[GNC] getting price quotes

[aeg]

 It's interesting to note that Alpha Vantage is still recommended to GnuCash users and is available to some, as it stopped working for me a few weeks ago. When I contacted the Alpha Vantage Team, I was told that I needed to contribute to the premium plan, at a minimum cost of 49.99 USD per month, despite the fact that I've only been using the service once per week to retrieve 5 stock price updates. How are others still able to use the service free of charge?
I'm based in the UK, so I'd be interested to know how other UK users obtain updates to their stock prices.

Alphavantage is now the default, and you have to get a free ID to use the
service (there is information regarding how to acquire an ID).

Be aware, though -- Alphavantage adds a one-minute delay for each set of
five stocks you update. (That is, five stocks will take seconds, but six
stocks will take over a minute).

I changed to what David suggested for my stock updates. I would prefer to
have Multiple, but not use Alphavantage, but that doesn't seem to be an
option at present.
