FWIW, I feel like I've implemented less than a third of the ideas I've had for reporting, just ran out of time and energy. It's an area where there could be a lot of fun new outputs.
About an API, I've started to sketch a simplified API in the master branch, so that all the symbols hang off of a "beancount as bn" imprt. https://github.com/beancount/beancount/blob/master/beancount/api.py It's not much of a change, but ultimately the goal would be to make script writing more prominent and more commonly used.
