch prices from the internet and output them as Beancount price directives.

positional arguments:

sources

A list of filenames (or source "module/symbol", if -e is specified) from which to create a list of jobs.

options:

-h, --help

show this help message and exit

--version, -V

show program’s version number and exit

-e, --expressions, --expression

Interpret the arguments as "module/symbol" source strings.

-v, --verbose

Print out progress log. Specify twice for debugging info.

-d DATE, --date DATE

Specify the date for which to fetch the prices.

-i, --inactive

Select all commodities from input files, not just the ones active on the date

-u UNDECLARED, --undeclared UNDECLARED

Include commodities viewed in the file even without a corresponding Commodity directive, from this default source. The currency name itself is used as the lookup symbol in this default source.

-c, --clobber

Do not skip prices which are already present in input files; fetch them anyway.

-a, --all

A shorthand for --inactive, --undeclared, --clobber.

-s, --swap-inverted

For inverted sources, swap currencies instead of inverting the rate. For example, if fetching the rate for CAD from ’USD:google/ˆCURRENCY:USDCAD’ results in 1.25, by default we would output "price CAD 0.8000 USD". Using this option we would instead output " price USD 1.2500 CAD".

-n, --dry-run

Don’t actually fetch the prices, just print the list of the ones to be fetched.

cache:

--cache CACHE_FILENAME

Enable the cache and with the given cache name.

--no-cache

Disable the price cache.

--clear-cache

Clear the cache prior to startup
