[GNC] AlphaVantage Deal

[Ott Kekishev]

Hello Richard,

What version of GC are you using? I have been trying to get yahooJSON
working in GC, but had no luck so far. I am using version 3.2. F::Q works
for yahooJSON, but inside GC it does not fetch. Do you know what files are
connected in GC to this yahooJSON fetching?

Best regards,
Ott
