R client for Twelve Data prices and reference series
What it is
An R package that calls the Twelve Data REST API and can return market series as xts objects when xts is installed. A time-series request takes a symbol and an interval, can return stocks, funds or currency pairs, and attaches metadata such as interval and currency names; quote, price and reference-data helpers sit alongside it, and several symbols come back as a list. R users who want a small dependency surface can chart the result with quantmod or another xts-aware plotter once a Twelve Data key is configured. The package is developed independently of the vendor's Python SDK, and a free key only permits a limited request volume.
