Deprecated - please switch to the official SDK

This is deprecated as Kontist is now providing an official SDK, please see https://kontist.dev and https://github.com/kontist/sdk

IKontist

This repository is not an official repository of the Kontist GmbH. It connects to a currently undocumented REST API.

What does it do?

We provide

1. a command line tool and
2. a JavaScript API.

Currently it can fetch transactions, transfers, statements and can create and confirm new transfers.

Please note that this project is in a early stage and support is welcome.

How to use the CLI

Prerequisites

• node and npm installed
• Install with npm install @netnexus/ikontist
• Add your Kontist username and password either to ENVs called KONTIST_USER and KONTIST_PASSWORD or a .env file (just rename .env-template to .env and replace the credentials).

Examples

node cli.js transaction list json

will return

[
    {
        "amount": 100,
        "bookingDate": "2016-12-16T00:00:00.000Z",
        "bookingType": "SEPA_CREDIT_TRANSFER",
        "category": null,
        "e2eId": "NOTPROVIDED",
        "foreignCurrency": null,
        "from": null,
        "iban": "DEXXXXX",
        "id": 4711,
        "name": "Foo, Bar",
        "originalAmount": null,
        "pendingFrom": null,
        "purpose": "Fancy Friday, Baby",
        "to": 3214,
        "type": null,
        "valutaDate": "2016-12-16T00:00:00.000Z",
        "paymentMethod": "bank_account"
    }
]

node cli.js transaction list qif

will return

!Type:Bank
D8/2/2017
T8199
PExample GmbH
MRNr. ABC
^
D8/2/2017
T2142
PExample
Mdescription
^

So an easy way to create a qif export would be:

node cli.js transaction list qif > my-account.qif

To start a transfer you can use transfer init and transfer confirm:

# init transfer of 1€ to John Doe
node cli.js transfer init "John Doe" DE89370400440532013000 100 "test description"

# wait for sms with token (e.g. 252899)
node cli.js transfer confirm 252899

On macOS you can even use the --auto option with init to poll iMessages for the tan and automatically confirm the transfer:

# install peer dependency
npm i osa-imessage

# init and auto confirm transfer of 1€ to John Doe
node cli.js transfer init "John Doe" DE89370400440532013000 100 "test description" --auto

See more commands with

node cli.js --help

How to use the API

After instantiation of the class you need to login with your Kontist username and password, e.g.

const ikontist = require("kontist-client");
const client = new ikontist.KontistClient();
client.login(process.env.KONTIST_USER, process.env.KONTIST_PASSWORD).then(function() {
    // do further calls to kontist here
})

Of course you can use import instead of require:

import { KontistClient } from "@netnexus/ikontist";
const client = new KontistClient();

Please have a look at the kontist-client.js. Currently it provides methods for the following endpoints:

client.login(email, password)
client.getUser()
client.getAccounts()
client.getTransactions(accountId, limit)
client.getFutureTransactions(accountId, limit)
client.getTransfers(accountId, limit)
client.initiateTransfer(accountId, recipient, iban, amount, note)
client.confirmTransfer(accountId, transferId, authorizationToken, recipient, iban, amount, note)
client.getStatement(accountId, year, month)
client.initiateStandingOrder(...)
client.confirmStandingOrder(...)
client.initCancelStandingOrder(...)
client.getWireTransferSuggestions(...)
