Support Quandl #9

Closed aviks closed 11 years ago

aviks commented 11 years ago

It may be useful to support getting data from Quandl within this package. They seem to have a good collection of data with an easy API

The first I heard of Quandl was just last week. Looks much more comprehensive than the current limited offering of yahoo and FRED.

fwiw, R has implemented the API here http://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/Quandl/Quandl.pdf

Same here, I saw it a few days ago. I just wanted to document my thoughts. I was hoping to do this myself, but I doubt I'll have the opportunity any time soon

@aviks you're always welcome should you find the time, I'll put this higher up on my list in the meantime

Quandl looks like it supports a wide panoply of data, not just financial time series. This deserves its own package and should deprecate the fred and yahoo methods. I'm starting the Quandl.jl package.
