Hi Graham OK, back in November Yahoo stopped providing price information. There was a lot of traffic on the list around then and some rapid patches provided by various developers to keep the wheels turning. There are a couple of alternatives you can use - there is a service called Alphavantage which is nearly the same as the old Yahoo service. But you need to register with Alphavantage and get an " API key" (a sequence of Alphanumeric characters to authorise you on their service) which the Finance Quote PERL scripts need to be told, but then can handle getting price info from Alphavantage. The Gnucash FAQ contains details and instructions about that. Another option - it has been reported on the list that Yahoo still have a way to get info - but you need to tell F::Q use "yahoo_json" in place of Yahoo. I haven't tried it. The list archives will have more info if you can search and find it! HTH, Maf. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] 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.
