[R-SIG-Finance] money market rates download: get.hist.quote

[jeff.a.ryan at gmail.com]

Look at package:quantmod - www.quantmod.com, specifically getSymbols.FRED. Single command access to about 11000 macro series from the Federal Reserve.  Not 100% what your aiming for - but if you know a source that is readliy parsable - tell me - I'll make getSymbols work for it.

Rmetrics had some economagic access - but I have found economagic to be more than a little irratating as you need to parse out the data from nice HTML.

FRED is free and nice.

Hi,

I'm wondering how I can download historical money market rates, i.e. libor,
sovereign debt (from a variety of countries) directly into R using the
get.hist.quote or other function.  Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Alex
