[GNC] Alpha Vantage problems

[Chris Good]

Hi Adrian,

I'm afraid I have no idea if AlphaVantage can now or has ever been able to
supply prices for stocks on the London Stock Exchange. It would be good to
know an example stock?

Maybe some-one else can help?
I have never been able to figure out a way to get prices for stocks on the
Australian Stock Exchange either.
Using the yahoo_json .AX suffix doesn't seem to work for AlphaVantage.

If there is a way to do either of these things, it would be good to know and
I could document it in the wiki.

Regards, Chris Good

Thanks fo the advice. I was going to download the alpphvantage addon for
Excel but instead used gnc-fq-dump. I can get all the NYSE stocks but
nothing off the LSE using the suffix .L. Fails every time;.
