Hi All, Just a quick heads up that neither source for ASX share prices is working properly/consistently at the moment (or at least I haven't worked out the consistency issues with alpha vantage).
1) The old (and most reliable) "Single" source data feed direct from the ASX stopped working on/around 21st January. See the following whirlpool link for more details: http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/archive/2678938 This forum page suggests that there are couple of alternative feeds now available from the ASX. However, the ASX hasn't provided any information on which of these (if any) will be supported in the long term. I'm keeping an eye on this page and when things stabilise, I'll see if I can figure what needs to be changed in ASX.pm. Even then, it may take a while, as it has been more than a decade since I last @$!%// with perl. 2) Alphavantage is kind-of working. You can definitely pull data using .AX. However, the feed is somewhat inconsistent. To show the problem, at the of end of this message, I've included a dump at from for Telstra generated by the following alpha vantage web page: https://www.alphavantage.co/query?function=TIME_SERIES_DAILY&symbol=TLS.AX&apikey=***************. The problem with the alpha vantage data is all about dates. I generated the dump below on the morning of the 9th of February. The first problem is that the most recent data in the Telstra data set is for the 7th, when it should be showing the 8th. Unfortunately, there is also a consistency problem - if I do a similar dump for VAS or STW, then both of them provide data for the 8th. I think this may be a time zone problem - but if so, it's a slightly odd one, where normal run of the mill ASX stocks (TLS, WEL, FMG) will need to be collected based on one time zone, whereas ETFs (VAS, STW, etc.) need to be collected on another. I picked this up because I've used the local time zone for pulling data, and this results in some, but not all ASX valuations being off by one day. I'll update this when I've done a bit more digging, but I thought other users of the ASX data sets would be interested to know about this anomaly. Cheers, Larry { "Meta Data": { "1.
