}Push transactions into a manual bank account (write scope)
Import transactions into a manual bank institution previously created with POST /bank-accounts — the no-Plaid path for bringing your own bank feed. Rows land in the same pipeline Plaid-synced transactions use; Cherry categorizes and books them asynchronously (they appear uncategorized at first and are filed by the next sync sweep).
Sign convention (Plaid): a POSITIVE amount means money LEFT the account (an expense/outflow); a NEGATIVE amount means money came in. Negate first if your export uses the opposite sign.
Idempotency: each row’s identity is the optional client id (reuse it across pushes for clean dedup) or, when omitted, a hash of date + amount + description. Re-posting the same payload updates rows in place instead of duplicating; duplicates within one payload are collapsed and counted in deduplicated. Requires the write scope. Body limit: 5 MB.
