I'm getting error messages when I try to fetch share prices from the
Australian Stock Exchange (ASX/AX) in GnuCash.
When I use Tools>Price Database, Get Quotes, there's a delay of a few
seconds then an error message popup:
Quotes for the following commodities were unavailable or unusable:
* ASX:QAN Finance::Quote reported failure with error: Unable to
fetch data from the ASX server.
'https://asx.api.markitdigital.com/asx-research/1.0/companies/QAN/header'.
Status 500 Can't connect to asx.api.markitdigital.com:443 (SSL
connect attempt failed error: 14077410:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure
Followed by similar messages for all the share codes that I'm attempting
to fetch (QAN is the share code for Qantas). Apologies for any
transcription errors: the popup doesn't allow me to copy/paste from it.
If I paste
https://asx.api.markitdigital.com/asx-research/1.0/companies/QAN/header
into Firefox 152.0.5 (for macOS), it fetches correct JSON data for
ASX:QAN without errors.
The setup for QAN in the Security Editor is:
Full name: Qantas
Symbol/abbreviation: QAN
Display symbol QAN.AX
Namespace: ASX
Get online quotes: checked
Type of quote source: Single, Australian Stock Exchange, AU
But I assume that they are correct, because the correct URL for the
Qantas price data seems to be being generated.
GnuCash: Version: 5.16 Build ID: 5.16+(2026-06-27) (for Intel macOS)
Finance::Quote: 1.70
macOS: Sequoia 15.7.7 (24G720) (for Intel)
My last successful fetch was on 21 June 2026, using Gnucash 5.15-1 for
Intel macOS and (I think) Finance::Quote v1.56. Using Finance::Quote
v1.56 in GnuCash 5.16 hangs without any error message.
Should I have updated something else in the Perl library (the SSL
libraries, for example), or have I missed anything?
Any help would be appreciated,
Peter
