I'll point you at the API documentation: https://code.gnucash.org/docs/STABLE.
It's not complete, but it might help. You're right that you need the engine,
there's no business logic in the database, not even referential integrity.
You should be aware that GnuCash is still far from clean in separating the GUI
from the computation, so while you'll need to learn the engine you'll also need
to study the rest of the program too. You can ask specific questions about
particular function, but I don't have time to review your code or write more
documentation for you. I can't speak for the other devs on that regard. Maybe
one of them has more time.
Another thing to note: There is *NO* stability guarantee with any part of
GnuCAash. Things you learned last year may change next year.
Regards & Good Luck,
John Ralls
