[R] Downloading Reuters data from R

[Shubha Vishwanath Karanth]

Hi R,

Can we download Reuters (3000 Xtra) data from R? Does ODBC package help
me in this? Or otherwise, is there a way to extract daily closing prices
data of Reuters from R?

Thank you very much,

Shubha

Hi Shubha

I have created an extension DLL for downloading time series data from Reuters. You can download it from here:

There is also a short manual available at the same location:

I am currently in the process of uploading a separate extension DLL for retrieval of real-time data from Reuters.

Thanks
Rory

Hi Shubha,

I'm replying offlist because although I don't have an answer to your
question, i thought i would point you in the direction of Rmetrics
(http://www.rmetrics.org/rmetricsPackages.htm) as there might be
something in there that may be helpful if you don't get a more direct
answer from your thread. Or maybe a search on r-sig-finance (https://
stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-sig-finance/) might bring up something
helpful to you.

Hope that helps a little bit :-)

Tony Breyal.

Thank you very much for this. But since I don't know much of DLL, I am
kind of a stuck with how to proceed with 'reuters_ts1.zip'. This zip
file contains the 'reuters_ts.dll' file.

dyn.load("reuters_ts.dll") generates the error,

> dyn.load("Z:\\reuters_ts1\\package\\reuters_ts.dll")
Error in inDL(x, as.logical(local), as.logical(now), ...) :
unable to load shared library 'C:/Documents and
Settings/shubhak/reuters_ts1/package/reuters_ts.dll':
LoadLibrary failure: This application has failed to start because the
application configuration is incorrect. Reinstalling the application may
fix this problem.

Where should the 'reuters_ts1.zip' to be stored? And how can I access
'reuters_ts.dll' file for my use? Even checked ?dyn.load, but a bit
confused. How do we use this?

I am sorry, if this troubles. Mine is a Windows XP Config.

Thanks again,
Shubha

I suspect it may be because it cannot find a dependent DLL. I'll email you off-list and we can work through it.

Cheers
Rory
