Import Qif

POST
/import/qif
curl --request POST \
  --url https://example.com/import/qif \
  --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  --data '{ "account_map": { "additionalProperty": "example" }, "account_options": {}, "category_map": {}, "content": "example", "date_format": "mdy" }'

Run the import through the same content-hash dedup pipeline as the feed — re-running the same request is a no-op; transfers link, never double; rows inside a per-account cutoff are left to the feed.

Account Map

QIF account name -> Purser account id or path. An investment account (one with a !Type:Invst section, or declared Invst/Port/401(k)/403(b)/Mutual) may be omitted: it is then left out, and bank-side transfers into it import as one-leg rows. Its investment records are counted skipped_investment either way.

ImportCounts

Per-file-account disposition of rows (DESIGN §7.2). The preview counts for a request equal the commit’s per-account results for the same request. in_file is the sum of the other buckets, uncleared excepted; skipped_scheduled counts Quicken reminder rows (not history, never imported); skipped_investment counts QIF !Type:Invst records (investment actions, never bank rows; decision 84); promoted counts rows that posted an expected row an earlier import left, because the file now marks them cleared (per leg for a transfer); uncleared is the subset of the created rows that land expected because the file marks them uncleared (decision 60). split_transfers (QIF S[Account] lines carved out of split rows as transfers) and split_remainders (split rows whose lines left part of the amount unexplained, booked to the uncategorized placeholder) are sub-counts too (decision 87).
