That is strange - it did not work earlier and now it does! I thought it might be the quote marks, but it works either way, single or none, but not with double.

A stock I need to retrieve quotes from Yahoo JSON has an ampersand in its code and hence fails to retrieve the correct prices. If someone has faced this and come up with a workaround, I would like to know, please. The code is M&M for Mahindra and Mahindra, and the links for the same are as follows: https://www.nseindia.com/get-quotes/equity?symbol=M%26M https://in.finance.yahoo.com/quote/M&M.NS?p=M&M.NS&.tsrc=fin-srch I have tried escape sequence ‘M\&M.NS’, ‘M&M.NS’ and ‘M%26M.NS’ but in each case quotes for just ‘M’ corresponding to Macy’s is retrieved in USD - my locale is set for INR currency. Please advise, The last works for me: gnc-fq-dump yahoo_json 'M%26M.NS' Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses: symbol: M%26M.NS <=== required date: 08/14/2020 <=== recommended currency: INR <=== required last: 614.45 <=\ nav: <=== one of these price: <=/ timezone: <=== optional and echo '(yahoo_json "M%26M.NS")' | gnc-fq-helper (("M%26M.NS" (symbol . "M%26M.NS") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2020-08-14 12:00:00") (last . #e614.45) (currency . "INR"))) I tried it in GnuCash. Worked there too.
