[R] Downloading Reuters data from R

[Rory.WINSTON at rbs.com]

Hi Shubha

I have created an extension DLL for downloading time series data from Reuters. You can download it from here:

There is also a short manual available at the same location:

I am currently in the process of uploading a separate extension DLL for retrieval of real-time data from Reuters.

Thanks
Rory

Hi R,



Can we download Reuters (3000 Xtra) data from R? Does ODBC package help me in this? Or otherwise, is there a way to extract daily closing prices data of Reuters from R?





Thank you very much,

Shubha
