1. Does anyone know of a DB we can access to populate entries for coins?

2. If none exist which protocol that tellico uses would one suggest for such a query?

3. I have had little luck in finding info on the DB query protocols used in tellico. So, I also need a link, suggestion to info about the protocol suggested above.

Thanks, kurtRR

There isn't one currently shipped.

Tellico is rather generic, it can execute any script or download any URL that returns data in a format it can understand, which is either Tellico's own XML, CSV, or bibtex right now. In other words, Tellico doesn't have a DB query protocol. You'd include that in your script and then Tellico would execute it.

The other option is to write the C++ code to integrate some sort of database access in Tellico, which one could do, of course. But so many data sources are in JSON or XML already that the easiest option is just to write the script (which can be in anything executable - shell, python, perl, ruby, etc.)
