Hi (again!)
OK, if you had AlphaVantage working at some time you'll have an
AlphAvantage API key.
(In GnuCash 3.5 you can confirm this by going through*Edit > Preferences
> Online Quotes *and confirming that the key appears there)
It sounds as if you've hit the problem with AlphaVantage throttling the
queries; the way to overcome this is to modify the file
*AlphaVantage.pm.* I had problems finding the correct file to modify but
I think in Ubuntu 18.04 it is
at*/usr/local/share/perl/5.22.1/Finance/Quote*; in 19.04 it's at
*usr/share/perl5/Finance/Quote/AlphaVantage.pm*. Or, to be more exact,
that's where it was/is on my system; if it's not there a hint (given by
John Ralls a while ago) is to look in the */etc/share* directory and
look in folders called perl or perl5.
Having found the file it needs to be modified to add in a delay that
overcomes the throttling problem. Very close to the end of the file
there is a line
*select(undef, undef, undef, .7) if ($quantity);*
(although, to be honest, I can't swear that the final semi-colon
appears) that needs to be modified to read
*select(undef, undef, undef, .7) if ($quantity); sleep(15);*
(the modified line does need the semi-colon).
It took me some time to gather the courage to go in and modify a
"system" file; if you share my discomfort I can provide some guidance on
how to do it.
Best wishes
Eric

Editor (Re)working??
I am running Ubuntu 18.04. GNC ver 3.5. My stock is all on the ASX
(Australia). Things worked wonderfully until the Yahoo demise and
then for a while I was able to use Alphvantage but that stopped too.
I have tried all sorts of fixes randomly and fear I have completely
confused GNC in the process.
I would greatly appreciate some step by step assistance.
