Hi gnucash
I have returned to gnu-cash having not used it for several years so
please bear with me.
I have reloaded the system and set it up to get some UK stock prices
(LSE) using Alphavantage
Unfortunately I get poor results - only 25% - 50% prices are returned
- I assume this is caused by time outs
As a temporary fix I now use yahoo - json which gets results every
time so far, but I have to manually adjust these prices because the
return is in pence not pounds
Is there a parameter or easy way to fix this?
I note that yahoo are having problems due to their historical data for
UK is in pounds - not that I am going there.
Cheers

A solution to AlphaVantage limits is in Ameet Sengar's message;
available here.
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2018-September/079698.html
It has been my experience that the AlphaVantage.pm file is read only.
Change file properties to read write to modify; then back to read
only. (Notepad++ worked well for me on a Win10 system.)
Because Quote.pm is hard coded to use Alphavantage for exchange rates it
is also useful to put a delay in there if you have more than a few
currencies.
..\perl\site\lib\Finance\Quote.pm
I put it in just before the call to the outside world

my $ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY = $ENV{'ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY'};
return undef unless ( defined $ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY );
sleep(15);
my $reply = $ua->request(GET "${ALPHAVANTAGE_CURRENCY_URL}"
. "&from_currency=" . ${from}
. "&to_currency=" . ${to}
. "&apikey=" . ${ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY} );

Own risk, etc.
