KMyMoney does no Crypto Currency Price Update any more

SUMMARY:
I use KMyMoney version 5.1.2. on KUbuntu. "Update stock and currency prices" do not work any more with all crypto currencies. As an "Online source" I use Financial Times for all stocks, due to Yahoo Finance is not working any more.

I tried CoinGecko API and added it with direct link https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=bitcoin&vs_currencies=usd and as a bash script. JQ and Curl are installed. 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Use CoinGecko or any other Online Quotes to get the recent Bitcoin rate in USD.
2. Adding a CoinGecko Script or Direct Link in KMyMoney - Configure - Online Quotes
3. Set the Online Source for Bitcoin/BTC to the CoinGecko Script or Direct Link.

OBSERVED RESULT
Error Message with Direct Link to CoinGecko:
Fetching URL https://api.coingecko.com/api/v3/simple/price?ids=bitcoin&vs_currencies=usd...
Identifier found: ''
Unable to update price for ₿itcoin ₿ [BTC] (no price or no date)

Error Message with Script to CoinGecko:
Executing /home/user/cryptocurrency-fetch-price.sh
Identifier found: ''
Price found: '' (0)
Received an invalid price for BTC, unable to update.

EXPECTED RESULT
Get the Online Price Update for Bitcoin.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KUbuntu 22.04
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I also tried different settings, e.g. leaving date and price field blank and changed other settings to no avail.

I was able to extract data from coingecko.com using the latest master versions of Alkimia and KMyMoney. Older versions may not be able to extract the date because they don't support %u as date format but the price should be doable.

Online quote settings generated with Alkimia 8.1.72-45fc9b7-webengine-qtnetwork

The problem persists. It's not solved!

KMyMoney does not update any price or rate at all.

This is most likely a problem with the settings for your price source(s). Please search the forum at https://discuss.kde.org/tag/kmymoney for further information since this is configuration problem not a software bug.
