Sorry for not being able to reply directly to the related thread, because I was getting mails in daily batches. I have updated my settings for this.
I did make an R script to be included in the quantmod package, but I haven't received any feedback from the community. The script can be found here: https://github.com/wthielen/YJStocks/blob/master/getSymbols.yahooj.R To be able to use it in this shape, you need to do the following: - Include the quantmod library first: library(quantmod) - Load getSymbols.R file from the quantmod source, for some internal dependencies - Pass any "missing" arguments that would be coming from the main getSymbols() call: verbose and auto.assign An example routine would be: library(quantmod) source("/path/to/quantmodpackage/pkg/R/getSymbols.R") source("/path/to/getSymbols.yahooj.R") getSymbols.yahooj("3048.T", verbose=TRUE, auto.assign=TRUE) And then you will see it downloading daily stock data for Biccamera, and assigning it to the "YJ3048.T" xts object. I hope it will be included into the getSymbols.R file from the quantmod package, so that it becomes a standard function. Hope this helps! -- Wouter Thielen [[alternative HTML version deleted]] _______________________________________________ R-SIG-Finance@r-project.org mailing list https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-sig-finance -- Subscriber-posting only.
