The documentation is likely out of date here, although I'm not sure what is the current default, or if there is any point in actualy having a default. (And I am responsible for the docs, so I only blame myself.) For most people, Yahoo finance stopped working for price updates a long time ago, as they stopped providing that service in a way that can be used by programs. The same is true for several other sources, so you will just have to try multiple sources until you find one which works for you. There have been multiple discussions of this issue on the mailing list and in the forum, and it basically remains an unsolved issue, because when a service changes the layout of the web site, it will stop working in KMM until someone changes the regular expression used to find the necessary data on the page, and then users copy the updated version into their own settings. In addition, there is work going on to add a different method to download stock and currency prices, but there is no estimate when that will be working and available. You might also try Finance::Quote (see the checkbox at the top of the page where you specify the source to use) but I am not certain whether it will work on Windows, and it certainly requires you have Perl and it's Finance::Quote module installed. First, to be clear, the Yahoo quote problem started when Verizon bought them. This is Verizon problem. After having trouble with Yahoo quotes several times after Verizon took over and adjusting my settings at least 2 or 3 times they have been working flawlessly for me for quite a while. I'm hoping I don't jinx myself by mentioning it here. I have not tried "Use Finance:Quote" and probably won't until it's a global setting or Verizon screws up Yahoo quotes again. Here are my settings: URL: https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/quote?fields=regularMarketPrice&symbols=%1 CSV URL: (blank) Identifier: %1 Identified by: Symbol Price: "regularMarketPrice":((\d+|\d{1,3}(?:[,]\d{3})).\d+) Date: "regularMarketTime":([\d]+) Date Format: (blank) Check the box "Skip HTML stripping" ---- Brendan Coupe ---- Brendan Coupe On Tue, Feb 4, 2020 at 7:49 AM Jack <bugzilla_noreply@kde.org> wrote: > > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=417142 > > --- Comment #1 from Jack <ostroffjh@users.sourceforge.net> --- > The documentation is likely out of date here, although I'm not sure what is the > current default, or if there is any point in actualy having a default.

Created attachment 125679 [details] attachment-325-0.html Hi Brendan,Thanks for the responds. Unfortunately, the entries did not work. The error message was: CSV source Yahoo Finance does not exist. Looks like I'll have to continue searching.

Maybe a Windows 10 issue? I'm running on Fedora with the latest build from the master branch. I don't think it's a KMM version issue since it's been working for me for a while, probably before 5.0.6. (In reply to baramire from comment #3) > The error message was: CSV source Yahoo Finance does not exist. I think we may be confusing different issues here. Brendan is talking about changes made to the Yahoo service, which cause retrieving prices to fail, but I think the error is about not finding the price or date. This seems to be about not even finding the Yahoo Finance source itself. Baramire - I'm specifically curious about the "CSV source Yahoo Finance does not exist." Where did you make the changes Brendan suggested? Also, did you perhaps put something in the CSV URL field, instead of leaving it blank? If you were trying to get a price for a specific equity, when you edit that equity, what source is selected on the last page of the wizard? Separately, when you click Settings / Configure KMyMoney and select the Online Quotes entry, what are the last few entries on the list of sources, specifically all those starting with "Yahoo ..." I see Yahoo, Yahoo Canada, Yahoo Currency, Yahoo France, and Yahoo UK, but not Yahoo Finance.
