Elias,
Have you rechecked your gnucash environment file for spelling, leading
comment characters, etc?
You did have admin rights when you edited it?
Did you quit gnucash before editing it?

Ok took me awhile to realize I needed to be in /usr/bin and run 'export
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=##############' first. Then it appears 'perl
gnc-fq-dump -v alphavantage AMZN' works returning this:
"Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: AMZN <=== required

AMZN close: 1169.4700
AMZN currency: USD
AMZN currency_set_by_fq: 1

AMZN high: 1184.0000
AMZN isodate: 2017-12-29
AMZN last: 1169.4700

AMZN method: alphavantage

So does this mean that gnucash is somehow not able to access my
alphavantage API key?
