Old dog learning new tricks comes hard: I forgot to cc the mailing list in my
reply to the valuable information Geert shared so this is to rectify that
omission.
Also, it occurs to me that it would be very useful if somebody who knows how to
edit the Gnucash Wiki could put a link in the Online Quotes page, Section 3
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Command_line_interface) pointing
to the Flatpak page on Using Command Line Tools
(https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak#Using_Command_Line_Tools) which
documents the information that Geert supplied me.
Cheers,doug

Flatpack v:5.3 install
Thanks Geert-
This works! The whole topic of flatpack is a complete mystery to me that I'm
not sure I have the motivation to unravel.
One small error in the code line you sent. The <quote> option keyword needs to
be preceded with a double dash as follows:
flatpak run --command=gnucash-cli org.gnucash.GnuCash --quotes dump
and dump requires some arguements.
Thanks again.
Cheers,doug

Hi Doug,
For the flatpak edition of gnucash the command to fetch quotes is slightly more
complex:
flatpak run --command=gnucash-cli org.gnucash.GnuCash -quotes dump
This boils down to the following components:
- flatpak run .... org.gnucash.GnuCash
=> indicate you want to execute a command in the org.gnucash.GnuCash sandbox
without any further options, this will run the default command in that
sandbox, which is "gnucash"
- --command=gnucash-cli
=> indicate you don't want to run the default command, but gnucash-cli
instead
- -quotes dump
=> the arguments to pass to the command to run
Regards,
Geert
