Overview

About

Maintained by Derek HolmesCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Download, manage, and visualize via Shiny App 'Alphavantage financial data' https://www.alphavantage.co/documentation/. Data is downloaded into `data.table`s using one parameterized function. Results can be piped to optional helper functions to extract and simplify more complex data. A Shiny interface is also provided to download, manage, analyze and visualize market data.

Changes in 0.9.0

Major Changes

The Shiny interface has been completely redesigned (and recoded) to have an extendable command line interface

for all analytics. New functions have been added for adding and managing data outside the app. Users can also add their

own analytics and interface with the GUI using several "helper" functions. See vignettes

for details.

New Features in API interface

av_get_pf() returns a date column for melted data.
av_runShiny() now returns a ShinyAppHandle object and does not block execution
All helper functions (e.g. av_extract_df) now return an empty data.table if there is nothing to extract. Set empty_dt_onerror=FALSE to throw an error.
av_extract_fx() timestamps always returned in Sys.timezone() time zone.
Functions which return multiple types as strings (specifically av_get_pf(.,"OVERVIEW")) now properly produce type-separated tables.

Bug fixes

Show all changes in 0.9.0Hide the rest of the changes in 0.9.0

Fixed app crash if no earnings transcript available.
Fixed graphing so that stepPlots are chosen appropriately, not always.
splitfirst ignored for single name plots.
av_opt_helper_cols better determines and communicates spot levels.

Breaking changes

av_api_key() has been renamed to avpf_api_key() which has an additional parameter entitlement. av_api_key()

is also in the alphavantager package. Usage of that function is still compatible with this package, but an additional

step to set entitlement status is necessary.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Ubuntu (r2u)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("alphavantagepf", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("derekholmes0/alphavantagepf")

Development version from derekholmes0/alphavantagepf. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

Release

# enable cranapt (r2u) if it is not already set up, then install
grep -rqs r2u.stat.illinois.edu /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ \
  || curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/eddelbuettel/r2u/master/inst/scripts/add_cranapt_noble.sh | sudo bash
sudo apt install -y r-cran-alphavantagepf

Fast Ubuntu binaries via r2u (no compilation). The cranapt setup runs once and is skipped when it is already enabled. We list this channel from recorded r2u download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.

bspm (used by r2u) also needs make: sudo apt install make

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-alphavantagepf

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-alphavantagepf

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
