Fetching collections of prices
Collections are just a bundle of tickers pre-organized in the
package. For example, collection SP500
represents the
current composition of the SP500 index.
The available collections are:
available_collections <- yfR::yf_get_available_collections(
print_description = TRUE
)
##
## ── Description of Available Collections ──
##
## ℹ SP500: The SP500 index (US MARKET) - Ticker = ^GSPC
## ℹ IBOV: The Ibovespa index (BR MARKET) - Ticker = ^BVSP
## ℹ FTSE: The FTSE index (UK MARKET) - Ticker = ^FTSE
## ℹ DOW: The DOW index (US MARKET) - Ticker = ^DJI
## ℹ testthat-collection: A (small) testing index for testthat() -- dev stuff, dont use it!
available_collections
## [1] "SP500" "IBOV" "FTSE"
## [4] "DOW" "testthat-collection"
One can download the composition of the collection with
yf_collection_get
:
library(yfR)
# be patient, it takes a while
df_yf <- yf_collection_get("SP500")
head(df_yf)
