Hi everyone,
I’m new to Beancount (and honestly, I’m amazed by the amount of
functionality it offers—wish I had discovered it sooner!). I’m trying to
set up bean-price to fetch stock prices, but I’ve run into some issues,
particularly with Yahoo and Alphavantage as sources.
Here’s what I’ve tried so far:
1. *Yahoo*:
It seems like Yahoo has blocked API access for fetching stock prices. When
I try fetching prices for AAPL, I get the following error:
❯ bean-price -e 'USD:yahoo/AAPL'
ERROR : Error fetching AAPL: Status 401: {'code': 'Unauthorized',
'description': 'User is unable to access this feature -
https://bit.ly/yahoo-finance-api-feedback'}
ERROR : Could not fetch for job: DatedPrice(base='AAPL', quote='USD',
date=None, sources=[PriceSource(module=<module
'beancount.prices.sources.yahoo' from
'/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/beancount/prices/sources/yahoo.py'>,
symbol='AAPL', invert=False)])
2. *Alphavantage*:
Despite being listed as a source in the GitHub documentation, I can’t seem
to get it working. Here’s the error I encounter:
❯ bean-price -e 'USD:alphavantage/AAPL'
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/beancount/prices/price.py",
line 178, inimport_source
__import__(default_name)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'beancount.prices.sources.alphavantage'
During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File
"/opt/homebrew/lib/python3.11/site-packages/beancount/prices/price.py",
line 182, inimport_source
__import__(module_name)
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'alphavantage'
Ultimately, I’d like to fetch prices for some Australian stocks in my
portfolio (e.g., ASX:VDHG, ASX:VGS, etc.).
Does anyone have advice on:
• Workarounds for Yahoo?
• How to enable or properly configure Alphavantage as a source?
• Any other sources I can use for Australian stocks?
Thanks in advance for your help! Any guidance would be much appreciated.
