Is there an interface documentation for the ledger canister (with its canister ID and stuff)? Also, do I need the .did file for the ledger canister in by .dfx directory, or do I just need to send messages to the canister itself?

You can find its canister id and explore the interface here if it helps:
Canlista: nns-ledger/ryjl3-tyaaa-aaaaa-aaaba-cai
To copy the .did click “view .did file” there, you don’t need this to call the canister, but it can be used by tools like didc to decode the responses.
A forwarding canister for the protobuf interface is here too: Canlista: ledger-candid and ic.rocks also has the protobuf endpoints: Principal ryjl3-tyaaa-aaaaa-aaaba-cai | ic.rocks
Re docs I think only those for getting started with the Rosetta api are up at the moment:
https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/integration/ledger-quick-start.html#_ledger_canister_overview
If you’re just looking to interact with the ledger from dfx there is a dfx ledger command, which is well documented here: https://sdk.dfinity.org/docs/developers-guide/cli-reference/dfx-ledger.html

Thanks, this looks right! Is there a way to get transaction history for a particular address? Like all transfers to/from an account?
