[GNC] Yahoo JSON - throwing unauthorized error

[Bruce Schuck]

To the maintainers of the Wiki, would this be something perhaps helpful 
to include in the section about stocks and commodities?

I can also add 'xmlstarlet' commands as an alternative to manually 
editing the file.

** Create a backup ** of foobar.gnucash before following these steps.
Replace 'vim' with your preferred editor.

~$ cp <pathtofile>/foobar.gnucash /tmp/foobar.gnucash.gz
~$ cd /tmp
/tmp $ gunzip foobar.gnucash
/tmp $ vim foobar.gnucash

In vim, change lines

<cmdty:quote_source>alphavantage</cmdty:quote_source>

to

<cmdty:quote_source>yahoo_json</cmdty:quote_source>

Save and exit

/tmp $ gzip foobar.gnucash
/tmp $ cp foobar.gnucash.gz <pathtofile>/foobar.gnucash
