Let my try to explain what I'm trying to do,
maybe I'm looking at things wrongly.
I would like to have a local price database. I do this with beancount files
with price directives. What I'm now looking at is how to update this price
files. They basically contain one entry per day and are updated daily. But on a
daily run it can return a price date which already exists and I'm looking at a
way to update (or maybe ignore) that entry.
I would also like all the price directives be in my base ccy as this then
allows me simple reports as I know that I have prices to base ccy for
everything. Here the problem is that some price sources will return the price
in another ccy and I have to first convert it into my base ccy before creating
the price entry.
I can create a script which does all that thing, I wad just wondering if there
is a better/easier way than to create my own script.
