LedgerStockUpdate

This application locates any stocks/crypto currencies you have in your ledger-cli file, then generates a price database of those stocks compatible with the application, using quotes from Yahoo Finance.

Forked from adchari/LedgerStockUpdate, add some features:

• Add name mapping functionality: use BTC in your ledger and BTC-USD for online quotes
• Replace API from Alpha Vantage, without the needs of obtaining API token
• Recursively transform the quotes to single currency

Usage

Build the go file, and run as follows:

./[name of executable] -f=[ledger file] -p=[price database file (to create or update)] -b=[Name of ledger binary] -m=[name mapping file]

This should spit out a price database file, which can then be used to calculate the market value in ledger as follows:

ledger -f [ledger file] --price-db [price database file] -V bal
