[GNC] Gnucash-User

[John Ralls]

It seems unlikely that you're being moderated; rather I think you've never subscribed. A search of the list for the last 18 months shows exactly one post from Nabble last March, also about Finance::Quote. Liz, the moderator, probably passed it in as a one-off. You may subscribe at https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user. Please see  https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information about using Nabble with the list.

Finance::Quote is a separately maintained project from GnuCash and it's installed your computer's perl module directory so upgrading GnuCash isn't going to have any affect on it. Alphavantage is a commercial service with no ties to GnuCash. Another user reported an outage last week but that seems to have been quickly fixed. I just tested it and it's working:

/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump alphavantage CSCO
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: CSCO                 <=== required
      date: 07/02/2020           <=== recommended
  currency: USD                  <=== required
      last: 45.6300              <=\
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/
  timezone:                      <=== optional

My problem is that my stock prices that I normally download using Finance::Quote from Alpha Vantage have stopped working. I have not had any problems since we switched to Alpha Vantage and normally download stock prices around once a month or maybe a bit more frequently. My latest successful download was on June 12th. I have looked on the forum for anyone else with this problem but there have been no posts yet. I have updated to GNC 4.0 and I get exactly the same results.
