beanprice question

[Ivan Petrov]

Hello everyone, I'm relatively new to PTA community and trying to deal with each part of beancount setup. I've managed to use great tool beanprice, but see one misbehaviour. 

bean-price -e 'USD:yahoo/ETH-USD' 
gives me
2024-06-15 price ETH-USD 3535.0425 USD
while i obviously want
2024-06-15 price ETH 3535.0425 USD

How can I setup beanprice to return me in a correct way?

Hi Ivan. I've faced a similar issue recently and I think I've got the answer. When using bean-price -e it does not know that how you've set up the commodity. E.g. I have Armenian Drams represented on my ledger as ARMD to not confuse with ARM stocks, but someone who does not have any stocks might set up ARM as Armenian Drams. So bean-price only fetches a ticker you've provided. In. order to get the result you expect, declare a commodity first

; ledger.bean

2024-06-20 commodity USDT
  price: "EUR:coinbase/USDT-EUR"

and then run bean-price against the ledger

> bean-price ledger.bean

2024-06-20 price USDT                             0.932545 EUR

You can add the commodity to your beancount file as:

* Commodities
2015-07-30 commodity ETH
  name: "Ether"
  price: " USD:yahoo/ETH-USD"

Then you can run something like this:
bean-price.exe -vv -i -s --update .\example.beancount
