Quantmod Data Issue #342

Closed 4lifersss closed 2 years ago

4lifersss commented 2 years ago

Description

I am trying to download a data using the getSymbols function and I keep retrieving an error message. I downloaded the quantmod package then loaded the package followed by the getSymbols function and I am not able to retrieve any data from the yahoo server.

Expected behavior

The expected behavior is for the getSymbols("AAPL") to retrieve the AAPL data. But instead, I am receiving:

Error in curl::curl_fetch_memory(cu, handle = h) : Timeout was reached: [finance.yahoo.com] Operation timed out after 10005 milliseconds with 0 out of 0 bytes received

That's almost certainly a problem with your connection to Yahoo's servers. It's probably a temporary issue.

I'm closing this because it's very unlikely there's something I can change in quantmod in order to fix your problem. But I'm happy to try and help you troubleshoot.

I was able to fix the issue by switching computers.
