Hello David,
Thank you so much for taking time with me. I've always managed to get
the quotes working in Gnucash even though Yahoo has thrown curve balls
over the years. In this current version, I don't have
Edit;Preferences;Online Quotes as an option. The only way is to go to
Tools;Security Editor and scroll through a bunch of items. Yes, I did
try many of the choices including Yahoo JSON. None worked.
I have not tried the alphadvantage since it seemed complicated. Please
let me look at this further and see if I can install it on my version.
I'm fighting with an older Gnucash version which isn't helping the
cause. But as I mentioned initially, when I installed a newer version,
my net asset wasn't close to what showed on my old version and I quickly
reverted.
Thanks again David. If I have success or an additional question, I'll
drop you a quick note. All the best,
Ron

You don’t tell us; are you using Yahoo! as your price source? Yahoo!
dismembered its quote source website a while back, and GnuCash users have had
to seek out other sources. One source is AlphaVantage, while another is “Yahoo!
as JSON”. If you set up your accounts to use one of these (preferably the
latter), do you still get the errors?
Note: you will need Finance::Quote verson 1.47; if you want to use
AlphaVantage, there are instructions on the wiki; I believe that the FAQ has
links to the instructions.

Hello to all. I have GnuCash 2.6.15 installed on my MX18 and all works fine
except the Get quotes price updater. I get an error message "There was an
unknown error while retrieving the price quotes." I've toyed with this for
hours and installed everything I could find on the net to no avail.
I can see the finance quote module load at start up but I cannot get a box
to show up to even change my data source. I am a user from long ago and the
program is awesome and the price updater has worked in years past. This is a
new computer and new OS install but I'v tried to confirm I have all modules
installed and as far as I know, everything is in place but won't work.
I also upgraded to a much newer version and not only didn't price updater
not work, the new asset values was completely different from the older
version. I lost money. So I uninstalled and went back to this older version.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I am manually updating about a
dozen quotes.
Thank you! Ron
