fundlibrary quotes

[Boyd Kelly (Coast Systems)]

I have 4 funds in a watch list on FundLibary.com.  One of those is the
Templeton Global Smaller Companies Fund, which according to FundLibary
has the following symbols:  TML694, TML707, TML737.  In addition on
their 'FundCard' they seem to reference some kind of internal id:
13872:207:TEM.

So I have tried the following: 


[root at ns1 bin]# dump-finance-quote  fundlibrary TML694

The query for TML694 failed!!
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: TML694 (deduced)     <=== required
      date: ** missing **        <=== required
  currency: CAD                  <=== required
      last:                      <=\
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional
[root at ns1 bin]# dump-finance-quote  fundlibrary 13872:207:TEM

The query for 13872:207:TEM failed!!
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:

      last:                      <=\
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional


In addition, us Canadians could maybe use the bmonesbittburns source.
(That is actually my broker!).  And their symbol for the above fund is
TML707.  Gives the following:


[root at ns1 bin]# dump-finance-quote bmonesbittburns TML707

The query for TML707 failed!!
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: TML707 (deduced)     <=== required
      date: //2004               <=== required
  currency: CAD                  <=== required
      last:                      <=\
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional
[root at ns1 bin]#

Hope that provides some clues?

Thanks very much,

Boyd

Hmm, indeed, it does look supported.  So, the question is: how does it
fail?  Perhaps you're not providing the ticker symbol properly?
Basically, if you get dump-finance-quote to work then gnucash will work,
but you need to figure out what you need to provide to get the F::Q
module to look up the price.
