Hello all, especially Jack who wrote the package!!!.
I run gretl2020d on Windows (I think last version of them).
Also I installed yahoo_get 3.0
When running yahoo_get.gfn sample script I get two "errors"
(1) It does not find the redhat ticker
? series redhat = yahoo_price("RHT") # get Red Hat, adjusted price only
Ticker RHT not found
Generated series redhat (ID 1)
(2) it does not fill non-existent ticker with NAs (if that's the
expected function here). I get the following
? series foo = yahoo_price("ZZZ") # a non-existent ticker will give
NAs
An error occurred when 'outfile' was active
jsonget: failed to match JsonPath
*** error in function json2csv, line 1
dates = strsplit(jsonget(jsonbuf,
"$.chart.result[0].timestamp[*]"), "\n")
called by function
write_tempfile
called by function yahoo_price
Error executing script: halting
series foo = yahoo_price("ZZZ") # a non-existent
ticker will give NAs
