Example

This is a basic example which shows you how to retrieve Company info via ‘IEX Cloud API’:

iex.company(x, iex_sk) requires 2 values:

• x : A valid IEX Stock Symbol
• iex_sk : ‘IEX Cloud API’ Secret Key. It is available to use via Account Console.

Keep your secret token safe. Your secret token can make any API call on behalf of your account, including changes that may impact billing such as enabling pay-as-you-go charges

#Load Riex Package
library(Riex)
sk <- "[SECRET TOKEN]" 
x <- "TSLA"
TSLA_Co <- iex.company(x, sk)
TSLA_Co
