thanks kalpesh, i stand corrected, i tried fetching with BRK-B with Alphavantage and it worked. Also with ANZ i am able to fetch with multiple ->Australia (ASX)
so the issue is somewhere else Saludos Cordiales Murugan ________________________________ From: Kalpesh Patel <kalpesh.pa...@usa.net> Sent: Wednesday, May 24, 2023 11:21 AM To: 'Murugan Muruganandam' <m.muruganan...@hotmail.com>; thornefamilytr...@bigpond.com <thornefamilytr...@bigpond.com>; 'David H' <hell...@gmail.com> Cc: gnucash-user@gnucash.org <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: RE: [GNC] Gnucash 5.1 Online Quotes not working Kevin – In addition to below what Murugan has mentioned … two additional items to try: 1) Check which perl is GNC using (this is to eliminate munged up path or GNC is looking at different Perl install base – unlikely but validation won’t hurt) To do so, type in following in an clean CMD window: where Perl This for me returns back ‘C:\Strawberry\Perl\bin\perl.exe’ 2) Start with a clean slate in GNC … also recommend that you fully turn off Norton mal-ware/anti-virus software for duration of this clean slate test. a. Open GNC Select ‘File’ -> ‘New File’ (select default all the way through and save the file as ‘test’ or something like that at a known location in a separate folder. You’ll want to delete the folder once test is over) b. Define the ‘Berkshire Hathaway Inc Class B’ security as previously mentioned and only this one security precisely as detailed in prior email. c. Update prices d. Review if prices got retrieved Few notes: On ‘Change the symbol for Berkshire to BRK.B from BRK-B’, for me when the source is set to ‘Yahoo as JSON’, BRK-B (one with the dash) retrieves prices. There is likely a chance that different price sourcer might set the symbol format differently – this is the experimentation part which is to figure out what security works with which price source as mentioned earlier in the thread. If you want an alternate that does not have a complication of different classes of security then try the below simpler one: Security Information: Full Name: BANK OF NEW YORK MELLON CORP COM Symbol/abbreviation: BK Display symbol: BK Namespace: NYSE ISIN, CUSIP or other code: <blank> Fraction traded 1/:1000 Quote Source Information: --tick 'Get Online Quotes' Type of quote source: --click 'Single' and field next to it needs to read 'Yahoo as JSON' (scroll down the drop down by clicking the arrow on the right side and then select it from the list. ) Timezone: Use local time Prices pull for ‘BRK-B’ via ‘Yahoo as JSON’ source was working for me as of this writing but your mileage may very if Yahoo is in middle of shutdown of v6 spigot (David H mentioned this).

Re-running install script and displaying the info you list is further concurrence that the quote retrieving facility is working fine. Here most likely is case of security definition having incorrect ticker symbol or the source you are selecting does not carry prices for it. Try adding a known security with a known source and see if it retrieves prices or not (see below known to work for me). If it does not retrieve prices even after that then there is likely a third party malware protection installed on your system which is blocking networking connection to the source to retrieve prices. Here is the security definition... Security Information Full Name: Berkshire Hathaway Inc Class B Symbol/abbreviation: BRK-B Display symbol: BRK-B Namespace: NYSE (note: type in 'NYSE' if it is not found in the drop down) ISIN,CUSIP or other code: (leave it blank) Fraction traded 1/:100000 Quote Source Information: --tick 'Get Online Quotes' Type of quote source: --click 'Single' and field next to it needs to read 'Yahoo as JSON' (scroll down the drop down by clicking the arrow on the right side and then select it from the list. ) Timezone: Use local time Update the prices (Tools -> Price Database --> click 'Get Quotes' button) and then review it in that window whether price was retrieved or not. Expand the 'NYSE' namespace and underneath it you should see BRK-B. Click arrow to the left of 'BRK-B' to see prices that GNC has collected so far. If nothing is there then most likely a third party malware protection (or a malware) is restricting connection. If prices were retrieved then you need to ascertain correct source and symbol by means of experimentation for the security that is of interest for which prices retrieval has eluded you so far. -----Original Message----- From: thornefamilytr...@bigpond.com<mailto:thornefamilytr...@bigpond.com> <mailto:thornefamilytr...@bigpond.com> <thornefamilytr...@bigpond.com <mailto:thornefamilytr...@bigpond.com> > Sent: Monday, May 22, 2023 9:22 PM To: gnucash-user@gnucash.org<mailto:gnucash-user@gnucash.org> <mailto:gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Subject: [GNC] Gnucash 5.1 Online Quotes not working Hi, I have re-tried by installing Gnucash v5.1 on my Win 10 machine to get online quotes to work.
