Hi Michael,
I've faced the same problem. I use the gnucash python bindings and the
following script, to import prices from a text file which has date
(-MM-DD) and price with a new date on each line.
Hope it could be some use. As always, test it before deploying! Best wishes.
```python
I've used Google sheets to retrieve prices which can be imported into GnuCash.
In the referenced message, it should be simple to set whatever date you want.

As far as I know the Finance::Quote module that GnuCash uses has no
provision to fetch historical prices.
If you are into scripting and web scraping, checkout Selenium which has
a nice Python interface.
Good luck!

Hi Michael
You can't do this.
Alternatives:-
1. Key the prices directly into the Price Database:-
(Tools / Price Data Database / Add)
2. Import from a CSV file:-
(File / Import / Import prices from a CSV file)
Historical prices are available from, inter alia, https://finance.yahoo.com/
How can I tell GNU Cash to update its "Price Database" for all known
currencies, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc for a *specific* day?
I'm trying trying to prepare a report for a date in the past. I've set the
`Options` for the report to `nearest in time` so that it will grab the prices
