I'm currently working on a script to automatically download transactions. Currently it generates qif files for import. However I would like to have more direct plumbing with Gnucash instead of manually importing qif files. It would be good if transactions were downloaded in the background at scheduled times (even if Gnucash is not running). Also the user should be able to request transactions be downloaded from within Gnucash. If transactions are downloaded and Gnucash is not running then when it is started next the transactions are imported automatically. If transactions are downloaded (either scheduled or user request) and Gnucash is running then Gnucash imports them immediately. Perhaps what is needed is a module similar to the Quotes module for online banking? Or does something like this already exist? This module could then (based on the account) interface to the appropriate external program to perform online banking actions.
