Hi Patrick, that's super useful!
That's got it working at the command-line! I can run bean-price -e
ledger.beancount and it pulls in the data from Yahoo Finance.
However, if I try to get it to update the ledger file with bean-price
--update ledger.beancount, fails with TypeError: conversion
Hi Sagar,
you don't need to use the same symbol name in beancount as you use for
lookup. You can define it in the commodity metadata
e.g. something like (I'm using alphavantage price source here, but yahoo

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm only facing this issue for securities
in this name format.
Other securities, like ITC or INFY, dont have this issue.
For them, I'm able to track like:
Assets:Broker:ITC 100 ITC {10 USD}
Assets:Broker:INFY 100 INFY {9 USD}
Thanks
Sagar

Hi,
I'm trying to import my mutual fund transactions into Beancount. The mutual
fund security names are in the format, "ADIT_BSL_FRON_YK3Z7Z", which are

Initially I had tried to create transactions like:
Assets:Broker:ADIT_BSL_FRON_YK3Z7Z 100
