Future change in handling the Alpha Vantage API key
Just a heads up that starting with gnucash 2.6.20 and 2.7.4 (beta release to become 3.0) it will no longer be necessary to edit the gnucash environment file to get Finance::Quote working with the Alpha Vantage quote source. Instead there will be a new option under Edit->Preferences->Online Quotes where you can set the key from within gnucash. This has two advantages: 1. (most obvious) this should be easier 2. you only have to set the key once. It won't be overwritten during a gnucash application update. I have updated the gnucash FAQ [1] accordingly. The only remaining issue is that gnc-fq-update will not retrieve the key from the gnucash settings. So if you run gnc-fq-update you will still need to add it to the environment as described in the FAQ. On a related note, as of the same future gnucash releases you will also find the version of Finance::Quote that gnucash discovered on the system in the Gnucash About dialog.

Re: API Key
Les, Dave, Thanks for airing this out a little more. I had not succeeded in getting this to work, mostly because I didn’t understand the FAQ, which tells us to add the environment key to "/etc/gnucash/environment where prefix is:” in one spot, and then says "/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources on MacOS." Apparently my memory has become so abbreviated that by the time I got to the second part, I had forgotten about the first part, and added the variable to a new environment file in “/Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources”, rather than adding the value to the functional (and already existing) environment file in /Applications/Gnucash.app/Contents/Resources/etc/gnucash/environment. I have modified the FAQ so that this ambiguity is removed. You might call it idiot-proofing. I’ll own that.
