The last works for me:
gnc-fq-dump yahoo_json 'M%26M.NS'
Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses:
symbol: M%26M.NS <=== required
date: 08/14/2020 <=== recommended
currency: INR <=== required
last: 614.45 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: <=/
timezone: <=== optional
and
echo '(yahoo_json "M%26M.NS")' | gnc-fq-helper
(("M%26M.NS" (symbol . "M%26M.NS") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2020-08-14 12:00:00")
(last . #e614.45) (currency . "INR")))
I tried it in GnuCash. Worked there too.
