Updated ETF watchlist project
While watching a world cup match today, I updated my ETF watchlist project (you may click here if you haven’t seen it yet)
You may find the github code here. In the revision, I parallelized the crawling - essentially tapping on all the cores in my machines.
To create your own watchlist. Follow these steps,
- Install R and R studio.
- In Mac or Linux, type the following in command line git clone https://github.com/jironghuang/ETF_watchlist . In windows, you may visit the link and download it as zipped folder
- Open the .Rproj
- Tweak the input file to change your watchlist. Ticker symbol should follow yahoo ticker naming convention (e.g. VWRD.L for the ETF listed on stock exchange)
- Ctrl + A and Ctrl + Enter. Or just click the run button in the top right hand of Rstudio
Note: For the auth.r section, you may comment it out if you do not wish to upload the crawled data in googlesheet.
