Morningstar: Can't retrieve prices anymore

[Djobydjoba]

Bad news, quotes can't be retrieved from Morningstar anymore. They have revamped their web sites.

Is a fix possible?

Price retrieval from Morningstar UK not working for me either today.
A fix would be appreciated.

Thanks for the notice, let me take a look...

It appears all of the Morningstar servers aren't working (except Morningstar AU - Funds), and unfortunately won't be fixable for use with Fund Manager. You now need a fully functional web browser to be able to view their quotes online.

For UK funds I am using Financial Times (both sites) for Default and secondary.

In properties - symbol you need the ISIN with the postscript ':GBP' or ':GBX'. The latter is a matter of trial and error or more scientifically look up the ISIN on the FT Funds website.

IT is a slow process to change some 50 of so historical securities as well as 'live', but this does work.

AN automated version would be even better.

Thanks for the feedback/info.

I'm curious if this site also offers the fund quotes you were used to getting on Morningstar:

https://eodhd.com/

We're considering it as a replacement. They seem to cover a wide variety of exchanges, and should be fast/stable because it is API based, so you wouldn't need to change symbols once set up.

Hi Mark,

Interesting. I've tried with several several French / European funds, they're all available on this site. I'll continue testing but seems a good source.

But I've noticed something that might be a bit annoying: for a major part of the funds I've tested there's often a slight price difference. The price is not exactly the same as other sources (like FT), and I'm quite sure the official price is on FT and other sources (because they all display the same price).

Examples:

As of July 4, for DE0009769869
EODHD: 609.4027
FT: 610.32
Investing: 610,32

As of July 3, for FR0010321802
EODHD: 1951.7035
FT: 1,957.08
Investing: 1.957,080
Boursorama: 1 957,08

As of July 3, for FR0010262436
EODHD: 3047.6658
FT: 3,048.53
Investing: 3.048,530
Boursorama: 3 048,53

And the same for most funds I've tested.

It would be interesting to know why this difference. Maye prices for the funds are not the official close prices from the fund firm, but prices from a specific exchange.
