@Wesseldr Thanks again for this contribution! I just noticed that you used glue::trim()
. IBrokers doesn't use glue and I don't want to add a dependency for one line of code. Can you tell me why we need glue::trim()
here?
It would be nice if you could provide the output of dput(derivativeSecTypes)
before and after the call to glue::trim()
. That will help me understand why it's needed and find a solution using available packages.
it trims away the white spaces. but perhaps native R works there as well..

There's base::trimws()
to strip leading/trailing whitespace. I'm not sure what glue::trim()
does. The documentation is not helpful at all.
This trims a character vector according to the trimming rules used by glue.
But doesn't say or reference what those trimming rules are. And the 'Examples' section does not give examples of the trim()
function.
Ws more of a courtesy to the client that it doesn't get the mess that IB sends over with CSV strings that end on a , etc... at least I think its taht part of the code. But will do fine without it I think, the user has to deal with additional spaces at the beginning of a string and the end of a string..

Implemented the reqMatchingSymbols call. It returns a dataframe with the matched symbols. The search matches tickers and names. IB will only return a maximum of 16 matches. see https://interactivebrokers.github.io/tws-api/matching_symbols.html If no symbols are found, it returns an empty dataframe.
