[GNC] [Finance-quote-news] Finance-Quote 1.56 released!

[John Ralls]

wriite2mark,

F::Q 1.56 does work with GnuCash:

/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/gnucash-cli -Q dump yahoo_json AAPL
Application Path /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/gnucash-cli

Finance::Quote fields GnuCash uses:
    symbol: AAPL            <=== required
      date: 05/30/2023      <=== recommended
  currency: USD             <=== required
      last: 177.3           <=\
       nav:                 <=== one of these
     price:                 <=/

There's a perl script that directly exercises F::Q in the cpan build directory; on my system that's
~/.cpan/build/Finance-Quote-1.56-0/Examples/stockdump.pl yahoo_json IBM
$VAR1 = {
          'IBMeps' => '2.24',
          'IBMname' => 'IBM (International Business Machines)',
          'IBMpe' => '57.80357',
          'IBMhigh' => '130.0699',
          'IBMvolume' => 3699033,
          'IBMisodate' => '2023-05-30',
          'IBMdiv_yield' => '5.1206455',
          'IBMlow' => '128.26',
          'IBMcurrency' => 'USD',
          'IBMmethod' => 'yahoo_json',
          'IBMlast' => '129.48',
          'IBMsymbol' => 'IBM',
          'IBMyear_range' => '      115.55 - 153.21',
          'IBMopen' => '129.56',
          'IBMclose' => '128.89',
          'IBMtype' => 'EQUITY',
          'IBMsuccess' => 1,
          'IBMdate' => '05/30/2023',
          'IBMexchange' => 'Sourced from Yahoo Finance (as JSON)'
        };
