[GNC] Error Retrieving Quotes

[Deva -]

Sachin,

India stock quote retrieval hasn’t worked for me either.

If you google for solutions, then you will come across some posts where someone has posted an edited version of Quote.pm for India stocks, but last time I looked, it was pretty old and I can’t vouch for the authenticity either (you have to put this edited file at the location where Finance Quote is installed on your computer).

If you are using Gnucash to track stocks, you are probably not a day trader because only in that case, you may need frequent price updates.

If you are using Gnucash for tracking stocks over longer periods, then you are unlikely to need price updates on a daily or weekly basis (I do a monthly update).

You can simply use the CSV Price Importer (if you are using 3.x versions and it works very well) and once a month import the CSV price file for all your stocks. If you fix the format of the CSV file, you can even save the price import as a template so that future imports are even smoother.

Cheers.

Hi All,

Sorry to raise an old topic, but I do hope I can get some help.

I am from India and I have setup stock accounts for various stocks that I
hold and which are traded on National Stock Exchange in India. I have
installed the relevant pre-requisites including Perl on my Windows 10
machine.

In the Security Editor, I have set up a stock (e.g. HDFC Bank Limited -
HDFCBANK.NS) with the correct ticker symbol on Yahoo Finance. I used the
various Online Quotes options :
a) Single - Yahoo as JSON or Yahoo as YQL
b) Unidentified - yahoo, yahoo asia etc

When I try to Get Quotes, I get a message that there was an unidentified
error while retrieving quotes.

Does this even work for any of the stocks traded on Indian stock exchanges
? Just dont want to waste my time in something that is not available ...

Thanks in advance for your help

Best Regards

Sachin
