Hi,
Getting stock prices from the ASX stopped working approx. 11th Feb 2018 when the m.asx.com website began being redirected to the ASX home website. If you'd prefer not to use AlphaVantage, which I believe can be intermittent sometimes, an alternative GnuCash source for stocks is Yahoo as JSON. Unfortunately, source Yahoo as JSON in Windows was not returning a valid date as Windows strftime function does not handle %T, so this was causing many perl warnings. These warning did not seem to matter when only looking up 1 stock, Finance::Quote would return date 00/00/2011 and gnc-fq-helper would change this invalid date to the current date. But when looking up multiple stocks (>15 in my case), it caused GnuCash to hang. There is now a fix available so that YahooJSON.pm returns the correct date of the stock price, but it is not yet included in the official Finance::Quote module available from CPAN (currently version 1.47). If you'd like to manually install the fix now, it is available on github in my personal github repository: Enter https://github.com/goodvibes2/finance-quote/blob/FqIss78YahooJson/lib/Financ e/Quote/YahooJSON.pm in a browser, click on the Raw button which should open the contents of the new YahooJSON.pm file on a new page. Use Control-A to highlight it all, then paste it into a text editor, say Notepad, then 'Save As' over the top of the existing YahooJSON.pm: Windows (Strawberry Perl): C:\strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote\YahooJSON.pm To test in a cmd.exe window: cd \Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin\ echo (yahoo_json "CBA.AX") | perl gnc-fq-helper The response should be the following with no warnings: (("CBA.AX" (symbol . "CBA.AX") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2018-03-02 12:00:00") (last . 75.73) (currency . "AUD"))) To setup a GnuCash stock to use YahooJSON for an Australian stock, in the Tools, Security Edit window, add the .AX suffix to the Symbol to tell YahooJSON that this stock is on the Australian Stock Exchange, and select Single, Yahoo as JSON as the 'Type of quote source'. Eg: Symbol CBA.AX Display symbol CBA Type ASX Get Online Quotes Ticked Type of quote source Single Yahoo as JSON Regards, Chris Good _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
