[GNC] Difficulty with online price retrieval

[John Ralls]

But not for currency rates, which F::Q has hard-coded to use alphavantage. Plus Alphavantage currency rates seem to still be working:
/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/bin/gnc-fq-dump currency USD GBP
1 USD = 0.79411 GBP

Regards,
John Ralls
