So, related to the topic at hand, if I use Ponto, can I connect Gnucash to it then so it fetches all information automatically?

Probably, yes :) But you'd have to find/build the integration.
Haha, anything is possible if I build it myself!

So the answer is a clear no then, please be up front about it instead :)

I was merely responding to the parent comment saying that you need a license, which is not the case with this API.
Sure, that I understand, I'm just saying that you failed to actually reply to me (or your reply was ambiguous at best)

The topic is GnuCash, parent said "The biggest problem with it as far as I can tell is the requirement for manual entry" whereas someone replied "To use these APIs in Europe you need a license" and you said "There's Ponto", and I asked you if I can use Ponto to connect to GnuCash.

I think it's understandable to think that if someone is suggesting Ponto (in a submission about GnuCash), then you should reasonably be able to use Ponto to connect to GnuCash, since that's the entire point of this submission. Otherwise your comment just reads as trying to shoehorn in your own product wherever it's only slightly related to the topic at hand.
