How I can retrieve the list of all symbols accessible through getSymbols in quantmod?

Question

Is there a function that can return the list of all symbols I can access using getSymbols function from quantmod? I am interested in the downloadable CFDs symbol list for src = 'oanda'.

Thanks, Vladimir

Try

library(quantmod)
values <- oanda.currencies
#> head(values)
#    oanda.df.1.length.oanda.df...2....1.
#USD                            US Dollar
#AFN                  Afghanistan Afghani
#ALL                         Albanian Lek
#DZD                       Algerian Dinar
#ADF                       Andorran Franc
#ADP                      Andorran Peseta

This yields a data frame with one column containing a total of 191 currencies that are available from src="oanda".

The symbols are stored as row names:
