Thanks for that. All my questions answered. On the point of downloading the latest version of F::Q was that someone had suggested that I should use the Gnucash provided installation app to get the latest version and that only downloads the latest release - not the latest dev version.
Thanks again for all your help Adrian ________________________________ From: Bruce Schuck <bsch...@asgard-systems.com> Sent: 04 March 2025 16:28 To: 'GnuCash User' <gnucash-user@gnucash.org> Cc: Adrian Holbrook <megagru...@hotmail.com>; Kalpesh Patel <kalpesh.pa...@usa.net> Subject: Re: [GNC] Problems getting prices from Yahoo as JSON On 3/4/25 12:01 AM, Adrian Holbrook wrote: > I think that the issue with the Perl module to download > Finance::Quote is that it downloads the latest released version > while I was trying to download the development issue. Exactly what command were you using. "cpan BPSCHUCK/Finance-Quote-1.64_03.tar.gz" would have installed the interim version. > In the end I just copied the relevant YahooJson.pm module and > replaced the previous module.

The AV API does not return the currency, so all ".L" symbols are assumed to be GBP. If the user knows a security is traded in GPp/GBX, and using AlphaVantage, add a ".X" to the symbol. So NWG.L would be NWG.L.X.
