[GNC] Unable to retrieve currency quotes

[ml enquirer]

Hi John,

Thanks. Executing that command gives:

ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=<my key>
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump currency "CHF"
"USD"

1 CHF = 1.00156244 USD
so all looks good on the alphavantage side.

Thanks for the bug-link. Indeed, I have a number of securities (but no
other currencies, I think) set up. I'll try debugging by disabling one by
one and let you know how I get on.

All the best,
