• What are your API creations?

Hi guys,

We would love to hear about the creations you've made with our Public API!

If you are a developer who's been using the API, please share your experiences in this post. I'm looking to collect the coolest and most creative constructions for an upcoming blogpost.

Thanks! 😄

List of finished projects:

  • bunq accountancy connects with various partners: https://www.bunq.com/en/experience/easy-bookkeeping
    proof of concept payment page using bunq.me functionality
  • MacOS app support in MoneyMoney
  • Automated exports every first of the month
  • Automated payments towards accounts when money is received
  • Pinsparen
  • Many different wrappers!

List of ongoing projects:
Checking into Swarm on card payments
Retrieval of account balances for google spreadsheets

    Currently building an iPhone app that checks you into Swarm (Foursquare) when you make a card payment at shop. #allthingsautomated :D

      Off-topic, but how would users be able to use this? They have to create an API key, and enter into the app? Or do they have to set up a 'Connect' with the app developers bunq account (your account) to be able for you to read the transactions?

        Well that's a different issue :P

        For now I'm only building that for myself because I'm not expecting (and actually don't want) people to enter API key in random single purpose apps. Will put the code on github as soon as I finished it so if you are an iOS developer with some node.js knowledge you could be able to use it.

        As I don't want to have my accounts cluttered with other peoples accounts the 'connect' way is not really an option for me right now.

          As a test/proof-of-concept i created a payment page, based on the "Payment request" (bunq.me) functionality.

          It shows the bunq QR-code, so people can pay with the bunq app. And it also can generate a iDEAL payment link.

          Used API endpoints:

          https://api.bunq.com/user/{user}/monetary-account/{account}/request-inquiry

          https://api.bunq.me/v1/bunqme-request/{bunqmeGuid}/bunqme-reassign-request-token

          https://api.bunq.me/v1/bunqme-request/{bunqmeGuid}/bunqme-reassign-request-token/{token}

          https://api.bunq.me/v1/bunqme-merchant-request

          https://api.bunq.me/v1/bunqme-merchant-request/{uuid}

            Dat ziet er echt super uit!👍

              Wow, guys, this is amazing stuff! It's great to see you're all having fun with it. ✌


              Are there more of you with creations? I'm still very curious to hear more.

                Hi Bastiaan, ik heb exact deze functionaliteit nodig. Heb je hiervoor een SDK gebruikt?

                En sta je er voor open de code te delen?


                Bedankt,


                Bo

                  Hallo Bo. Ik zal het binnenkort op GitHub zetten.

                  Heb enkel PHP, jQuery en HTML gebruikt :-)

                    Ah gaaf Bastiaan, bedankt alvast!

                      Ik heb de sourcecode op GitHub gezet: https://github.com/basst85/bunq_pay

                      Er kan nog veel verbeterd worden, dus Pull Requests zijn welkom :-)

                        MoneyMoney is a banking app for macOS that supports multiple banks: https://moneymoney-app.com/

                        Now it supports bunq as well.

                        A pre-release version with support for the bunq API is available for customers of MoneyMoney on request.

                          Nice, guys.


                          Anyone else feel like sharing their API experiences?

                            Currently working on a Python script that retrieves all account balances and stores them in a Google Spreadsheet. Will run daily so that I get a nice overview of how my balances change over time. Goal is to automate the process as much as possible which means creating new spreadsheets for each Month and creating graphs in them programmatically. Will post the code on GitHub someday.

                              Hey Peter,


                              That sounds pretty amazing. Are you doing this in order to keep an eye on your spending behavior?

                                Tried this just now. Works great, though the API pricing may be a downpoint for consumers.

                                  im doing something similar maybe we can team up and make something great ?

                                  the post is in dutch tho :D


                                  https://together.bunq.com/topic/tips-voor-mijn-python-project

                                    Exactly. And simply to have enough data to do some data mining on it in order to be able to answer questions like:

                                    On which days do I spent most.

                                    Do I spend more on the weekends on average than during the week.

                                    How much money is left per month on average.

                                    How much do I spent on food per week.

                                    How much do I spent on bought food (e.g. From Thuisbezorgd) vs self made food.

                                      Hey Kevin, just read your post. Looks nice! I'll first get going with my own script and Maddies Python API Wrapper. If you'd put your script on GitHub and link it here I could have a look and eventually add my functionality to it, if you want. Truly in the spirit of open source :-)
