So I've constantly run into issues getting quotes for stocks I have listed. Sometimes it loads some of them, and it seems completely random.
I'm using 3.0-118-gd2ef5fd0f+ (2018-04-28) with Finance Quote 1.47. I had a closer look at why the individual requests were taking so long. (Upwards of 1s per request) and it appears that there is throttling in the perl module of Finance::Quote to work around rate limiting on the server side. (See https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/blob/master/lib/Finance/Quote/AlphaVantage.pm#L252; causing a delay of 700ms) per request. If you add the connection time in here and increase the number of stocks then you just hit a timeout that gnucash is leaving for the requests and it seems it just generally fails all the time. Anyone can validate what I am seeing? Should I move to another data source? Does Alphavantage have any feedback? >From the gnucash point of view it only uses the latest quote so even returning the compact list (which is the last 100 days) is far overkill. Perhaps a lighter weight request returning the last closing value would be sufficient. dave. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
