Addition to Time Series Data: `{cryptoQuotes}`

[serkor1]

HI @robjhyndman,

Would you consider adding {cryptoQuotes} under the topic Time Series Data? This package fetches cryptocurrency market data as xts-objects. It is already listed on Finance, but I found it relevant to list it here too.

Example

# load library
library(cryptoQuotes)

# extract daily
# data
tail(
  ETH <- get_quote(
    ticker   = "ETHUSDT",
    source   = "kraken",
    futures  = FALSE,
    interval = "1d",
    from     = Sys.Date() - 500,
    to       = Sys.Date()
  )
)
#>                        open    high     low   close    volume
#> 2024-06-08 02:00:00 3676.70 3708.02 3664.30 3682.52  563.3594
#> 2024-06-09 02:00:00 3680.61 3720.56 3668.95 3705.72 1684.2220
#> 2024-06-10 02:00:00 3703.67 3712.24 3646.50 3668.65  759.3700
#> 2024-06-11 02:00:00 3667.72 3671.02 3432.53 3498.60 2859.6136
#> 2024-06-12 02:00:00 3499.80 3654.83 3465.78 3561.23 2196.0433
#> 2024-06-13 02:00:00 3561.23 3561.23 3476.00 3497.10  621.4606

# print class
class(ETH)
#> [1] "xts" "zoo"

# simple chart
chart(
  ticker = ETH,
  main   = pline()
)

Rather than add every finance package that includes time series data, we point people towards the Finance view at both the top and bottom of the page. Otherwise, there would be too much overlap between the two task views.

Makes sense, thank you! 🫡
