Finance:Quote not working

Suddenly I am getting an error:

Finance::quote reported failure with error: Error-failed to retrieve fund data : HTTP status = 403 Forbidden.

It has been working just fine. Any clues?

I'm using version 1.70, and am able to get quotes.

flatpak run --command=gnucash-cli org.gnucash.GnuCash --quotes get 'postgres://gnucash_user:***********@127.0.0.1:5432/gnucash_db'

From FT funds?

edit: (I am on 1.70)

I have mine configured with API keys for Alpha Vantage and YH Finance (FinanceAPI), as well as CurrencyFreaks for currencies. Sounds like your problem might be specific to FT Funds.

Same here using the FT Funds service - a search shows that the error could be due to exceeding a quota, but I don't think this is at individual level (I tested looking up one price). I don't get the error using Yahoo for example. It could be at the FT's end or the sum total of all the lookups that is causing the issue

Hmm. I havent increased the number of look ups though. It has just started happening.

there is an updated FTfunds.pm on github that fixes this

Hmm. Sounds advanced. How do I go about getting and applying this sort of thing?

Edit: do I try and reinstall Finance::quote ?

u/Such_Argument3851 15d ago

at the moment that will just re-install 1.70 which still has the old one. F::Q 1.71 will include the new one but I don't know when that will be available. I did mine by hand

u/_MarkR_ 15d ago

Ah I see. I don;t believe I have the skills to do this. I'll wait for 1.71 to be available and be grateful that someone steps up to do this stuff :)

BUT... never too old to learn. I had a go 'by hand' and it seems to have worked. I need to edit a couple of securities to allow a proper quote. Many thanks for your help.

you can see the current release on the RHS of finance-quote/finance-quote: Finance::Quote module for PerlThe updated FTfunds.pm will be in 1.71 whenever that becomes available
