x

A single character string, a character vector or tibble representing a single (or multiple) stock symbol, metal symbol, currency combination, FRED code, etc.
get

A character string representing the type of data to get for x. Options include:

  • "stock.prices": Get the open, high, low, close, volume and adjusted stock prices for a stock symbol from Yahoo Finance. Wrapper for quantmod::getSymbols().

  • "dividends": Get the dividends for a stock symbol from Yahoo Finance. Wrapper for quantmod::getDividends().

  • "splits": Get the split ratio for a stock symbol from Yahoo Finance. Wrapper for quantmod::getSplits().

  • "stock.prices.japan": Get the open, high, low, close, volume and adjusted stock prices for a stock symbol from Yahoo Finance Japan. Wrapper for quantmod::getSymbols.yahooj().

  • "economic.data": Get economic data from FRED. rapper for quantmod::getSymbols.FRED().

  • "quandl": Get data sets from Quandl. Wrapper for Quandl::Quandl(). See also quandl_api_key().

  • "quandl.datatable": Get data tables from Quandl. Wrapper for Quandl::Quandl.datatable(). See also quandl_api_key().

  • "tiingo": Get data sets from Tiingo. Wrapper for riingo::riingo_prices(). See also tiingo_api_key().

  • "tiingo.iex": Get data sets from Tiingo. Wrapper for riingo::riingo_iex_prices(). See also tiingo_api_key().

  • "tiingo.crypto": Get data sets from Tiingo. Wrapper for riingo::riingo_crypto_prices(). See also tiingo_api_key().

  • "alphavantager": Get data sets from Alpha Vantage. Wrapper for alphavantager::av_get(). See also av_api_key().

  • "rblpapi": Get data sets from Bloomberg. Wrapper for Rblpapi. See also Rblpapi::blpConnect() to connect to Bloomberg terminal (required). Use the argument rblpapi_fun to set the function such as "bdh" (default), "bds", or "bdp".

complete_cases

Removes symbols that return an NA value due to an error with the get call such as sending an incorrect symbol "XYZ" to get = "stock.prices". This is useful in scaling so user does not need to add an extra step to remove these rows. TRUE by default, and a warning message is generated for any rows removed.
...

Additional parameters passed to the "wrapped" function. Investigate underlying functions to see full list of arguments. Common optional parameters include:

  • from: Standardized for time series functions in quantmod, quandl, tiingo, alphavantager packages. A character string representing a start date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

  • to: Standardized for time series functions in quantmod, quandl, tiingo, alphavantager packages. A character string representing a end date in YYYY-MM-DD format.

Details

tq_get() is a consolidated function that gets data from various web sources. The function is a wrapper for several quantmod functions, Quandl functions, and also gets data from websources unavailable in other packages. The results are always returned as a tibble. The advantages are (1) only one function is needed for all data sources and (2) the function can be seemlessly used with the tidyverse: purrr, tidyr, and dplyr verbs.

tq_get_options() returns a list of valid get options you can choose from.

tq_get_stock_index_options() Is deprecated and will be removed in the next version. Please use tq_index_options() instead.

Value

Returns data in the form of a tibble object.

  • tq_exchange() to get a ful list of stocks in an exchange.

  • quandl_api_key() to set the api key for collecting data via the "quandl" get option.

  • tiingo_api_key() to set the api key for collecting data via the "tiingo" get option.

  • av_api_key() to set the api key for collecting data via the "alphavantage" get option.
