[GNC] YahooJSON hack for Linux Flatpak install
The hack proposed by Bruce Schuck in the thread "Yahoo Closed the Door on Finance API" also works for Flatpak install of Gnucash v. 5.3. This Flatpak install was the only Linux distribution of Gnucash v.5.3 I have been able to find. Unfortunately it it uses F::Q v. 1.56 and I have been unable to find any means of upgrading to F::Q v. 1.57. The good news is the hack also works on F::Q v.1.56. Bruce's hack is:>For those comfortable with locating and editing the YahooJSON.pm module>manually I have a quick fix. If you have F::Q v1.57 change the lines>defining $YIND_URL_HEAD and $YIND_URL_TAIL (lines 38 and 39) to: >my $YIND_URL_HEAD >=>'https://query2.finance.yahoo.com/v11/finance/quoteSummary/?symbol=';>my >$YIND_URL_TAIL = '=price,summaryDetail,defaultKeyStatistics'; The Flatpak YahooJSON.pm module is located at:var/lib/flatpak/app/org.gnucash.GnuCash/current/active/files/lib/perl5/site_perl/S.32.0/Finance/Quote Elevated privileges are required to modify this file. ___ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org 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.

[GNC] Fw: Finance::Quote terminal commands not working with Flatpak v:5.3 install
Old dog learning new tricks comes hard: I forgot to cc the mailing list in my reply to the valuable information Geert shared so this is to rectify that omission. Also, it occurs to me that it would be very useful if somebody who knows how to edit the Gnucash Wiki could put a link in the Online Quotes page, Section 3 (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Command_line_interface) pointing to the Flatpak page on Using Command Line Tools (https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak#Using_Command_Line_Tools) which documents the information that Geert supplied me.

The whole topic of flatpack is a complete mystery to me that I'm not sure I have the motivation to unravel. One small error in the code line you sent. The option keyword needs to be preceded with a double dash as follows: flatpak run --command=gnucash-cli org.gnucash.GnuCash --quotes dump and dump requires some arguements. Thanks again.

I installed via flatpack Gnucash v. 5.3 on Linux Mint v. 20 OS and the terminal commands that I previously used to find sources for quotes on longer work.

Re: [GNC] Unable to get TIAA-CREF price quotes
Yes. That does work. Although it takes a very long time to get a response from Yahoo. Like three minutes. That may be a function of my slow internet connection. Thank you very much, Dale.
