Hi List,



Several weeks after posting on this list if there exists a R Factset API, I found out that there is one...but with a catch. 

BUT, it seems it has just been finalized which I guess is the reason they haven't publicized it much yet even internally (hence the reason I had to wait so long to get a feedback). It seems to use Curl (Factset words, I personally do not know anything about Curl) to allow R to query Factset via web calls (I do not know more about it)

The catch as often with Factset is that the API has an additional cost (final pricing not decided, in the single digit thousands of GBP/year/user apparently...) which comes of course on top of the Factset license...

Tought it might help some people which might be looking for it



Rgds,
Julien
