getSymbols.yahoo does not follow redirect to HTTPS #149

SamoPP · 2017-04-18T06:27:16Z

It might be that Yahoo again changed something since today download is not working for me any more... I have tried the below many times on many different symbols but no luck...

Same problem. It seams that yahoo changed this.

joshuaulrich · 2017-04-18T13:27:19Z

This appears to be caused by a redirection from HTTP to HTTPS. I'm running R-3.3.3 with libcurl capabilities, so this still works, but with a warning.

joshuaulrich · 2017-04-18T15:15:15Z

@SamoPP But you're using an older version of R (3.3.1). That version might not automatically attempt to switch to libcurl in order to follow a redirect.

SamoPP · 2017-04-18T15:17:55Z

Well, what is funny is this...

If I run the above in terminal I get the error. If I run the above in StatET in Eclipse I get the error. If I run the same thing in RStudio it works...

I hate changing R versions since doing that every now and then breaks a whole lot of things...

actuariat · 2017-04-18T15:23:09Z

I'm using R 3.3.2 it won't work in R, but it works in RStudio.

zerodf · 2017-04-18T16:01:16Z

Confirmed that this issue affects R 3.3.1. It works from RStudio, but fails when run from RScript.

Yahoo Finance is now redirecting HTTP requests to HTTPS. Some users' R installations are not able to follow this redirect, so they error. Use HTTPS directly for Yahoo Finance and Yahoo Finance Japan. Fixes #149.

joshuaulrich · 2017-04-18T17:33:56Z

Just pushed a patch to branch 149_yahoo_https. Works for me on Ubuntu. Would be great to have confirmation it works on Windows and MacOS.

SamoPP · 2017-04-18T17:54:14Z

Looks good for getSymbols(). Thanks Now just adjustOHLC() is not wrking... :)

rmicalet · 2017-04-18T18:57:38Z

Doesn't quite seem to work for Windows (but I'm not an R guru so I could easily be mistaken). I'm running R 3.1.2.

I tried the following code:

symbol 		<- "SPY"
from		<- "2016-04-17"
to			<- "2017-04-17"
yahoo.URL 	<- "https://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv?"
from.y 		<- as.numeric(strsplit(as.character(as.Date(from, origin = "1970-01-01")), "-", )[[1]][1])
from.m 		<- as.numeric(strsplit(as.character(as.Date(from, origin = "1970-01-01")), "-", )[[1]][2]) - 1
from.d 		<- as.numeric(strsplit(as.character(as.Date(from, origin = "1970-01-01")), "-", )[[1]][3])
to.y 		        <- as.numeric(strsplit(as.character(as.Date(to,   origin = "1970-01-01")), "-", )[[1]][1])
to.m 		<- as.numeric(strsplit(as.character(as.Date(to,   origin = "1970-01-01")), "-", )[[1]][2]) - 1
to.d 		        <- as.numeric(strsplit(as.character(as.Date(to,   origin = "1970-01-01")), "-", )[[1]][3])
verbose		<- TRUE
tmp 		<- tempfile()

download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", symbol, "&a=", from.m, "&b=", sprintf("%.2d", from.d), "&c=", from.y, "&d=", to.m, "&e=", sprintf("%.2d", to.d), "&f=", to.y, "&g=d&q=q&y=0", "&z=", symbol, "&x=.csv", sep = ""), destfile = tmp, quiet = !verbose)

fr 			<- read.csv(tmp)
unlink(tmp)

And got the following error:
"Error in download.file(paste(yahoo.URL, "s=", symbol, "&a=", from.m, "&b=", :
unsupported URL scheme"

That was the same code that had worked prior to yesterday with the exception of the change in the yahoo url.

Best regards.

joshuaulrich · 2017-04-18T19:55:25Z

@SamoPP Good catch. That's getSplits() and getDividends(). getQuote(), getFinancials(), getOptionsChain(), etc are likely affected also. Will grep for all HTTP calls and patch them.

@rmicalet R-3.1.2 is 2.5 years old and HTTPS wasn't supported and used as a default on all platforms until R-3.3.0. So that's the likely cause of your issue, not the code in getSymbols().

rmicalet · 2017-04-18T20:23:08Z

Ok, updated to R 3.3.3 and everything seems to work. Thank you!

SamoPP · 2017-04-18T21:05:10Z

Just pulled 149_yahoo_https branch, built it and tested on ubuntu. Works for me now. Thank you!

actuariat · 2017-04-20T09:16:49Z

I still have Problems in R 3.1.1 (I know it's old but it's the only version that runs in raspberry pi) with the new version quantmod 0.4-8.

joshuaulrich · 2017-04-20T14:32:14Z

@actuariat As I said earlier, HTTPS wasn't supported and used as a default on all platforms until R-3.3.0.

I just pushed a branch (your username) that replaces download.file with quantmod::try.download.file, which uses the downloader package to attempt to work-around HTTPS issues. I used that to patch getSymbols.FRED in July-2015 (R-3.3.0 was released in May-2016). Give that a shot and see if it works for you.

Note to self: quantmod::try.download.file might be helpful in a solution for #135.

I see this bug has been closed (and getSymbols.yahoo works for me now), but I just want to report that adjustOHLC still doesn't work.

joshuaulrich · 2017-04-22T12:17:46Z

@my-R-help It works for me and others, so you need to provide more information than "still doesn't work" in order to help me debug. At minimum, please provide the error and the output from sessionInfo().

Interesting, I just realized that it works like this:

adjustOHLC(x)

But it does NOT work like this:

joshuaulrich · 2017-04-22T13:00:14Z

adjustOHLC() attempts to infer the symbol.name (i.e. the ticker symbol) from the name of the first argument passed to it. In your second example, that name is getSymbols("^GSPC", auto.assign=F), which is not a valid ticker symbol. If you really want to call adjustOHLC() like that, you need to specify symbol.name = "^GSPC".

Or you can just use getSymbols("^GSPC", adjust = TRUE).

my-R-help · 2017-04-22T13:06:39Z

Great, that makes total sense. Many thanks for all your great work on quantmod!

justaddcoffee · 2017-04-29T10:02:22Z

I had this problem too, thanks Josh for the fix. Updating to quantmod 0.4-8 fixed for me on Os X 10.10.5 and R 3.3.0.

In case this is useful to anyone, I added the following line before calling getSymbols.yahoo as a workaround before Josh pushed his fix:
options(download.file.method = "libcurl")

getSymbols seems to fail if the source is Yahoo; looks like Yahoo changed the link for historical data, so https://ichart.finance.yahoo.com/table.csv no longer works. Anybody has a clue how to fix this?

at 4pm yesterday right when the markets closed it seems yahoo dropped the whole csv quote system, they made their historical data harder to scrape a few months ago so this just seems to be more going in the way of stopping scraping of their data.

joshuaulrich · 2017-11-02T17:58:37Z

@nathalok see #197. I was expecting the getQuote() API to change after what happened to the historical data API in May.

Hi,

It was working yesterday, today morning IST , getSymbols.yahoo broke

getSymbols("AAPL",auto.assign = F)
Warning: AAPL download failed; trying again.
Error: AAPL download failed after two attempts. Error message:
HTTP error 400.

But this seems to work:

getSymbols("AAPL",src="google")
[1] "AAPL"

but getSymbols google doesn't download information about indian stocks like :

getSymbols("SBIN.NS",src="google")

but this used to work till yesterday:

getSymbols("SBIN.NS",src="yahoo")
getSymbols("^NSEI",src="yahoo")

how to get it to work ??

@tvkurien Your issue is not a HTTP -> HTTPS redirection issue (i.e. is not related to this issue), and has likely been fixed in the 202_getSymbols_scipen branch.
