Alphavantage supports currencies, e.g.:
$ export ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=XXX
$ gnc-fq-dump alphavantage GBPUSD=X
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: GBPUSD=X <=== required
date: 11/09/2017 <=== recommended
currency: USD <=== required
last: 1.3139 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: <=/
timezone: <=== optional
Haven't quite figured out how to get Gnucash to use this yet.
