To the maintainers of the Wiki, would this be something perhaps helpful
to include in the section about stocks and commodities?
I can also add 'xmlstarlet' commands as an alternative to manually
editing the file.

** Create a backup ** of foobar.gnucash before following these steps.
Replace 'vim' with your preferred editor.
~$ cp <pathtofile>/foobar.gnucash /tmp/foobar.gnucash.gz
~$ cd /tmp
/tmp $ gunzip foobar.gnucash
/tmp $ vim foobar.gnucash
In vim, change lines
<cmdty:quote_source>alphavantage</cmdty:quote_source>
to
<cmdty:quote_source>yahoo_json</cmdty:quote_source>
Save and exit
/tmp $ gzip foobar.gnucash
/tmp $ cp foobar.gnucash.gz <pathtofile>/foobar.gnucash
