GetOptionChain() doesn't work

wen7722 commented 5 years ago

Hi, I met some problem here that the option info is now inaccessible though I don't need volume data at all. Screen Shot 2019-05-01 at 2 52 56 AM

Thanks for the report! I can replicate.

getOptionChain("AAPL", Exp = NULL)
# Error in data.frame(Strike = strike, Last = lastprice, Chg = change, Bid = bid,  : 
#   object 'volume' not found

I ran your example again just now, and it worked. Seems like this may have been an intermittent service disruption with the Yahoo Finance servers.

R> aapl <- quantmod::getOptionChain("AAPL", Exp = NULL)
R> str(aapl)

I'm closing this because this appears to be working, and is not something we can fix by changing quantmod.
