Hi, I've used this Extn for years, all OK. I only update 1 stock.
It broke when I updated to the latest MD (2017.3 (1622)). It basically wouldn't do anything.
So I then updated then Extn and still nothing.
Today I deleted and resinstalled the extension to v1015. I finally got it to do something, but it shows an error and does not update my prices. On the status bar showing a 403 error. See screenshot.

Help?!

   Hi Stuart,

   Thank you for supplying the version and build number of your current Moneydance environment.

   You need to update your version to the latest build - currently MD 2017.6 (1656). It contains the required security certificate for Alphavantage.
   Provided that you did not purchase Moneydance thru the Apple Store, you can d/l the current version here:
   http://infinitekind.com/download-moneydance-personal-finance-software

   Alternately, take a look at this free, third-party option.

   Thanks. I do not use Alphavantage, just Yahoo finance quotes?

   I am not support staff, just a user.

   Yahoo closed it's quote API so Moneydance had to introduce Alpha Vantage to replace it.
   To use Alpha Vantage you have to update Moneydance from https://infinitekind.com/download-moneydance-personal-finance-software as recommended by Kevin N.

   The only way to continue to use Yahoo is to use the stand-alone program see http://help.infinitekind.com/discussions/investments/3036-third-par...

   Hope this helps

   Hi Stuart,

   I see that forum member derekkent23 has already replied while I was composing my reply...

   It is my understanding that the Quotes and Exchange Rates (Q&ER) updater can no longer retrieve stock quotes via yahoo.finance.

   You'll need the free, API key from Alphavantage.
   Enter it where required in the Q&ER updater.
   Finally, set the 'Security Price' drop down list of the Q&ER updater to 'Alphavantage'.

   OK, thanks for this. I humbly suggest that the Yahoo option is deleted..!
   Anyway, it’s now fixed. I updated to latest MD version, and with the key and all OK again!!!

   Thanks, Stuart B
