ledgerquote

ledgerquote, or lq, is a small command line utility for downloading quotes for a Ledger CLI price file.

Usage

Get quotes for current day

Usage: lq <pricefile>
  -config string
        Config file to use
  -from string
        Date range start (inclusive)
  -nooverwrite
        Don't overwrite existing prices (default false)
  -to string
        Date range end (inclusive)

By default lq looks for configuration file ~/.lqrc for configuration.

Examples

Updated all prices in file prices.dat only for todays date:

> lq prices.dat

Updated all prices in file prices.dat for today's date, but do not overwrite existing prices:

> lq prices.dat --nooverwrite

Updated all prices in file prices.dat from given start date (inclusive) 2021-01-01 until today (inclusive):

> lq prices.dat --from 2021-01-01

Updated all prices in file prices.dat from given start date (inclusive) 2021-01-01 until given end date (inclusive):

> lq prices.dat --from 2021-01-01 --to 2021-01-10

Updated all prices in file prices.dat, given a specific configuration file as input

> lq prices.dat --config lq.conf

Configuration file

By default lq looks for, and uses, configuration file ~/.lqrc. In this file you can specify

Here is an example file:

file=~/prices.dat
nooverwrite

Which specifies that lq should always use the --nooverwrite flag and it should always use the input file ~/prices.dat. With such a config file, one could simply run:

> lq

which, without the config file, would correspond to running:

> lq ~/prices.dat --nooverwrite
