Subject: Re: [GNC] Get quotes problem with testing version 3.905
Message-ID: <[email protected]>

Here is my previous email with the graphics replaced by some relevant text.
I installed v3.905 to help with testing. I have a problem with getting
online quotes which worked fine with the latest release version.
Everything else has been OK so far.
I get this message now:
ERROR:: ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY must be set for currency and quotes; see
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Source_Alphavantage.2C_US
Although that URL provides lots of good information, none of my active
stocks, for which I am trying to get online quotes, are using
Alphavantage. I do have some inactive/obsolete stocks which are
defaulting to Alphavantage. Most of my active stocks are from the
Australian exchange ASX. I have one on NASDAQ for which I am using
Yahoo-json but that does not seem to work and did not on the release
version either. Here are the versions in my About dialog:
Version 3.905
Build ID: 3.905+(2020-06-14)
Finance::Quote: 1.47
Should I try to remove all reference to Alphavantage from even
inactive stocks?

Hi John,
If you haven't got a free Alpha Vantage API key and do have stocks that need
it, you either need to get an API key or untick 'Get Quotes' in the security
editor for those stocks using source alphavantage.
If you have accounts using multiple currencies, then you also need to untick
'Get Quotes' in the security editor for all the currencies if you don't want
exchange rates to be downloaded.
3.905 now gives you an error message rather that failing with an obscure
error msg.
See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Source_Alphavantage.2C_US

Hi Chris,
I had noticed those obscure error messages you mention. I have resolved
my problem and it was that I had a currency, which I don't remember ever
adding. I actually found out about it by examining my data as
uncompressed XML and searching for <quote_source>. I then discovered I
had to check a box in the security editor to see it in the GUI. I
unchecked 'Get Quotes' for it and now the only messages I get are
expected ones.
Thanks for you help.
John Bonnett
