I downloaded and installed gnucash, and setup investments account in the Assetts category, under "Brokerage Account."
When I run
dump-finance-quote yahoo yhoo
for example, it runs successfully and I get an output like this:
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: YHOO <=== required
date: 02/17/2006 <=== required
currency: USD <=== required
last: 32.88 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: 32.88 <=/
timezone: <=== optional
However, in the "price editor" window, when I click "Get Quotes" in the popup window, it displays the following message:
Unable to retrieve quotes for these items:
NASDAQ:yhoo
yahoo:dell
In the account edit for the yahoo stock, it is setup as follows:
Account Name: yahoo
Account Code: yhoo
Commodity:
Type: NASDAQ
currency/Security: yhoo (yahoo)
Account Type: stock
Parrent Account: Brokerage Account
Price Quote Source is selected, and the source for price is selected as "Yahoo", timezone is "Use local time."
Dell account is very similar, except in the Commodity, the Type: yahoo is what I experimented with.
How come I can get with the dump command, but not in the gui. BTW, in the command line I have tried for multiple stocks, and it works fine.
Any help is appreciated.
