Hello Erik.
1.47 - No errors but returns the wrong price data, i.e. for gold:
:~> gnc-fq-dump alphavantage XAU
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: XAU <=== required
date: 11/10/2017 <=== recommended
currency: USD <=== required
last: 6.5100 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: <=/
timezone: <=== optional
I'm not sure where it's getting the "6.51" from because the actual data
is:
"Realtime Currency Exchange Rate":
"1. From_Currency Code": "XAU",
"2. From_Currency Name": "Gold Ounce",
"3. To_Currency Code": "USD",
"4. To_Currency Name": "United States Dollar",
"5. Exchange Rate": "1275.85195014",
"6. Last Refreshed": "2017-11-12 20:31:17",
"7. Time Zone": "UTC"
Likewise, XAG (silver) returns 0.0200 instead of the expected
16.89899689.
On another note: on my system (openSUSE Leap 42.3) AlphaVantage.pm got
installed with eXecute permissions while all the other .pm have only
Read permissions. Was that intended?
Thanks.
Ralph
