Thanks for this!   I had wondered why currency retrieval was failing the last 
few days - thought maybe just weekend maintenance.  

I had checked my Alphavantage key and it was still correct so I couldn't figure 
out what was happening.  I also couldn't see exactly where to specify a source 
for currency exchange rates (unlike stock quotes).

Regards,
Bill

Subject: [GNC] Online Currency Exchange Rates

We got a bug report, https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798599, this 
morning reporting that currency exchange rates aren't working.

After a bit of fiddling I got an intelligible error message:
  Thank you for using Alpha Vantage! This is a premium endpoint. You may 
subscribe to any of the premium plans at https://www.alphavantage.co/premium/ 
to instantly unlock all premium endpoints.

The cheapest one is $50/month. I don't think anyone here will find that 
attractive. Finance Quote offers three other sources for exchange rates but it 
will take a bit of work on our scripts to make that accessible to GnuCash. In 
the meantime anyone needing currency exchange rates will have to get them from 
the web and create prices manually.

Regards,
John Ralls
