[GNC] Online Quotes

[Alex Dorsch]

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting online quotes for share prices in Gnucash.

I'm fiddeling around with finance::quote

While this works:

$ ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=<my_key> gnc-fq-dump alphavantage googl
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: googl                <=== required
      date: 07/22/2020           <=== recommended
  currency: USD                  <=== required
      last: 1564.8500            <=\       
       nav:                      <=== one of these
     price:                      <=/        
  timezone:                      <=== optional

Everything that's not listed in the US does not:

$ gnc-fq-dump sixshares CH0010645932
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
    symbol: CH0010645932         <=== required
      date: ** missing **        <=== recommended
  currency: ** missing **        <=== required
      last: **missing**          <=\       
       nav: **missing**          <=== one of these
     price: **missing**          <=/        
  timezone:                      <=== optional

I would be very glad to receive some help. I've been looking around for
portfolio tracking software on linux (jstock, several web based
products, etc.) and haven't found anything satisfactory.

I'd be really happy if I could use Gnucash for all my financial
managing needs, but at this point I find it quite cumbersombe.

Best regards,

Alex
