George,
(taking back to the list)
I do understand how frustrating this is. I went most of a year with no
online price updates, and my eventual success was by using
Finance::Quote and its yahoo_json source. Note that Finance::Quote is
not configured on the above page, and it and it's Perl
Do we know if any of these sources offer apis to the data?
Screen scraping will become increasingly more difficult.
I imagine access to the APIs, if they exist, would cost something. Like
with one of my American banks, they allow for free ofx file download but if
I want my financial software to c
If you want any real help, you need to cooperate and give us some
information we can follow up on. Which sources have you tried (at least
one example) and what stock symbol? Without that, we don't know if your
particular problem is the same as anyone else's. If you read through
all the tread
I've tried 3 or 4 sources that are listed on the drop down. No luck. If tey
don't work, why are they still listed as sources? Am I the only one having
these problems?It used to be easy to update the stocks, now it is impossible.

George,
The difficulty is that every source of stock/funds/currency prices is
different, and they don't simply provide it in a nicely parseable
format. They provide it for human eyes, in the form of a very
complicated web page, which they change the design of without notice to
anybody.
I have tried two or three sources. The last was Wall Street online DE default,
also used Globe and Mail,Wallstreet Hamburg. Popup says failed to retrieve
quote from... Why is it so difficult to have the stocks and funds updated?

What source are you using for the updates? As Thomas said, some sites,
such as Yahoo, have simply stopped providing that service, so it simply

The stocks, mutual funds, do not update at all. Instead I get failed to update
in red, and then nothing. The stocks used to update easily. There was an
"update all" button, and presto, they were updated. NOT SO in the last 2

George,
some sources have changed their data format others have seized their operation.
There are a couple of discussion threads on the KMyMoney forum at

In order to give some more advice or analyze your situation we would need some
details about the pr
Thomas, I have used Kmymoney for years, and up til about a year or so ago, was
always able to update my stocks through the program. That has stopped and for
some reason, I cannot update the stocks at all. Do the latest Kmymoneys fix the
problem? I enjoyed having the stocks update automatically,

Did you know, that you can try to import a QI
I recently downloaded KMYMoney to migrate away from Quicken. I like the
look & feel, and can tolerate having to start from scratch to add categories
with which I am familiar. I added several accounts and on my 1st attempt
ran into date issues since my bank used 4 digit and the program only allows
