Hi,

My personal feeling is that "it depends."  If you're running on a
multiuser server then yes, it should probably be per-user.  If it's just
your home machine, then it can be a system variable.  I suspect most users
fall into the latter category and not the former.

Well, I am the only user on the machine where I run GnuCash.
Nevertheless I put ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY in my .bashrc because
that's where I set my environment.

For me it feels just wrong to have this under /etc.

First, many thanks to all that have put in work on F::Q since the turn

contribution again.

Having got my ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY today I'm wondering if it should be a
user variable rather than a system one as the instructions show at the
moment.

Obviously this is a fluid situation and there certainly isn't any rush
in GnuCash version terms but I thought I might see what other people
thought after a couple of weeks and before everyone gets used to it
being one or the other.

I think it should be a user variable if only because it didn't feel
right editing system files to contain user specific info, I don't think
F::Q itself will be fussed much so long as it is in the environment when
needed.

Thoughts ?
