Extracting data from Yahoo Finance, getSymbols


Do you know what happened with quantmod? The following code worket, but now it is not working.

library(quantmod)
sp <- getSymbols("^GSPC", scr = "yahoo", auto.assign = FALSE)

Could you help me, please, how to update it? Thank you!


Solution

  • tidyquant is built on top of quantmod and is gathering info from Yahoo Finance. Seems to be working.

    library(tidyquant)
    
    tq_get("^GSPC")
