Manager Desktop uses a random port each time it runs. To find out which port the application is using, you can open the Developer Tools (from the menu: View → Toggle Developer Tools). Then, in the Developer Tools, enable the Sources tab — there you can see the URL and port where Manager is running.

Is there any reason you require port to be static?

@lubos: Speaking for myself, although it is not a big issue: Yes, there is a reason.

I am using the api to enter transactions from my bank CSV download, including transfers. This is done with a Python script using api2. It needs the port number. Until a few days ago I used 55667, and that worked fine. Now I have to go through the motions to find the current port number, change it in the code, and then run the program.

As I said, not a showstopper, but since you’re asking, that’s why.

You can make your Python script launch server edition in desktop mode with specific port. This is what desktop edition itself is doing. You will find ManagerServer binary within desktop edition installation folder.

Then run this:

ManagerServer --urls=http://127.0.0.1:55667 --edition=desktop
