I would like to use getSymbols to get financial index data from Google finance. When I search for my indices then I get INDEXDB:RXPG for EB.REXX and INDEXDJX:DJUBS for DJ UBS.
A call of the form
getSymbols("INDEXDJX:DJUBS",src="google",from = "2007-01-01",to = Sys.Date())
or
getSymbols("INDEXDB:RXPG",src="google",from = "2007-01-01",to = Sys.Date())
does not work.
Another side question: is there any description of the symbols on google finance?
I don't think that this is necessary for my question but my session info is this: R version 2.14.1 (2011-12-22) Platform: x86_64-pc-mingw32/x64 (64-bit) and I use quantmod 0.4-0.
