TSE ticker problems
Jeff I've switched back and forth between chart.yahoo.com and ichart.finance.yahoo.com. Some things seem to fail on one or the other. I made yahoo.URL an argument so I could pass it, and looped through a list trying the second if the first failed. Currently BBD.B.TO fails with both, but it worked on the default URL yesterday. I'm pausing for 2 seconds between each retrieval, so I don't think yahoo should be blocking me. In addition, I had not noticed the gap that Garrett just pointed out. Paul

The format that getSymbols uses internally is: http://chart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=COS.TO&a=0&b=01&c=2007&d=6&e=11&f=2012&g=d&q=q&y=0&z=COS.TO&x=.csv Which somehow doesn't resolve to the data in this instance. I'll investigate. Thanks, Jeff On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 2:42 PM, G See <gsee000 at gmail.com> wrote:
But... I see plenty of data there... including a link to "Download to Spreadsheet" http://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=COS.TO&d=6&e=11&f=2012&g=d&a=7&b=13&c=1996&ignore=.csv On Wed, Jul 11, 2012 at 2:39 PM, Doug Edmunds <dougedmunds at gmail.com> wrote:
On http://finance.yahoo.com/q/hp?s=COS.TO , the link to Historical Prices has no data. Probably why you only get headers.
getSymbols("COS.TO", src="yahoo")
