Hello gnucash community!

I started using gnucash for my personal finances. I do have some 
questions, but the most pressing one is that there is something not 
working with the Alpha Vantage API key.

I validated that I have a valid API key and I entered it in the 
correspondent field of Gnucash Preferences.
In the price editor I don't get quotes for currencies, although I do get 
quotes for funds, stocks, etc..

When I ran on CLI this command  "gnc-fq-dump -v currency EUR USD" I get 
the message that the key is missing.

After that I set the key (on CLI) with export 
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=############## and ran again "gnc-fq-dump -v 
currency EUR USD". Now this time I got a quote; 1 EUR = 1.0802636 USD

What am I missing?

Thanks for your help. and insight.

Wolfgang
