New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

Actual Budget API

Official Node.js API for Actual Budget. Runs headless โ€” works on local budget data synced from your server.

Installation

npm install @actual-app/api

Environment Variables

VariableRequiredDescriptionACTUAL_SERVER_URLYesServer URL (e.g., https://actual.example.com)ACTUAL_PASSWORDYesServer passwordACTUAL_SYNC_IDYesBudget Sync ID (Settings โ†’ Advanced โ†’ Sync ID)ACTUAL_DATA_DIRNoLocal cache directory for budget data (defaults to cwd)ACTUAL_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORDNoE2E encryption password, if enabledNODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTSNoPath to CA certificate file for self-signed certs

Self-Signed Certificates

If your Actual Budget server uses a self-signed certificate: Recommended: Add your CA to the system trust store, or Alternative: Set NODE_EXTRA_CA_CERTS=/path/to/your-ca.pem to trust your specific CA Avoid disabling TLS verification entirely โ€” it exposes you to man-in-the-middle attacks.

Quick Start

const api = require('@actual-app/api'); await api.init({ dataDir: process.env.ACTUAL_DATA_DIR || '/tmp/actual-cache', serverURL: process.env.ACTUAL_SERVER_URL, password: process.env.ACTUAL_PASSWORD, }); await api.downloadBudget( process.env.ACTUAL_SYNC_ID, process.env.ACTUAL_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD ? { password: process.env.ACTUAL_ENCRYPTION_PASSWORD } : undefined ); // ... do work ... await api.shutdown();

Core Concepts

Amounts are integers in cents: $50.00 = 5000, -1200 = expense of $12.00 Dates use YYYY-MM-DD, months use YYYY-MM IDs are UUIDs โ€” use getIDByName(type, name) to look up by name Convert with api.utils.amountToInteger(123.45) โ†’ 12345

Get Budget Overview

const months = await api.getBudgetMonths(); // ['2026-01', '2026-02', ...] const jan = await api.getBudgetMonth('2026-01'); // { categoryGroups, incomeAvailable, ... }

Accounts

const accounts = await api.getAccounts(); const balance = await api.getAccountBalance(accountId); const newId = await api.createAccount({ name: 'Checking', type: 'checking' }, 50000); // $500 initial await api.closeAccount(id, transferToAccountId); // transfer remaining balance

Transactions

// Get transactions for date range const txns = await api.getTransactions(accountId, '2026-01-01', '2026-01-31'); // Import with deduplication + rules (preferred for bank imports) const { added, updated } = await api.importTransactions(accountId, [ { date: '2026-01-15', amount: -2500, payee_name: 'Grocery Store', notes: 'Weekly run' }, { date: '2026-01-16', amount: -1200, payee_name: 'Coffee Shop', imported_id: 'bank-123' }, ]); // Update a transaction await api.updateTransaction(txnId, { category: categoryId, cleared: true });

Categories & Payees

const categories = await api.getCategories(); const groups = await api.getCategoryGroups(); const payees = await api.getPayees(); // Create const catId = await api.createCategory({ name: 'Subscriptions', group_id: groupId }); const payeeId = await api.createPayee({ name: 'Netflix', category: catId });

Budget Amounts

await api.setBudgetAmount('2026-01', categoryId, 30000); // budget $300 await api.setBudgetCarryover('2026-01', categoryId, true);

Rules

const rules = await api.getRules(); await api.createRule({ stage: 'pre', conditionsOp: 'and', conditions: [{ field: 'payee', op: 'is', value: payeeId }], actions: [{ op: 'set', field: 'category', value: categoryId }], });

Schedules

const schedules = await api.getSchedules(); await api.createSchedule({ payee: payeeId, account: accountId, amount: -1500, date: { frequency: 'monthly', start: '2026-01-01', interval: 1, endMode: 'never' }, });

Bank Sync

await api.runBankSync({ accountId }); // GoCardless/SimpleFIN

Sync & Shutdown

await api.sync(); // push/pull changes to server await api.shutdown(); // always call when done

ActualQL Queries

For complex queries, use ActualQL: const { q, runQuery } = require('@actual-app/api'); // Sum expenses by category this month const { data } = await runQuery( q('transactions') .filter({ date: [{ $gte: '2026-01-01' }, { $lte: '2026-01-31' }], amount: { $lt: 0 }, }) .groupBy('category.name') .select(['category.name', { total: { $sum: '$amount' } }]) ); // Search transactions const { data } = await runQuery( q('transactions') .filter({ 'payee.name': { $like: '%grocery%' } }) .select(['date', 'amount', 'payee.name', 'category.name']) .orderBy({ date: 'desc' }) .limit(20) ); Operators: $eq, $lt, $lte, $gt, $gte, $ne, $oneof, $regex, $like, $notlike Splits: .options({ splits: 'inline' | 'grouped' | 'all' })

Helpers

// Look up ID by name const acctId = await api.getIDByName('accounts', 'Checking'); const catId = await api.getIDByName('categories', 'Food'); const payeeId = await api.getIDByName('payees', 'Amazon'); // List budgets const budgets = await api.getBudgets(); // local + remote files

Transfers

Transfers use special payees. Find transfer payee by transfer_acct field: const payees = await api.getPayees(); const transferPayee = payees.find(p => p.transfer_acct === targetAccountId); await api.importTransactions(fromAccountId, [ { date: '2026-01-15', amount: -10000, payee: transferPayee.id } ]);

Split Transactions

await api.importTransactions(accountId, [{ date: '2026-01-15', amount: -5000, payee_name: 'Costco', subtransactions: [ { amount: -3000, category: groceryCatId }, { amount: -2000, category: householdCatId }, ] }]);

Bulk Import (New Budget)

For migrating from another app: await api.runImport('My-New-Budget', async () => { for (const acct of myData.accounts) { const id = await api.createAccount(acct); await api.addTransactions(id, myData.transactions.filter(t => t.acctId === id)); } });
