Broken refresh exchange rates #412

Open ppjuarez opened 6 years ago

ppjuarez commented 6 years ago

The exchange rates are broken on the app, is it possible to fix this or is there any way to set the exchange rate manually?

marcin-kozinski commented 6 years ago

I tried looking into this a bit (as another user with the same problem, not as maintainer or contributor). Seems the problem is that Financius uses Yahoo Finance API for the exchange rates. And Yahoo stopped offering the API...

Yea, it would be great to set the rate manually.

Hi there!

Were you guys able to solve this issue?

For some currencies the app doesn't work properly and doesn't do the money conversion (for example: GBP, NZD,..). so if I wanna set my new "account" in those currencies, the money exchange rate is always 1, even it's not true (for example 1 NZD would show as 1 CHF).

I don't see the option to set it manually.

Thanks for advises!

Unfortunately I haven't found a way to solve it. My app still uses old exchange rates that it downloaded a few months ago, last when the Yahoo API was still working. If you installed the app recently or added some new currencies it's going to use a default of 1.

You can still enter exchange rates manually when you add transfers between accounts. I think this broken exchange rate only affects calculating the total of all your accounts. So maybe something you can live with.

I'll definitely post here if I figure out a way to update the rates in the app!

Thank you very much for your promt respond.

I've read some stuff about manual setting the exchange rate if the phone is rooted. So I'll see what are the options. I will be checking if you post something new about it. The option for a manual exchange rate would be awesome.

Anyway I appreciate your hardwork and this simple "clean" app, which replaced my spreadsheet long time ago :D

Sincerely Marie :)

Ha, you're welcome. Just to be clear, I am not the developer of the app, just another happy user. But +1 to your appreciation of Mantas' hard work!

Hello, I've just discovered this issue and I'd like to know if it's possible to solve it or if I should start looking for some -not dead- app and ways to import json data. I've use is since 2015 and I've been thinking of creating a python notebook for data analysis, since the export here is so easy. But since currencies exchanges are so important for me (my country's currency is continuously devaluing), I don't know if my data is actually accurate. I hope this gets solved, Thanks in advance.
