Feature Request: Maybe API

[pronoym99]

Describe the feature

The proposed feature is a Maybe API that allows users and developers to integrate other applications or services with Maybe. This API would enable users to programmatically interact with their financial data, import and export data, and build custom tools or workflows around Maybe's platform. It would also support secure endpoints for CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations on the app data.

Why is this feature important?

1. Enhanced Ecosystem: The API fosters an ecosystem where developers can create plugins, services, or integrations that enhance Maybe's functionality and user experience. Additionally, and more importantly, it will open up avenues for other data providers (Plaid being the only one supported now), and connectors to be written and implemented quickly.
2. User Empowerment: This feature enables users to connect their preferred tools and services with Maybe, making the platform more versatile for personalised financial management.

Here are some possible API Routes assuming RESTful API endpoints. Although to provide a more flexible interface, I would suggest Graphql.

1. Authentication and Authorisation

• POST /api/v1/auth/login: Authenticate a user.
• POST /api/v1/auth/token: Generate API tokens for secure access.

2. User Financial Data

• GET /api/v1/transactions: Fetch all financial transactions.
• POST /api/v1/transactions: Add a new transaction.
• PUT /api/v1/transactions/{id}: Update an existing transaction.
• DELETE /api/v1/transactions/{id}: Delete a specific transaction.

3. Budgeting and Analytics

• GET /api/v1/budgets: Retrieve user budget information.
• POST /api/v1/budgets: Create or update a budget.
