This rewritten version takes JSON input and spits out JSON.
Additionally inverted currency quotes will only be flagged.
The old code also swapped currencies in the result.
GncQuotes will be written towards these new implementation
choices.
At the same time do an explicit reinstantiation of quotes_cached at first use
to work around what seems to be a race condition between static instantiation
and binreloc.
This library intends to wrap Finance::Quote the way price-quotes.scm currently does.
In this first commit the library replaces price-quotes.scm's library to install
quote sources. In addition it exposes a new command line parameter in gnucash-cli
to show which version of Finance::Quote is installed on the system (if any) and
which quotes sources that verions exposes.
I've did a small bash script that retrieve the sources from gnc-fq-dump and try to find one source that has the specific stock. At that point I've noticed that the sources returned by Finance::Quote have always a different order. Just wondering if it is done in that way intentionally (?)
AlphaVantage API Key is needed for all currency quotes
and stock quotes with source 'alphavantage' or 'vanguard' or
multi sources that include 'alphavantage'
This version is available for all supported platforms and distros
(CentOS can have a version via EPEL, which is required anyway)
Advantages:
- one cmake version for all platforms
- we can drop all conditions based on cmake version
crash when involving foreign currency stocks.
Scheme's inexact->exact function just converts the floating-point
representation of a number into an exact rational (documented in the
API Reference, Simple Generic Data Types, Numerical data types, Exact
and Inexact Numbers), which isn't what we want.
We want the number converted to exact directly from the string and to do
that we have gnc-fq-helper preface it with #e.
It is split into
- /libgnucash (for the non-gui bits)
- /gnucash (for the gui)
- /common (misc source files used by both)
- /bindings (currently only holds python bindings)
This is the first step in restructuring the code. It will need much
more fine tuning later on.
