[GNC] Error Retrieving Price Quotes - Windows 10

[Chris Good]

Hi Davy,

 

Looks to me like Bloomberg has changed their website so it no longer works unless you are using it interactively.

There’s probably not much Finance::Quote can do about it but it may be useful letting other people know about it by raising an issue at https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues

 

I suggest you try to find another source for ALLAMAI:LX. Good luck.

 

Regards,

Chris Good

I am still running 3.10. It seems that I am getting the following error from bloomberg.pm <http://bloomberg.pm>  

 

When I try to run "perl gnc-fq-dump -v bloomberg ALLAMAI:LX", it returns something like

"Are you a Robot?"

"We've detected unusual activity from your computer network"
"To continue, please click the box below to let us know you're not a robot"

 

Any suggestions?

I got the following errors while running gnucash --add-price-quotes (under
windows environment)

WARN <gnc.core-utils> Could not kill child process: Access is denied.
ERROR <gnc.scm> There was a system error while retrieving the price quotes.

The system was working perfectly fine the day before. I hard reset the PC
once as it was completely frozen.

Any idea how to fix it ?

Hi Davy,

Have you just upgraded to GnuCash 3.905?
It now gives an error message if you need an Alpha Vantage API key and the
args for getting quotes from a batch job have changed.
See
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Updating_enabled_Quotes_from_out
side_GnuCash

Try running Get Quotes from within GnuCash to see if there is an error msg.

See https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Trouble_Shooting
