GnuCash calls the gnc-fq-helper application to get quotes. You could replace that program with any other program you want to return quotes back to Gnucash. Run the program by hand if you want to see the format of the returned data.
I dont know if it expects to get one quote at a time or gets all quotes in one run. There's also the scheme API (and I API) you could use if you wanted to write code to install quotes. Also, F::Q itself has an API; it's a plugin architecture so you could plug in your own module. But I have to ask: why would you want to NOT use F::Q? -derek Quoting nospamforas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Hi, > > gnucash imports prices using Finance::Quote.
