Renaming FQ_LOAD_QUOTELET to "JuliusBaer" works, so I removed the

Yes. Setting FQ_LOAD_QUOTELET allows users to utilize modules that are not part of the F::Q package. As a matter of fact, if you look at https://www.cpan.org/modules/01modules.index.html, you can find a few modules that people have uploaded but not asked to have merged into F::Q.

Examples:

Finance-Quote-IEX-0.002000.tar.gz (JTPALMER - 2019)

Finance-Quote-Sberbank-0.04.tar.gz (KILORK - 2010)

Finance-Quote-Moex-0.6.tar.gz (PARTIZAND - 2023)


Of course, not being part of the official F::Q distribution, if these work and if used, the author would be responsible for any support.


However, retrieval of several currencies then failed:
* 09:46:35  WARN <gnc.price-quotes> [GncQuotesImpl::parse_one_quote()]


So  I tried changing FW_LOAD_QUOTELET to "-defaults JuliusBaer" and
got even more currency failures:


I have an ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY set, but setting FQ_CURRENCY=YahooJSON
seems to have resolved the problem.


I would guess that you have exceeded the AlphaVantage limit (25 per day). Probably during the first run (3 errors), and then any currency lookups during the subsequent test fail. Currently, there is not a mechanism by which the currency lookup reports a failure because of an API limit.


First time I've visited the AlphaVantage.co website in quite some time. I noticed this:


"We are pleased to provide free stock API service covering the majority of our datasets for 25 API requests per day and unlimited API requests for verified open-source or educational projects. If you would like to target a larger API call volume, please visit premium membership."


I think the blurb about unlimited API requests for verified open-source projects is fairly new. Given more free time, I will have to reach out to them and see if Finance::Quote can be verified as an open-source project. Now, it may be that just the developers of an OS project get unlimited requests, to assist in testing. I'll post something here when I have more information.

P.S. rsbrux, I get the gnucash-user email in digest format. It would be helpful if you copied responses to the list *and* the original poster. Thank you.
