Dear Andreas
Did you set your Alphavantage key as an environment variable before you
ran this test script? Try entering these commands first:
set ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=__Your_Actual_Key__
echo %ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY%
See attached screenshot.

Dear Mr Ralls,
It turn out you were able to correctly identify the issue for me since I
am not able to access the server. I am copying below the results after
running each command provided. I would be grateful if you could guide me

Dear Mr. Vyrides,
Please remember to copy the list on all replies.
Try testing Finance::Quote directly:
set ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=<your key>
perl
c:\strawberry\cpan\build\Finance-Quote-1.49-0\Examples\currency-lookup.pl
GBP EUR
If that fails, try
perl
c:\strawberry\cpan\build\Finance-Quote-1.49-0\Examples\stockdump.pl
alphavantage CSCO
to make sure that you can successfully query alphavantage.

Yes I have been through both gnc-fq-check which does not produce any
errors

"
and echo (yahoo_json "CSCO") | perl gnc-fq-helper which produces the
following result:
"
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>echo (yahoo_json "CSCO") | perl
gnc-fq-helper
(("CSCO" (symbol . "CSCO") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2020-09-09 12:00:00")
(last . #e40.13) (currency . "USD")))
"
I forgot to mention in my previous email that I have already tried
completely removing and reinstalling both gnucash, and strawberryperl
with not avail.
I hope this was helpful.
Kind Regards

Dear Sir,
I have been having some trouble retrieving currency quotes from
Perl using Finance::Quote. I am only interested in currency
exchange rates (have not attempted using anything else). I have
been going through all steps of the wiki, such as running "Install
online price Retrieval", even changing my alpha-vantage key by
requesting a new one. I have also tried to get quotes from outside
gnucash by using the terminal with the following result
"
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>gnucash-cli.exe --quotes get
file://C:\Users\EoL\Documents\gnuCash\test\test.gnucash
Found Finance::Quote version 1.49.
* 14:35:49 WARN <gnc.scm> Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:
CURRENCY:USD
CURRENCY:EUR
Continuing with good quotes.
"
In my attempts to get a single exchange rate from the terminal I
get the following results
"
C:\Program Files (x86)\gnucash\bin>perl gnc-fq-dump currency EUR GBP
1 EUR = <unknown> GBP
"
I would like to ensure that I have tried using both API keys in the
appropriate "online quote" in the preferences settings, but every
time I try to get quotes I get an error with "unable to retrieve
quotes for these items: Currency: USD, Currency:EUR"
I am currently using F::Q v1.49, and gnucash v4.1
Thank you for your time and all your support
Have you read https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes, in
particular https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Trouble_Shooting
?
Regards,
John Ralls
