Here’s what I get from California:
$ Hector:/Users/john> gnucash-cli -Q info
Found Finance::Quote version 1.70.
Finance::Quote sources:
alphavantage amfiindia asegr asx australia
bats borsa_italiana bourso bseindia bvb

$ Hector:/Users/john> gnucash-cli -V -Q dump asx QAN
QAN:
type => 1
symbol => QAN
bid => 10.33
last => 10.41
success => 1
method => asx
p_change => 0.192492781520689
net => 0.0199999999999996
price => 10.41
name => QANTAS AIRWAYS LIMITED
ask => 10.43
currency => AUD
errormsg =>
volume => 3729869
$ Hector:/Users/john> gnucash-cli -Q dump asx QAN
Finance::Quote fields GnuCash uses:
symbol: QAN <=== required
date: **missing** <=== recommended
currency: AUD <=== required
last: 10.41 <=\
nav: <=== one of these
price: <=/
That suggests you have a network problem rather than something wrong with F::Q
1.70.
Regards,
John Ralls
