I have been having trouble retrieving some TSE series from yahoo:
> require("quantmod")
> getSymbols("BMO.TO", dbname="yahoo")
works but
> getSymbols("COS.TO", dbname="yahoo")
appears to have worked but has actually failed:
> str(COS.TO)
An 'xts' object of zero-width
It seems to be getting the header, but no data. I have also tried with
Google Finance:
> getSymbols("TSE:COS", dbname="google")
Error in download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=",
from.m, :
cannot open URL
'http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=TSE:COS&a=0&b=01&c=2007&d=6&e=11&f=2012&g=d&q=q&y=0&z=TSE:COS&x=.csv'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m, :
cannot open: HTTP status was '404 Not Found'
I'm not sure if I have the syntax correct for indicating an exchange on
google. Does anyone have suggestions?
Thanks,
Paul
