Dear Experts
I am new to this forum and to R and was trying the following to access a
zip file from the webpages of the NSE. Here is my code.
temp <- tempfile()
download.file("
http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/DERIVATIVES/2014/JUL/fo09JUL2014bhav.csv.zip
",temp)
con <- unz(temp, "a1.dat")
data <- matrix(scan(con),ncol=4,byrow=TRUE)
unlink(temp)
The result is:
cannot open URL '
http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/DERIVATIVES/2014/JUL/fo09JUL2014bhav.csv.zip
'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file("
http://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/DERIVATIVES/2014/JUL/fo09JUL2014bhav.csv.zip";,
:
cannot open: HTTP status was '403 Forbidden'
I tried accessing this file directly from the website and it is letting me
access it. My question is why is it not letting me download from R? I have
gone through some websites to see if this has been resolved but the older
resolutions also do not work. Can someone help please?
Thx
Balaji
