I disagree about it being network problem, because the error seems to me to be originating from the server - it seems to be refusing the SSL protocol handshake because it is proposing a protocol version that the server does not accept: SSL connect attempt failed error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure I also disagree about the networking problem suggestion because Firefox can successfully retrieve the QAN data using the same https://asx.api.markitdigital.com/asx-research/1.0/companies/QAN/header link that fails in F::Q. When I do the query on ASX:QAN using gnucash-cli, I get the same result as when I do the query using Perl directly and when I try to fetch share prices in the Gnucash Price Database GUI: % /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/gnucash-cli -V -Q dump asx QAN Application Path /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/MacOS/gnucash-cli Finance::Quote reported a failure for symbol QAN: Unable to fetch data from the ASX server 'https://asx.api.markitdigital.com/asx-research/1.0/companies/QAN/header'. Status: 500 Can't connect to asx.api.markitdigital.com:443 (SSL connect attempt failed error:14077410:SSL routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure) % Curl is able to fetch the JSON data from that URL: % curl https://asx.api.markitdigital.com/asx-research/1.0/companies/QAN/header; echo ''{"data":{"dateListed":"1995-07-31","displayName":"QANTAS AIRWAYS LIMITED","priceAsk":10.43,"priceBid":10.33,"priceChange":0.019999999999999574, "priceChangePercent":0.19249278152068885,"priceLast":10.41,"sector":"Industrials", "industryGroup":"Transportation","securityType":1,"symbol":"QAN","volume":3729869, "xid":"237135","marketCap":15964252393,"statusCode":""}} % That also suggests to me that a protocol issue in Perl's SSL libraries (rather than necessarily in F::Q itself) is the cause of the failure. Cheers, Peter Hi Peter, I agree it seems to be a problem with your perl modules or libraries. I’m afraid I know very little about macOS, but https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Online_Quotes#Installing_Finance::Quote_on_macOS has quite a lot of info. If it was for Windows or Linux, I’d be running: First Backup all perl stuff or full computer cpan upgrade Finance::Quote which also installs unsatisfied dependencies (can take a long time) and then cpan r (list modules that can be upgraded) cpan upgrade (upgrade all modules) John Ralls probably has a better idea for macOS… For Windows, in the past, I have had to uninstall/reinstall perl & Finance::Quote to get around some problems, but as perl is part pf macOS, I’ve no idea how to do that.
