Hi R users,

 

 

I have a problem in downloading Yahoo Finance data from R. I have tried
an example given in R, to download. The error is given below:

 

>library(fCalendar)

> yahooImport("s=IBM&a=11&b=1&c=1999&d=0&q=31&f=2000&z=IBM&x=.csv ",
file = "D:\\ Downlaod",source = "http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?",
save = FALSE, sep = ";", swap = 20, try = TRUE)

trying URL
'http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=IBM&a=11&b=1&c=1999&d=0&q=31&f=2000
&z=IBM&x=.csv'

Error in download.file(url = url, destfile = file, method = method) : 

        cannot open URL
'http://ichart.yahoo.com/table.csv?s=IBM&a=11&b=1&c=1999&d=0&q=31&f=2000
&z=IBM&x=.csv

In addition: Warning message:

unable to connect to 'ichart.yahoo.com' on port 80. in:
download.file(url = url, destfile = file, method = method) 

[1] "No Internet Access"

> 

 

But the same URL, I can download in the same machine. So, What could be
the problem?

 

BR, Shubha
