The attached module extracts prices from the Vanguard price history page and adds them to the GnuCash price database.

you should consider to offer it to the finance-quote project.

One nitpick:the help section "See also" links to
http://www.vanguard.com, which is a redirect to
https://investor.vanguard.com/corporate-portal/# which then offers
several sites. Can you be more specific there, ideally the page
explaining which symbols a used, ...

Background: That is my starting point, when I update
https://code.gnucash.org/docs/C/gnucash-help/fq-sources.html#gnc-tbl-fq-individual-source
etc. for official modules.

Regards
Frank
