Hi R-Help People! I'm using the current version of R for Ubuntu: R version 4.2.1 (2022-06-23) -- "Funny-Looking Kid." I'm using the quantmod package and am having difficulty with the getDividends() function from the quantmod package. Here is my code:> library(quantmod)> > getDividends( "VOX" )Here is the output: Warning message: In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : incomplete final line found by readTableHeader on 'https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/VOX?period1=-2208988800&period2=1663545600&interval=1d&events=split'> There was not an object in my work space like "VOC.div" or anything like that, so I'm pretty sure getDividends failed completely.... .... except for the slight possiblity that I did something wrong! Can somebody please tell me how to get getDividends to work? Thank you!

You need to assign the result to an object.
vox_div <- quantmod::getDividends("VOX")
You should check to see if the dividends are split-adjusted or not.
Yahoo has changed that several times over the years. Use the
`split.adjust` argument to get the (un)adjusted dividends. The boolean
may be backward because of Yahoo's changes.
Best,
Josh

... and do note that a "warning" is not an "error." Often the correct result will still be obtained. -- Bert On Tue, Sep 20, 2022 at 9:48 AM Phil Smith via R-help <r-help at r-project.org> wrote:> Hi R-Help People! > > I'm using the current version of R for Ubuntu: R version 4.2.1 > (2022-06-23) -- "Funny-Looking Kid." > > I'm using the quantmod package and am having difficulty with the > getDividends() function from the quantmod package. > > Here is my code: > > > library(quantmod) > > > > > getDividends( "VOX" ) > > Here is the output: > Warning message: > In read.table(file = file, header = header, sep = sep, quote = quote, : > incomplete final line found by readTableHeader on ' > https://query1.finance.yahoo.com/v7/finance/download/VOX?period1=-2208988800&period2=1663545600&interval=1d&events=split > '> > > There was not an object in my work space like "VOC.div" or anything like > that, so I'm pretty sure getDividends failed completely.... > > .... except for the slight possiblity that I did something wrong! > > Can somebody please tell me how to get getDividends to work? > > Thank you! > Daryl > Daryl's Rural Roadside Honor System Vegetable and Flower Stand and > Occasional Dairy Produce > Rural area, USA > [[alternative HTML version deleted]] > > ______________________________________________ > R-help at r-project.org mailing list -- To UNSUBSCRIBE and more, see > https://stat.ethz.ch/mailman/listinfo/r-help > PLEASE do read the posting guide > http://www.R-project.org/posting-guide.html > and provide commented, minimal, self-contained, reproducible code. >[[alternative HTML version deleted]]

Not sure whether it's Yahoo's problem or quantmod's problem, but it's definitely related. -- Best regards, Ivan
