Hi, the bean-price documentation gives an example for getting prices from Google but that source doesn't exist (at least in my V2 install, and doesn't seem to exist in the beanprice standalone GitHub repo either).

I'm not sure which source is "better" (and for my holdings I've found yahoo to be easy) but I think the example in the documents shouldn't rely on a custom source (which is what I assume is being used here)?

I think the importer stopped working when changes were made to the site.
If you'd like to build a new importer, please send a PR.

Hi,

I was trying to answer the same question a few weeks ago.  When I looked into it, I found prior discussions on this group mentioning that the Google source had long since been deprecated.

I also ended up using Yahoo as a source, and was thinking about fiddling a bit more with the various sources and looking at the actual code before suggesting an update to the documentation.

Hope this helps,
Charly
