Source code is available from
https://github.com/madsailor/SMF-Extension/issues
(That is the issue page on GitHub.) I don't see any commits since March
of 2015, but a
couple of issues, with probable solutions, have been submitted since then.

 If it relies on Yahoo Finance, it will break whenever Yahoo decides
that a downgrade in their offerings is vital, to ensure the continual
decline of their user base.

Thanks all for your reply.

Looks like there's not much I/ we can do to fix this issue.

I think I'll just move to Numbers that comes free with Mac. There seems to
be some Apple script out there that apparently works without a hitch.

a) The extension in question doesn't use data from that site;

b) Of the dozen Australian companies whose stock symbols I know, it
provided the wrong data 100% of the time.

c) I don't know the OP (Chris's) use-case, but I suspect that neither
cut and paste, nor importing files,
are a viable option.
(For the financial forecasts I make, using Calc, it takes an hour per
forecast to transcribe data, plus the time it
takes to ensure that the right data went in the right place.  The
problem that this extension is supposed to solve.)

Did that extension ever return correct values for Australian stock prices?

That extension is highly dependent upon Yahoo Finance not messing things
up. Something that happens every time somebody decides that they need to
do something else to chase away their existing customer base, in their
ongoing effort to become totally irrelevant everywhere.

If you have the programming skills  and patience in figuring what else
Yahoo broke, you might be able to rewrite around the error message that
Yahoo is throwing out.

Subject: [libreoffice-users] SMF Extension for stocks not working on
Australian stocks
To: users@global.libreoffice.org


I'd like to get the latest stock quote for Australian stocks but running
the =getyahoo("BRL.AX",36) gives me N/A; whereas if I try
=getyahoo("FB",36) which also doesn't seem right.

Wondering why the Australian stock is showing N/A and the NYSE stock (FB)
is showing a wrong value.

Thanks.
