getCalendarBy: Get a calendar over more than one time period from yahoo's...

In qmao: Quantmod Add-on

Description

Given a from and to argument, download a calendar from every time period between those Dates, and merge them together into a data.frame.

Usage

  getCalendarByDay(FUN, from, to)

  getCalendarByWeek(FUN, from, to)

  getCalendarByMonth(FUN, from, to)

Arguments

FUN	a function to be applied to all time periods between from and to.
from	first time period contains this Date
to	last time period contains this Date

Details

These functions take a function that is designed to only download a calendar over a single timeperiod. They then apply that function over as many timeperiods as necessary to create a complete calendar from from to to.

Currently, .getEarningsCalendar and .getEconomicCalendarBriefing are used by getCalendarByDay, .getEconomicCalendarYahoo is used by getCalendarByWeek, and .getMergersCalendar is used by getCalendarsByMonth

Hopefully new ones will be written soon; Splits are in the works (which will use getCalendarByMonth as well as Earnings Surprises (which will use getCalendarByDay.)
