hi Kalpesh Yahoo JSON is still working in V6 (refer my earlier email)
if you want to custom build a source, it is very much possible. please follow the steps below Create your own code and name it appropriately (eg yahooscrap.pm) 1. Place the file yahooscrap.pm inside the following folder Linux depends on the way it was installed: by package manager: /usr/share/perl5/[vendor/]Finance/Quote by CPAN or gnc-fq-update: /usr/share/perl5/site/Finance/Quote self compiled: /usr/local/share/perl/5.xx.x/Finance Windows: C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote macOS: /Library/Perl/5.xx/Finance/Quote where xx depends on the version of perl in use when you installed Finance::Quote. macOS upgrades may require reinstallation of Finance::Quote because older version directories are not included in @INC. 1. To make your file accessible following file needs to be edited to include the line "yahooscrap" Windows: C:\Strawberry\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote.pm add yahooscrap inside the modules block @MODULES = Now go to security editor and use unknown as type of quote source and yahooscrap will be visible to be picked up. Save and now run the get quote Saludos Cordiales Murugan ________________________________ From: gnucash-user <[email protected]> on behalf of Kalpesh Patel <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, May 11, 2023 6:01 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: [GNC] Security pricing sources As most of you know yahoo_json has gone broken which IMHO was really the only free source for people like me who just needed end-of-day prices. While I've gotten around to it with able to gather the data via custom Python script and import it in, I like to directly integrate and interface with the GNC to pull prices from the web scraping Yahoo. I noticed that there is not a "custom" source I can specify for price download, in additional to many of them greyed out (Vanguard source would have been great as quite a number of mutual funds I track are with them). So two question, how easy is it for someone who is somewhat familiar with programming to directly wire-up and interface with it and how can the greyed out sources be enabled? I am on Windows 11 with 4.14 GNC but willing to tackle on 5.x version. Thanks. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list [email protected] To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
