Hi I am trying to download data of multiple stocks from yahoo finance using the quantmod package in R. My method is to create a function using the getSymbols function, and use lapply to apply this to a vector of ticker symbols. Below is my code
get_data <- function(x){getSymbols(x,
from = "2017-01-01",
to = "2021-03-15",
auto.assign = FALSE)}
tickers <- c("AAPL","GOOG","FB","TSLA")
mydata <- lapply(tickers,get_data)
running the last step does not give me the data, just a list with all the tickers stored as characters. Would appreciate if anyone could tell me where my code is going wrong. Cheers
