Hi Andrzej! Nice to hear you're interested in the price update feature.
There was some discussion between me and Johannes Harms late last year in a
related issue (
https://bitbucket.org/blais/beancount/issues/329/bean-price-support-fetch-over-range-of
) We may want to continue discussion there - last thing we were looking
into was optimizing how a bunch of historical prices are fetched.
I honestly don't know how the review process works for beancount, I've just
been using my own fork in the meantime, so a script like Justus uses may be
a better solution for your needs.
