.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.PP
|
|
hledger is a cross\-platform program for tracking money, time, or any
|
|
other commodity, using double\-entry accounting and a simple, editable
|
|
file format.
|
|
hledger is inspired by and largely compatible with ledger(1).
|
|
.PP
|
|
hledger\-api is a simple web API server, intended to support
|
|
client\-side web apps operating on hledger data.
|
|
It comes with a series of simple client\-side app examples, which drive
|
|
it\[aq]s evolution.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Like hledger, it reads data from one or more files in hledger journal,
|
|
timeclock, timedot, or CSV format specified with \f[C]\-f\f[], or
|
|
\f[C]$LEDGER_FILE\f[], or \f[C]$HOME/.hledger.journal\f[] (on windows,
|
|
perhaps \f[C]C:/Users/USER/.hledger.journal\f[]).
|
|
For more about this see hledger(1), hledger_journal(5) etc.
|
|
.PP
|
|
The server listens on port 8001, or another specified with
|
|
\f[C]\-p\ PORT\f[].
|
|
Note there is no built\-in access control, so you will need to hide
|
|
hledger\-api behind an authenticating proxy if you want to restrict
|
|
access.
|
|
.PP
|
|
If invoked as \f[C]hledger\-api\ \-\-swagger\f[], instead of starting a
|
|
server the API docs will be printed in Swagger 2.0 format.
|
|

is awkward.
