[GNC] Price update not working

[Geoff]

Hi Richard

If you have configured your GnuCash securities to retrieve their prices 
using AlphaVantage then you need to make sure that you have entered your 
API Key in GnuCash preferences.

Also, depending on the problem, it may help if you upgrade to a later 
version of of Finance Quote:-

https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/releases/tag/v1.53-rc.2
https://www.cpan.org/modules/by-authors/id/B/BP/BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.52_02.tar.gz

Hope this helps.

Regards

Geoff
