Trying to download fundamental data using the IBrokers - R package. API documentation shows two ways
or http://xavierib.github.io/twsapidocs/reuters_fundamentals.html
I tried
library(IBrokers)
t <- ibgConnect()
isConnected(t)
[1]TRUE
reqCurrentTime(t)
[1] "2016-03-29 19:51:28 EST"
c <- twsEquity("ibm")
x <- reqFundamentalData(t,c)
Error: could not find function "reqFundamentalData"
The documentation for IBrokers R pkg does not explicitly call out this function - so am I to assume that it is not supported? I have the reuters subscription.
========== Tried Josh Ulrich' suggestion : x <- IBrokers:::reqFundamentalData(t,c) Got an error:
Error in inherits(x, "twscontract") :
argument "contract" is missing with no default
got the same error requesting reqID and reportType. So I modified the code to
r <- reqId(t,numId =1)
[1] "1"
x <- IBrokers:::reqFundamentalData(t,reqId = r, contract = c, reportType = "ReportFinSummary")
x
[1] NULL
Command ran without error but returned NULL
It's not exported, but there is a reqFundamentalData function. You can try it via:
x <- IBrokers:::reqFundamentalData(t,c)
Since it's unexported, I don't know whether or not it works. Feedback would be appreciated.
