Hello all,
A few releases ago a simple counter was added to Finance::Quote (it can
be disabled by setting environment variable FQ_NOCOUNT). The results are
available at https://panix.com/~hd-fxsts/webalizer/ .
I was somewhat surprised that 'consorsbank' is clearly the most utilized
source method. What is more concerning is the number of fetches from a
few individual IP addresses.
50k queries per month using the same method is over 1500 per day. My
concern is that this is the behavior that the can trigger website owners
to make scraping security pricing by web scraping more difficult.
Looking at the weblogs, I suspect it isn't a GnuCash user as the queries
to Consorsbank from these 1 or 2 IPs is 24/7 and not end of trading day
price fetches.
