I have no issues with your call on GOOG
. You'll need to give us some more information/attempt to isolate the issue:
verbose=TRUE
? Please paste the full console output.1) If I set verbose
to TRUE:
getBars("GOOG Equity", startTime = as.POSIXct("2022-07-04 15:00:00"), verbose = TRUE)
I get:
Sending Request: IntradayBarRequest = { security = "GOOG Equity" eventType = TRADE interval = 60 startDateTime = 2022-07-04T13:00:00 endDateTime = 2022-07-06T04:15:51 }

[1] times open high low close numEvents volume value
<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)
2) I have tried "GOOG Equity" with bhm
function and it seems it doesn't work either. For example this works:
spx <- bdh(securities = "SPX Index",
fields = "PX_LAST",
start.date = as.Date("2000-03-01"))
but this:
bdh(securities = "GOOG Equity",
fields = "PX_LAST",
start.date = as.Date("2000-03-01"),
verbose = TRUE)
returns:
HistoricalDataResponse = {
securityData = {
security = "GOOG Equity"
eidData[] = {
}
sequenceNumber = 0
securityError = {
source = "52892:rsfhdsvc1"
code = 15
category = "BAD_SEC"
message = "Unknown/Invalid securityInvalid Security [nid:52892]"
subcategory = "INVALID_SECURITY"
}
fieldExceptions[] = {
}
fieldData[] = {
}
}
}

<0 rows> (or 0-length row.names)
I have just begun with Bloomberg Desktop API. Maybe market data for is not enabled. I will check with bloomberg support.
3) I have tried to add currency too, but it doesn't work either:
instruments <- c("SPX Index", "GOOG Equity", "EURUSD Crncy")
lapply(instruments, getBars, startTime = as.POSIXct("2022-07-04 15:00:00"), verbose = TRUE)
returns:
Sending Request: IntradayBarRequest = { security = "SPX Index" eventType = TRADE interval = 60 startDateTime = 2022-07-04T13:00:00 endDateTime = 2022-07-06T04:22:09 }

I will try to contact Bloomberg support. and send feedback here.
Important update:
Seems the function works if I use cusip number. For AAPL:
# this works
getBars("/cusip/037833100", startTime = as.POSIXct("2022-07-04 15:00:00"), verbose = TRUE)
# this doesn't work
getBars("AAPL Equity", startTime = as.POSIXct("2022-07-04 15:00:00"), verbose = TRUE)
You have to specify the Exchange code as well (US in the case of Apple).
Try again with this ticker: AAPL US Equity
Works with US.
I think that is a general feature with equity tickers so we can probably close this.
I am trying to get historical (bar) data using
getBars
function. The function works for SPX:but it doesn't work for equities:
The error:
I have tried some other equity symbols but got the same error.
