rquantmod

In the R library quantmod, is there a new problem with getQuote?

I've been using getQuote from the quantmod package for a while. In the past few days, its begun failing with an HTTP error message:

     library(quantmod)
     getQuote("MSFT")

which returns "Error in open.connection(con, "rb") : HTTP error 401."

Has something stopped working?

Solution

  • This was an issue with the Yahoo Finance servers. It went away after a few days. See https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/382 for details.
