If gnucash is even letting you punch the “Get Quotes” button, it thinks both
perl and finance-quote are installed correctly.
If the environment file you edited is
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gnucash/environment
then it looks to me like you only need the
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=################
form of the command instead of ‘export ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=################’
And you have relaunched gnucash since editing the environment file? Environment
files only get automatically read once per process lifetime.
If you want to try manually, open the terminal app and type [copy and paste
works as long as you leave out the leading $]:
$export ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=zzz
$/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump alphavantage TGT
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: TGT <=== required
date: 11/10/2017 <=== recommended
currency: USD <=== required
last: 61.4000 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: <=/
timezone: <=== optional
the ‘$’ is displayed by the Terminal app, not something you type.
Note that your API key is now available for as long as this particular terminal
window is open, you don’t have to reenter it to try other ticker symbols
Using the Up Arrow on the keyboard at a ‘$’ prompt reenters the last command
(without executing) so you can just edit the ticker symbol without having to
retype the whole command.
