Question

I try to download some stocks from Google Finance with quantmod in R.

For instance, I want to download the soft bank stocks.

https://www.google.com/finance?q=TYO:9984&ei=f2gFU4j8N6KYwQPVCQ

So I tried 

softbank = getSymbols("TYO%3A9984", from="2010-01-01", to=Sys.Date(), src="google")

or

softbank = getSymbols("TYO:9984", from="2010-01-01", to=Sys.Date(), src="google")

What do I do wrong?

Was it helpful?

Solution

I'm not sure about downloading historic market data for Japanese equities with quantmod, but the RFinanceYJ can do it.

R> library(RFinanceYJ)
R> head(quoteStockXtsData("9984"))
