Package ofxgo seeks to provide a library to make it easier to query and/or
|
|
parse financial information with OFX from the comfort of Golang, without having
|
|
to deal with marshalling/unmarshalling the SGML or XML. The library does *not*
|
|
intend to abstract away all of the details of the OFX specification, which
|
|
would be difficult to do well. Instead, it exposes the OFX SGML/XML hierarchy
|
|
as structs which mostly resemble it. For more information on OFX and to read
|
|
the specification, see http://ofx.net.
|
|
|
|
There are three main top-level objects defined in ofxgo. These are Client,
|
|
Request, and Response. The Request and Response objects represent OFX requests
|
|
and responses as Golang structs. Client contains settings which control how
|
|
requests and responses are marshalled and unmarshalled (the OFX version used,
|
|
client id and version, whether to indent SGML/XML elements, etc.), and provides
|
|
helper methods for making requests and optionally parsing the response using
|
|
those settings.
|
|
|
|
Every Request object contains a SignonRequest element, called Signon. This
|
|
element contains the username, password (or key), and the ORG and FID fields
|
|
particular to the financial institution being queried, and an optional ClientUID
|
|
field (required by some FIs). Likewise, each Response contains a SignonResponse
|
|
object which contains, among other things, the Status of the request. Any status
|
|
with a nonzero Code should be inspected for a possible error (using the Severity
|
|
and Message fields populated by the server, or the CodeMeaning() and
|
|
CodeConditions() functions which return information about a particular code as
|
|
specified by the OFX specification).
|
|
|
|
Each top-level Request or Response object may contain zero or more messages,
|
|
sorted into named slices by message set, just as the OFX specification groups
|
|
them. Here are the supported types of Request/Response objects (along with the
|
|
name of the slice of Messages they belong to in parentheses):
|
|
|
|
Requests:
|
|
var r AcctInfoRequest // (Signup) Request a list of the valid accounts
|
|
// for this user
|
|
var r CCStatementRequest // (CreditCard) Request the balance (and optionally
|
|
// list of transactions) for a credit card
|
|
var r StatementRequest // (Bank) Request the balance (and optionally list
|
|
// of transactions) for a bank account
|
|
var r InvStatementRequest // (InvStmt) Request balance, transactions,
|
|
// existing positions, and/or open orders for an
|
|
// investment account
|
|
var r SecListRequest // (SecList) Request securities details and prices
|
|
var r ProfileRequest // (Prof) Request the server's capabilities (which
|
|
// messages sets it supports, along with features)
|
|
|
|
Responses:
|
|
var r AcctInfoResponse // (Signup) List of the valid accounts for this
|
|
// user
|
|
var r CCStatementResponse // (CreditCard) The balance (and optionally list of
|
|
// transactions) for a credit card
|
|
var r StatementResponse // (Bank): The balance (and optionally list of
|
|
// transactions) for a bank account
|
|
var r InvStatementResponse // (InvStmt) The balance, transactions, existing
|
|
// positions, and/or open orders for an
|
|
// investment account
|
|
var r SecListResponse // (SecList) Returned as a result of
|
|
// SecListRequest, but only contains request
|
|
// status
|
|
var r SecurityList // (SecList) The actual list of securities, prices,
|
|
// etc. (sent as a result of SecListRequest or
|
|
// InvStatementRequest)
|
|
var r ProfileResponse // (Prof) Describes the server's capabilities
|
|
|
|
When constructing a Request, simply append the desired message to the message
|
|
set it belongs to. For Responses, it is the user's responsibility to make type
|
|
assertions on objects found inside one of these message sets before using them.
