In eokodie/polygon: R Websocket & REST API client for Polygon

polygon

[](https://www.tidyverse.org/lifecycle/#experimental)

A WebSocket & RESTful API client for polygon.io.

This package is under active development. The API is likely to change and some features are incomplete.

Installation

polygon is not yet on CRAN. You can install from GitHub with:

# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("eokodie/polygon", ref = "main")

Authentication

By default, the polygon R package looks for API keys in environment variables. You can also use this to specify your token. For example:

Sys.setenv(POLYGON_TOKEN = "my-polygon-token")

These can alternatively be set on the command line or via an Renviron.site or .Renviron file.

e.g. In your .Renviron:

POLYGON_TOKEN = "my-polygon-token"

If you don’t have an API key already, you can obtain one from polygon.io.

WebSocket

The WebSocket client is implemented with R6 classes to give a simplified interface. For example, you can connect to Apple Inc’s real-time stock trades stream with the following:

library(polygon)
ws <- polygon::WebSocket$new(cluster = "stocks")
ws$subscribe("T.AAPL")
ws$unsubscribe("T.AAPL")
ws$close()

The polygon package enables connection to 3 real-time clusters. One for each market type:

| Cluster | Websocket Implementation | |:---------------|:------------------------:| | Stocks cluster | :heavy_check_mark: | | Forex Cluster | :heavy_check_mark: | | Crypto Cluster | :heavy_check_mark: |

REST

The REST client is implemented with a functional interface. Below are some examples.

You can download Apple quotes data with:

polygon::get_aggregates(
  ticker     = "AAPL",
  multiplier = 15,
  timespan   = "minute",
  from       = as.Date("2020-11-03"),
  to         = as.Date("2020-11-03")
)
