A script to fetch market data prices from various sources on the internet and render them for plain text accounting price syntax (and Beancount).
This used to be located within Beancount itself (at v2) under beancount.prices. This repo will contain all future updates to that script and to those price sources.
Some documentation is still part of Beancount. More about how to use this can be found on that mailing-list. Otherwise read the source.
To install beanprice, run:
pip install git+https://github.com/beancount/beanprice.gitYou can fetch the latest price of a stock by running:
bean-price -e 'USD:yahoo/AAPL'To fetch the latest prices from your beancount file, first ensure that commodities have price metadata, e.g.
2000-01-01 commodity AAPL
price: "USD:yahoo/AAPL"
Then run:
bean-price ledger.beancountTo update prices up to the present day, run:
bean-price --update ledger.beancountFor more detailed guide for price fetching, read https://beancount.github.io/docs/fetching_prices_in_beancount.html.
