Well, looks like bean-price doesn't support Google Finance. That was a bit
confusing since the documentation still refers to google finance and I had
to go down the issues in the mailing list and the GitHub repo for
bean-price to figure that part out.
The issue with Yahoo Finance is that for some Indian securities, it uses
the format, 0P0000XVUH.BO, which bean count doesn't accept since it starts
with a zero. Using the Yahoo Finance website and the ISIN, INF846K01EH3
works. But that doesn't work for bean-price and it returns an error with
the ISIN.
So I'm a bit stumped on what to do. Appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks,
Sagar
