Help importing historical stock prices

[Jim Vincent]

There is finance-quote script. I was hoping that I could use that to get the prices and get them into gnu-cash. The amount of data is not a big concern – although there are a lot of stocks (maybe a hundred), I just need year-end data for the past six years, plus data for a starting point. I need the list of stocks to input to finance-quote, along with a list of the dates I need data for. 

I am willing to pay if someone can help me.

There is no easy way to do that.  If someone has written a script to do that perhaps they can tell us about it.

Adding a lot of price history to the data would just make the file huge anyway.

 

I sometimes add a few prices manually if I want them for a certain report.
