Subject: European mutual funds identified by ISIN are not retrieved correctly
Many European mutual funds have started using ISINs instead of traditional ticker symbols. Using an ISIN in finance-quote 1.14 succeeds in retrieving a price, but at least in the gnucash implementation the date and currency are broken. Using the ticker symbols in yahoo_europe.t works: $gnc-fq-dump yahoo_europe BAY.L Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses: symbol: BAY.L <=== required date: 10/17/2008 <=== required currency: GBP <=== required last: 1.271 <=\ nav: <=== one of these price: 1.271 <=/ timezone: <=== optional but a request by ISIN only partially succeeds: $gnc-fq-dump yahoo_europe GB0001036531GBP Finance::Quote fields Gnucash uses: symbol: GB0001036531GBP <=== required date: 00/00/2000 <=== required currency: ** missing ** <=== required last: 107.30 <=\ nav: <=== one of these price: 107.30 <=/ timezone: <=== optional ** This stock quote cannot be used by gnucash!! The price quote agrees with the one retrieved via the web interface on the Yahoo Europe site. The date failure looks like the same one in 1.13 once yahoo_europe change their d1 t1 behavior. The currency failure is probably related, since it is last in the list and gets bamboozled by the d1t1 problem.

This is expected behaviour since ISIN is not (yet) supported by yahoo_europe perldoc Finance::Quote::Yahoo::Europe will tell you that the module expects SYMBOL.EXCHANGE as format. This "bug report" will therefor be classified as a "feature request" -- Erik

OK. I thought some of the comments on the sourceforge tracker had patches that accomplished this. My bad.

I'm not sure if this is generic enough not to interfere with the usual ticker definitions, but a gnucash user found something that worked for his fund retrieval needs. https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2008-March/024211.html

Hello David, Thank you for your research and patch. Yahoo Europe is returning weird answers on standard requests since a few months. This is not the case for other yahoo sites however. That's why my patch for correcting date/time issues were local to Yahoo/Europe.pm. I'm afraid that modifying the request string might break quote retrieval on other exchanges ? Even if tests pass, there might be some people getting errors for specific quotes. I think it is probably possible to leave the request string unmodified while handling ISIN codes separately. For this I'd need some tests to be added to yahoo_europe.t to check for ISIN codes. It would be great if you could send me some ? Thanks -- Erik

If Yahoo decides to break another region, we probably would be in trouble again. Show quoted text

If you mean some ISIN codes, here's a few in different currencies: DK0016260003DKK LU0278527428EUR IT0003110860ITA GB0003243465GBP Dave

Looking at uk.finance, it looks like the more precise description of these things would be ISIN-based fund symbols. The ISIN is the combination of letters and numbers up to the final currency symbol. Appending the 3 character currency type to the ISIN creates the symbol yahoo europe uses to retrieve the quote. I have no clue why the ITA fund returns euros and/or isn't designated with EUR.

hello David, hmmm... these 2 symbols do exist and they return 2 different quotes : IT0003110860ITA and IT0003110860EUR both do have the EUR currency though... however, IT0003110860 doesn't return any data. but : yahoo seems to be able to see that DK0016260003DKK and DK0016260003 (ISIN code) are equal and both return the same data. I didn't check the other symbols you sent, but I guess ISIN code would be enough if there is no ambiguity... regards -- Erik Colson http://www.ecocode.net

A further complication, it looks like the British funds are coming back in pence (GBp) rather than pounds (GBP). I thought finance-quote already handled that, but at least in my patch it isn't.

yep, the point is to be able to limit the impact of a 'local' site change of yahoo on other site modules. Show quoted text

David, I've been checking these ISIN's and they seem to be funds, not stocks. When checking DE0005140008.DE (ISIN code of DBK.DE with .DE added, which is a stock) yahoo returns the exact same line as for DBK.DE. So finance::quote doesn't find a line with "DE0005140008.DE" in the returned .csv and will then report this request as 'bogus'. My conclusion is : - for checking ISIN codes of stocks : check the returned .csv and use the listed symbol for querying yahoo. or use the online yahoo lookup form to find the corresponding symbol of the stock. - for funds: yahoo europe returns another format in .csv for fund requests than stock requests. It even returns more fields. We should therefor create a new module (maybe based on yahoo_europe and using your query string) called something like 'yahoo_europe_funds.pm' which would handle the .csv returned by yahoo correctly. Please tell me if this analysis corresponds to your needs. Writing a new module isn't dramatic if the query-string and .csv handling is known. -- Erik

Hi David, hmmm... is this related to querying fund quotes with your patched version ? if not, please send me a quote symbol which returns 'GBp' as currency For info: on my system BAY.L returns GBP as currency (it is in the yahoo_europe.t test also) regards -- erik

If I go to the uk.yahoo web site and ask for a quote for GB0003243465GBP, the quote that comes back is labelled "p". I don't know exactly what it's passing to f-q. But the one gnucash user that's been testing my attempted patch says that all his fund quotes are coming back (ending up in gnucash) 100x the real value. Also as far as I know, the only people concerned are those looking for fund quotes. Anyone looking for stock quotes uses a standard ticker.exchange symbol. It appears that only the funds have quit using the formerly common ticker symbols and switched to ISIN-based id's. (at least in yahoo europe.)

I think the third option might be pretty brittle in the face of yahoo's inconsistencies. The first option seems like more work than is warranted. I think the yahoo_europe_isinfunds.pm idea works, both from the standpoint of limited coding required and explaining to gnucash users what they need to change to finally get fund quotes working again. From what I've seen, as long as the finance-quote hash comes back intelligibly, gnucash can use the data correctly. The two not-so-visible issues are that the time has to parse on the gnucash end (they can even simplify their stuff by using isodate and time instead of using DateManip), and someone has to be sure that the decimal place is in the right position. (I think there are 2 or three data sources that at least sometimes report hundredths of main currency units, like pence instead of pounds in the yahoo_europe British fund listings.)

The file Finance/Quote/Yahoo/Base.pm has logic in it to convert GBp to GBP. Sounds like this code isn't getting triggered for these quotes. David

Yes. That'd be because you don't/can't set the exchange for the fund quotes, so it's never the case that $exchange = L (the first half of the scaling test). Dave

Here is a monkey-see monkey-do approach to a separate module for the ISIN-based symbol quote retrieval. I added the pence to pounds conversion here since the fund quotes won't trigger the correction test in Base.pm. I am mystified, however, by the fact that this module sees the currency as "GBP" already. I know Yahoo Europe is sending "GBp" in the raw data. If I add an additional test in Base.pm to do the scaling for fund quotes there, it has to look for "GBp", but the test in EuropeFund.pm must look for "GBP" or it fails. One advantage of this module over my attempts to reorder FIELDS or FIELD_ENCODING in yahoo_europe is that quotes retrieved from this module have no errormsg entry.

That's ancient history (I think). That part was just copied over from the yahoo europe pm. As far as I know, all finance-quote modules live strictly in finance-quote. There is one interface perl script in gnucash that chats with finance-quote to request and parse data, but all the rest is handled by finance-quote. As far as I'm concerned, the mention of gnucash could be removed in this case as long as former contributors wouldn't be unhappy. Since I only added/changed about 10 lines of code, I didn't think I could remove other documentation. Dave
