If the data sources aren't already in gnucash, then there's no easy way.

You'd have to do the following:
1) find a website that offers the data
2) add to the perl module Finance::Quote to go to that website(s)
3) update the gnucash menus to dsiplay the new finance::quote module(s)
   as a possible data source.
