Unfold is an unofficial Fold Money CLI client, which covers the bare minimum API routes to fetch your transactions for a given period and even write them to a sqlite database. It also provides options for running an internal cron job through which this CLI acts as a daemon and fetches transactions every time the cron job's timer is met.

Fold's API is not publically available, I had to MITM their app to write this tool, and so there might be unforeseen consequences for your Fold account if you use this tool.

• You need a Fold Account, which is currently only available on an invite basis
• You need to connect to whichever banks you have using the Fold app first

• Using golang's build system:

  $ go install github.com/wantguns/unfold

Caution: For all I know, Fold has not publically released a client which can support multiple sessions, which means when you use this CLI, you will be automatically logged out on your Phone's app

1. First, login to your account:

   $ unfold login

2. Then you can fetch your transactions:

   a. In plaintext:

   $ unfold transactions

   b. In plaintext and also write to a db:

   # Write to a local file called `db.sqlite` by default
   $ unfold transactions -s 2023-09-20 --db

   c. Create an internal cron job to fetch transactions every 20 seconds and save them to a db:

   # Note: You need to enable the `-d` or `--db` flag to ensure that the changes are written to a database
   $ unfold transactions -s 2023-09-20 --db -w '@every 20s'
   12:19AM INF Cron job set for fetching transactions, going into daemon mode
   12:19AM INF Fetched transactions till 2023-10-17
   12:20AM INF Fetched transactions till 2023-10-17

   d. For a complete glossary of available options:

   $ unfold transactions -h
   Prints the transactions from all of your accounts (default period: 1 month)
   
   Usage:
     unfold transactions [flags]
   
   Flags:
     -d, --db               Save the results in a sqlite db
     -D, --db-path string   Sets path for the database (default "db.sqlite")
     -h, --help             help for transactions
     -s, --since string     fetch transactions since in this format: YYYY-MM-DD (default "XXXX-XX-XX")
     -t, --till string      fetch transactions till in this format: YYYY-MM-DD (default "XXXX-XX-XX")
     -w, --watch string     Set an internal cron job to trigger this command. You can use non-standard cron expressions like '@every 6h'. This will disable plaintext mode, so add a '-d' flag if you want to write to db
   
   Global Flags:
         --config string   config file (default is $HOME/.config/unfold/config.yaml)
     -v, --debug           Enable debug mode
