Splitwise to CSV export script. Useful for (plaintext) accounting

splitwise-csv

A small script to export Splitwise transaction as CSV so that they can easily be imported into a (plaintext) accounting system like ledger-cli or hledger. Splitwise already provides a CSV export but only for individual groups and not for all recent transactions.

Usage

• Ensure you have curl and jq installed.
• Register an OAuth application with Splitwise here. After that, the page allows you to generate an API key that works as Bearer token.
• Get your Splitwise user id. One way to get this is to call the Splitwise API with your newly obtained token:

$ curl -s -H "Authorization: Bearer $SPLITWISE_KEY" https://secure.splitwise.com/api/v3.0/get_current_user | jq ".user.id"

• Update splitwise.sh to include your key and user id or set the SPLITWISE_USER and SPLITWISE_KEY environment variables.
• Run the script to get the CSV export.

If you use hledger you can use the example.rules files to get some inspiration for your import rules.
