Interesting; I just attempted to set this up a few weeks ago... I went to their web site and signed up for the free ID code. Maybe they check the IP address and it is not available in the UK? I hope you will hear from others... On Wed, Nov 30, 2022 at 2:39 AM aeg via gnucash-user < gnucash-user@g

It's interesting to note that Alpha Vantage is still recommended to GnuCash users and is available to some, as it stopped working for me a few weeks ago. When I contacted the Alpha Vantage Team, I was told that I needed to contribute to the premium plan, at a minimum cost of 49.99 USD per month
