Hi again,
I was trying to download stock market data from below link :
https://www.nseindia.com/products/content/equities/equities/archieve_eq.htm
Input choice :
Select Report: Bhavcopy
Date(DD-MM-YYYY): 03-03-2010
If you put manual input as above, then we will get option for manual
download of file :
cm03MAR2010bhav.csv.zip
However I then tried to use R to have some automatic download :
> download.file('https://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2010/MAR/cm03MAR2010bhav.csv.zip', 'aa.zip')
trying URL 'https://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2010/MAR/cm03MAR2010bhav.csv.zip'
Error in download.file("https://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2010/MAR/cm03MAR2010bhav.csv.zip",
:
cannot open URL
'https://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2010/MAR/cm03MAR2010bhav.csv.zip'
In addition: Warning message:
In download.file("https://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2010/MAR/cm03MAR2010bhav.csv.zip",
:
cannot open URL
'https://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2010/MAR/cm03MAR2010bhav.csv.zip':
HTTP status was '403 Forbidden'
Ofcourse I I place below direct link
'https://www.nseindia.com/content/historical/EQUITIES/2010/MAR/cm03MAR2010bhav.csv.zip'
in address-bar of my Chrome, I am denied permission
Do you have any idea what is going on here? Do I need to get some setting?
Any pointer will be highly appreciated.
