rnab

This package provide a basic wrapper to the You Need A Budget API.

Pre-requisites

You will need an API token for your need a budget account to use this package.

You can provide your token to each function call as an argument, but it will be simpler to set the YNAB_TOKEN environment variable instead. You can do this from an R session with:

Sys.setenv("YNAB_TOKEN" = "YOUR_YNAB_TOKEN")

Or other approaches, such as using the dotenv package, setting in your .bashrc file, or elsewhere.

Installation

# install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("ejkreboot/rnab")

Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to solve a common problem:

library(rnab)

# get a list of your budgets
budgets <- get_budget_names(YOUR_TOKEN)

# get a summary of your activity month to date for the first budget 
# in YNAB's list of your budgets (which may be the only budget if you 
# only have one.)
this_month <- get_current_month(1, YOUR_TOKEN);
