Hi R users,
Thanks in advance.
I am using R 2.12.0 on Windows XP.
May I request you to assist me in the following please.
1. I am getting error while downloading quote data from yahoo finance.
The example code is below (taken from tseries help):
library(tseries)
con <- url("http://quote.yahoo.com";)
if(!inherits(try(open(con), silent = TRUE), "try-error")) {
close(con)
x <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "^gspc", start = "1998-01-01",
quote = "Close")
plot(x)
x <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "ibm", quote = c("Cl", "Vol"))
plot(x, main = "International Business Machines Corp")
spc <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "^gspc", start = "1998-01-01",
quote = "Close")
ibm <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "ibm", start = "1998-01-01",
quote = "AdjClose")
x <- merge(spc, ibm)
plot(x, main = "IBM vs S&P 500")
x <- get.hist.quote(instrument = "EUR/USD", provider = "oanda",
start = Sys.Date() - 500)
plot(x, main = "EUR/USD")
}
Error message:
Warning message:
In open.connection(con) :
unable to connect to 'quote.yahoo.com' on port 80.
2. How can I download Key Statistics Data from Yahoo Finance
A. http://finance.yahoo.com/
B. ASH.AX (Using GET QUOTES)
C. Key Statistics
How can I download Key Statistics dynamically (Using R code)
Thank you very much for the time you have given.

Deb
