eodhdR2<\/strong> is the official EODHD package for R, written by Prof. Marcelo S. Perlin<\/a>. It wraps our REST API in 60 functions that return tidy data frames: end-of-day and intraday prices, dividends and splits, fundamentals and financial statements, live quotes, technical indicators, a stock screener, search, options, index composition, calendars, macroeconomic and fixed-income series, sanctions lists, news and sentiment. The current release is 0.8<\/strong>, published on CRAN on 22 September 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R is an open-source language with a large following in quantitative finance, thanks to its statistical toolbox and its plotting libraries. This guide covers installation, authentication, everything the package covers, what the main functions cost in API calls, and a full worked example on Apple (AAPL). All outputs shown below were produced with eodhdR2 0.8 on 24 September 2026 \u2014 your row counts will be slightly higher as the data set grows.<\/p>\n\n\n

Our first-generation R package, eodhd<\/strong>, was archived by CRAN on 3 September 2024 and can no longer be installed with install.packages(). If you are still using it, migrate to eodhdR2 \u2014 it is the package described on this page and the one we maintain.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n <\/div>\n \n\n\n\n\n\n

Installation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You need R itself and, optionally, an editor. The suggested setup is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Install the latest R for your platform (Windows, macOS or Linux) from cran.r-project.org<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Install RStudio<\/a>, or use R inside VS Code<\/a> if you prefer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Then install the package from the R console. Note the function name is install.packages<\/strong>, with an “s”:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
    # stable version, from CRAN\ninstall.packages(\"eodhdR2\")\n\n# development version, from GitHub\nif (!require(devtools)) install.packages(\"devtools\")\ndevtools::install_github(\"EodHistoricalData\/R-Library-for-financial-data-2024\")<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
    This pulls in the package’s dependencies \u2014 dplyr, tidyr, readr, lubridate, cli and others. On a machine with no compiled binaries available it may take several minutes. Once it finishes, load the package:<\/p>\n\n\n
    \n
    library(eodhdR2)<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
    If that runs without an error, the package is installed correctly. The source code and the issue tracker are on our GitHub page<\/a> \u2014 watch the repository to be notified about new releases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    <\/div>\n\n\n\n
    Activating the API<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    Register an account at eodhd.com<\/a>, then open your dashboard<\/a> and copy your API token. The token is tied to your subscription: a Fundamentals-only plan will not return price data, and vice versa. Our plans<\/a> start at \u20ac19.99 per month<\/strong>, and the All-In-One plan covers every endpoint the library talks to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    Authentication is handled once per R session with set_token():<\/p>\n\n\n
    \n
    # set your own token\neodhdR2::set_token(\"YOUR_API_TOKEN\")<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
    If you are logged in, the box below shows your own key in the request \u2014 use that value in set_token():<\/p>\n\n\n
