getQuote.google: getQuote from Google

In qmao: Quantmod Add-on

Description

getQuote.google is a getQuote "method" for Google, although it may be called directly.

Usage

  getQuote.google(Symbols, ...)

Arguments

Symbols	character vector of ticker symbols, or a comma or semi-colon separated string
...	not currently in use

Details

This pulls real-time market data for stocks with tickers specified by Symbols. Although this is not a documented API, it is used by the Google finance website. The data should only be used for personal use.

Only 100 Symbols may be requested from google at a time. If getQuote.google is called with more than 100 Symbols, blocks of 100 Symbol calls will be made and the results will be put in a single data.frame. This part of the code is mostly copied from Jeff Ryan's getQuote.yahoo

Value

a data.frame with rownames corresponding to the ticker symbols, and having the following columns: "TradeTime", "Last", "Change", "PctChg", "Exchange", "GoogleID"
