Thanks for your quick response. I understood that I have to set
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY as an evironment variable on the command line. For some
reason the command line works with stocks but not with currencies:
rd@h370:/usr/share/doc/libfinance-quote-perl/examples$ export
ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY=<MY_KEY>
rd@h370:/usr/share/doc/libfinance-quote-perl/examples$ echo '(alphavantage
"MSFT")' | gnc-fq-helper
(("MSFT" (symbol . "MSFT") (gnc:time-no-zone . "2021-03-09 12:00:00") (last .
#e233.7800) (currency . "USD")))
rd@h370:/usr/share/doc/libfinance-quote-perl/examples$ echo '(currency "USD"
"EUR")' | gnc-fq-helper
(#f)
rd@h370:/usr/share/doc/libfinance-quote-perl/examples$
even though
rd@h370:/usr/share/doc/libfinance-quote-perl/examples$ ~/tmp.nobackup/currency-
lookup.pl USD EUR
USD->EUR = 0.8384
rd@h370:/usr/share/doc/libfinance-quote-perl/examples$
works (with the patch setting ALPHAVANTAGE_API_KEY in currency-lookup.pl, as
shown here https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote/issues/
173#issuecomment-793126311 ). This indicates that the information is correctly
retrieved from Alphavantage, but the communication between finance-quote and
gnc-fq-helper does not work properly.
Thanks
Rainer
