Bad news, the AlphaVantage Exchange Rate API is also failing.

Their example:

https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=CURRENCY_EXCHANGE_RATE&from_currency=USD&to_currency=JPY&apikey=demo 


Returns and empty JSON object "{}".

This is *not* a Finance::Quote issue, it is a problem with AV's API.

You can change the default F::Q currency module by setting and exporting 
the FQ_CURRENCY environment variable. Available alternates in F::Q v1.63 
are:

Require API Key:

CurrencyFreaks
OpenExchange
Fixer

No API Key:

YahooJSON

If you install BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.63_06.tar.gz

FinanceAPI - requires an API Key

FQ_CURRENCY=FinanceAPI gnucash-cli --quotes get ${HOME}/gnucash-filename
