I finally found alphavantage in the "Unknown" list and have selected it
as my source. I'm still not receiving any quotes, though. The wiki
page where I found info on my and many other's ALPHAVANTAGE problems is
here:
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_Why_doesn.27t_online_quoting_work.3F
And advises patience when downloading stock quotes from this site. I'm
as patient as the next guy, but my results appear the same as before so
I don't know if the changes I made will actually result in my receiving
quotes.
Do you have any idea when or if ALPHAVANTAGE will allow the use of other
sources than itself?
One last thing, with the last few versions of GnuCash 2.6.xx, the Price
Editor takes an inordinately long time to close. This began happening
before the stock quote download issue appeared.
Thank you,

****************************************
Gentlemen:
I'm running Linux Mint 18.1.
I've installed Finance::Quote 1.45 and acquired an ALPHAVANTAGE key.
I've tested 1.45 by using this string "export
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=################" in terminal (using my new key, of
course). 1.45 returns the proper quote information. I found the
"environment" file at "etc/gnucash/environment" and added two lines to
the bottom of that file:
# ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=################
Replacing "################" with my new key.
I'm unable to download quotes using the GnuCash Price Editor with
Vanguard as my source. After a system restart (because it couldn't
hurt), and changing my source to "T. Rowe Price, US", I am still unable
to download quotes using the GnuCash Price Editor. ALPHAVANTAGE isn't
one of my choices in Security Editor/Source Quote Information.
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what.
Any help will certainly be appreciated.
Thank you,
Robert L. Kief
