Thanks Michael for your comments about using Yahoo_json for some of your security quotes. My needs are also very mild, but they number more than 4.
I am running GnuCash version 3.2, Finance::Quote 1.47 (Strawberry) on a Windows 10 machine. I tried using Yahoo_json with the GnuCash security editor and each time I get the "could not get quotes for the following...." message. I tried 2 mutual funds, 2 NYSE stocks and 1 NASDAQ stock. They all failed. I tried closing and restarting Gnucash just to be the changes in the security editor got loaded, still all failures. Yahoo_json is either not working for me or I am doing something wrong. Damn, I was hoping for an easy solution. Alphavantage works fine but only for the first 4 securities.
