I'm trying to retrieve a quote for "GB00B4XB7L79". If you google it you find it in many pages including yahoo, FT, morningstar etc... so I would assume that it should be easy to find. Any ideas ?
thanks

Funds can tricky to get quotes for. While taking a quick look at this, the FT Funds module in Finance::Quote has not been modified since 2010 and likely needs to be updated. For instance to get the data from markets.ft.com, the suffix :GBP needs to be appended to the ISIN for this fund. Suggest you go to https://github.com/finance-quote/finance-quote and open an issue. We are getting ready to release Finance::Quote v1.50, but this may be an easy enough fix to be included in v1.51.

I was the original author of UK funds (which includes FT funds) but since I sold all my funds and shares several years ago I no longer need this functionality and have not maintained it. As it works basically by screen-scraping, any change to the underlying web-pages potentially requires a change to the FT funds module. It will now be hopelessly out of date and most likely needs a fundamental rewrite from scratch. I’m now fully occupied with other projects and don’t have the time nor the need for this.
I posted these modules on github so that they could be maintained by the community but it seems very few people have used them - this is the first enquiry I’ve seen in several years.

Thank you for your response Martin.
There has been recent work done in preparation for releasing v1.50. This included attempting to identify those modules that are no longer working. Some of those have been updated, while some have been removed. In testing v1.50, I was able to get data for GB00B4XB7L79 from the FTFunds.pm module. Odd, since it was not one of the modules updated.
I would like to update the test file, since most of the funds used as test cases are no longer valid.
