Equities Data
Hi Jeff, Yes, but they only offer dividends not splits. I;ve been working off of sites like this and looking to automate it somehow, hopefully through R.

Yes, I'm willing to pay for it, but I would like to get it automatically into a format I can parse and use, not even sure where that exists at the moment. (Doesn't Yahoo Finance get their data from CSI?) Ralph Vince On Thu, Sep 6, 2012 at 12:04 PM, G See <gsee000 at gmail.com> wrote:

The only way I know of to get out of maintaining it by hand is to pay for data. On the GUI side, Bloomberg, Factset, and Reuters have all been mentioned already I think. Rbbg of course talks to Bloomberg. On the other vendor side, I think Interactive Brokers has this data, and it may be available via the IBrokers package if it is available via the IB API. Additional vendors, such as CSIdata, tickdata.com, Reuters, CRSP, Telekurs, etc all sell this data, at varying prices and quality.
Interactive Brokers does provide an "Upcoming Dividend Schedule" for stocks, but it is a rough estimate that is often wrong. Also, I don't think you can get it from their API (although if someone knows how, please speak up). I think you have to go into the GUI, right-click a stock and select Dividend Schedule. -Garrett
