ParseTrueFX: Parse TrueFX response

In TrueFX: R API to TrueFX

Description

Parse the results of a TrueFX query.

Usage

  ParseTrueFX(x, pretty = TRUE)

Arguments

x	The response from a TrueFX request. Can be any of the three formats: default, csv or html
pretty	logical. If TRUE (Default), output will be converted to a data.frame and columns will be converted from character to the appropriate classes and combined.

Details

This function will parse the results of a call to QueryTrueFX. It can handle any of the three TrueFX response formats: “default”, “csv”, or “html”. By default, it will convert the results into a nicely formatted data.frame. If, called with pretty=FALSE, a list of strings will be returned.

All times are in GMT

Value

By default, a data.frame is returned that has columns “Bid.Price”, “Ask.Price”, “High”, “Low”, and “TimeStamp”. If called with pretty=FALSE, a list of character vectors – named “Symbol”, “BidBigNumber”, “BidPip”, “OfferBigNumber”, “OfferPip”, “High”, “Low”, “TimeStamp” – will be returned.

If the format is “html”, there will also be an “Open” column

Note

Although the TrueFX Market Data Web API Developer Guide indicates that both the “csv” and “html” formats include values for “Open”, only the “html” format actually does.
