How can I download data from yahoo finance at Rstudio? I get the following error:
Error in download.file (paste (yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "& amp = a", from.m,: can not open URL ' link '
library(quantmod)
library(xts)
library(zoo)
library(TTR)
## Indice de Referencia IPC
## Creando un nuevo ambiente
IPC<- new.env()
## Obteniendo datos desde yahoo finance
getSymbols("MXX", env = IPC, src = "yahoo", from = as.Date("2014-10-20"), to = as.Date("2016-10-26")
)
It seems to be a Yahoo problem. The complete error is this:
Error in download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m, :
cannot open URL 'https://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=BAL&a=0&b=01&c=2007&d=4&e=17&f=2017&g=d&q=q&y=0&z=BAL&x=.csv'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", Symbols.name, "&a=", from.m, :
cannot open URL 'https://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=BAL&a=0&b=01&c=2007&d=4&e=17&f=2017&g=d&q=q&y=0&z=BAL&x=.csv': HTTP status was '502 Connection refused'
Where the most interesting part says HTTP status was '502 Connection refused' . On the other hand if you try to access the url: link , you will have a nice page that tells you that they will be back soon.
