Download Constituent Data
Description
This function downloads and processes the constituent data for a specified financial index. The data is fetched from a remote CSV file, filtered, and cleaned to provide relevant information about constituents.
Usage
download_data_constituents(index)
Arguments
index |
A character string specifying the name of the financial index for which to download constituent data. The index must be one of the supported indexes listed by list_supported_indexes. |
Details
The function retrieves the URL of the CSV file for the specified index from ETF sites, then sends an HTTP GET request to download the CSV file, and processes the CSV file to extract equity constituents.
The approach is inspired by tidyquant::tq_index()
, which uses a different wrapper around o
ther ETFs.
Value
A tibble with two columns:
- symbol
The ticker symbol of the equity constituent.
- name
The name of the equity constituent.
- location
The location where the company is based.
- exchange
The exchange where the equity is traded.
The tibble is filtered to exclude non-equity entries, blacklisted symbols, empty names, and any entries containing the index name or "CASH".
