India stock market quotes do not get retrieved consistently from
Finance::Quotes::Yahoo::Asia module correctly. To mitigate any changes
that Yahoo Finance may do to it's API, MumbaiStock is created as an
alternative stock quotes source for Gnucash.
The module MumbaiStock.pm is based on IndiaMutual.pm. It retrieves
closing prices of stock from the Bombay Stock Exchange.
At end of day, the Bombay Stock Exchange provides stock prices in a zip
file, formatted as a CSV file with ; (semi-colon) as the delimiter. The
MumbaiStock.pm module retrieves the zip file for the last traded day,
extracts the CSV file and updates the stock prices in Gnucash.
The entire source is available at
https://github.com/geetuvaswani/MumbaiStock and the code can be
downloaded as a zip file from
https://github.com/geetuvaswani/MumbaiStock/archive/master.zip.
