Kalpesh,

First order of business, it's always helpful to include OS info and 
GnuCash version in addition to the F::Q version. Even better, the 
version of Perl as well (output of "perl -v" or "perl -V").

But from my quick tests, this looks like some odd issue with GnuCash, at 
least in Gnucash v5.1 build 5.1+(2023-04-30).

On my Windows 10 VirtualBox system I opened the command prompt and 
changed directory to the CPAN build directory for F::Q v1.56_02. Then 
executed F::Q's own example program. Using yahoo_json and the new 
yahooweb as the source method.

Both worked fine. As well as using the GnuCash CLI.
