I'll be honest I haven't had time to use beancount or run the latest, but looking briefly at the code there's a few things that comes to mind:
- I wasn't expecting one to use the --update feature without a beancount file (i.e. how you're using -e). --update was really meant for a workflow with an existing beancount file, where there's dates defined around the commodity and prior prices and transactions to help figure out. Is this a use case you see yourself regularly using? I know earlier I considered changing things to have a specified --start-date and --end-date but that would've likely broken how so many others already use bean-price in conjunction with a basic shell script to grab multiple prices. Another option is to just mock up a beancount file with the initial commodity entry date (e.g. "2020-10-26 commodity BTC") then run bean-price --update (no --date needed). - "--data" - just as a sanity check I assume you meant "--date" here. - Regarding the combination of using --update AND --date, Per the documentation, the way I have things setup is that when --update is used, it will "Fetch prices from most recent price for each source up to present day or specified --date" . So in this scenario it will look at the last date fetched and fill in the gaps up till the specified date (2020-10-26). If you already have a price after 2020-10-26 it's not going to do anything. -Vivek On Sunday, January 10, 2021 at 2:40:43 PM UTC-8 [email protected] wrote: > Apologies for the trivial question.
