iexcloudR

An R language wrapper for the new iexcloud market data API from IEX Group Inc. All data is returned dataframes (actually tibbles).

This package is a companion to the NodeJS package iexcloud_api_wrapper

Usage

To install as a dependancy into your project at the R REPL command prompt

install.github("schardtbc/iexcloudR")

then in your .env or .Renviron file add the following keys

IEXCLOUD_API_VERSION = "stable"
IEXCLOUD_PUBLIC_KEY = "pk_..."
IEXCLOUD_SECRET_KEY = "sk_..."

# use the pk and sk obtained from your iexcloud account
# make sure the .env file is in your .gitignore file
# do not hard code the keys into your application code
# do not upload the keys to github.
# you can easily change the keys if they become compromised

Note: when IEXCLOUD_PUBLIC_KEY starts with a "T" ,as in "Tpk= ..." then the base url used will be the sandbox url instead of the production cloud url

To test that everything installed correctly and the .env file is properly setup you can use the following or similar code

library(iexcloudR)
