[GNC] Price quotes

[Kalpesh Patel]

F::Q was updated to version 1.55 which has a fix in it, albeit most likely
short term until Yahoo shuts off that spigot. In any platform you can
install/upgrade F::Q manually. Just run following two commands in CMD or
shell .... 

perl -MCPAN -e shell  
install Finance::Quote

# first command will put you in the CPAN command prompt. If doing so for
first time, accept all defaults which are likely to work fine as they are
sane setting.
# second command should install module and missing dependencies, and upgrade
any dependencies if out of date. 



For Windows platform this is what it should look like:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.22621.1702]
(c) Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\kalpesh>perl -MCPAN -e shell
Unable to get Terminal Size. The Win32 GetConsoleScreenBufferInfo call
didn't work. The COLUMNS and LINES environment variables didn't work. at
C:\Strawberry\perl\vendor\lib/Term/ReadLine/readline.pm line 410.

cpan shell -- CPAN exploration and modules installation (v2.28)
Enter 'h' for help.

cpan> install Finance::Quote
Database was generated on Mon, 22 May 2023 03:54:49 GMT
Finance::Quote is up to date (1.55).

cpan>exit
C:\Users\kalpesh>


PS: there has been lengthy conversation about yahoo_json not working on this
list and a workaround/temporary fix for it. BTW it is not the modules fault
that it is not working. Yahoo now requires a cookie and a matching crumb in
order for API to work properly on the back-end.

Keith

you need to give more details on the GNU version and also the Finance quote
version.  if you have not updated, you need to get the latest version where
the yahoo issue is fixed

I was using yahoo_json and it started failing to return anything. I switched
my securities over to Alphavantage and it works. But it is an order of
magnitude slower.Any word on Yahoo?
