The following features can be invoked by calling the showURL method of the extension context from within Moneydance:
For commands that use query parameters, parameter values should be UTF-8 URL-encoded. In particular, reserved URI characters such as &, ?, #, %, and + should be encoded when they are part of a parameter value rather than acting as URI syntax. For example, category=Food & Drink should be encoded as category=Food%20%26%20Drink.
Timing: Most commands that open a window (for example showreport, showprefs, importfile) wait until the Moneydance window is ready and are then queued on the GUI thread, so showURL() returns before they have run. setstatus, remindershome, netsync, exit and fmodule: run straight away on the calling thread; netsync does not return until the download has run, so do not call it from the GUI thread.
Attempts to open the URL in the system's default browser.
Calls the extension's invoke(String restOfURI) method on the extension with ID <extensionid>. The rest of the URI is passed to the invoke method (these are parameters / commands for the extension to handle).
Displays some text and an optional progress bar in the Moneydance status field. Parameters: label: the text to display in the status bar. meter: a floating point number between 0 and 1 if a progress bar should be shown.
Sets the text message to display in the Moneydance status field. The status message will disappear after a short time.

Import the file identified by the file parameter. The path is URL-decoded, so encode it (for example with URLUtil.getMoneydanceURL()).
Import the file identified by the path following moneydance:importfile: (this command does not use a ?file= type parameter). The path is used exactly as given and is not URL-decoded. Otherwise this does the same as importprompt.

Show the specified object by reference to its internal UUID (use context menu's 'Show Raw Details' to view the ID).
This can also be used to show a memorized graph / report by passing the UUID of the memorized report/graph (use side bar's context menu to find the ID).
Example: moneydance:showobj?id=12345678-abcd-1234-abcd-1234567890ab
Display the edit window for the specified object by reference to its internal UUID (use context menu's 'Show Raw Details' to view the ID).
Can be used - for example - to display the edit window for account, currency, and security objects
Example: moneydance:editobj?id=12345678-abcd-1234-abcd-1234567890ab
Show the specified transaction by reference to its internal ID (usually its UUID) or legacy ID

<params> vary depending upon the type of report, but they can be discovered by memorizing a graph / report, then using the context menu on the side bar, selecting 'Show Raw Details'.
Parameters are optional. Missing parameters will default as defined by the specific graph/report.
Example: moneydance:showreport:networthrpt?as_of=06%2F02%2F2026 would show the net worth report as of 2nd June 2026 (the remaining net worth report defaults would apply - e.g. use base currency, and select all accounts).
Date parameters use a fixed m/d/y (month/day/year) format. For example, 06/02/2026 would represent 2 June 2026.
A specific memorized graph/report can also be displayed using moneydance:showobj?id=<UUID>.
Display the memorized graph or report with the specified saved name. The name specified must match exactly.

When constructing Moneydance URIs programmatically, consider using URLUtil#getMoneydanceURL(), which automatically performs UTF-8 URL encoding of parameter names and values.
from com.moneydance.apps.md.controller import URLUtil
from java.util import Map
url = URLUtil.getMoneydanceURL("importprompt", Map.of("file", "/tmp/Food & Drink.qif"))
result: moneydance:importprompt?file=%2Ftmp%2FFood+%26+Drink.qif
