Answer 1

I don't know of a way. The TTR package has a function (stockSymbols) to download all the current symbols from the NYSE, AMEX, and NASDAQ. It tries to put them in an acceptable format for Yahoo, but there's no guarantee that the 6,000+ symbols it retrieves have data on Yahoo. I'm not sure what to do for other exchanges...

> library(TTR)
> x <- stockSymbols()
Fetching AMEX symbols...
Fetching NASDAQ symbols...
Fetching NYSE symbols...
> str(x)
'data.frame':   6473 obs. of  8 variables:
 $ Symbol   : chr  "ADK" "ADK-WT" "AFP" "AIM" ...
 $ Name     : chr  "Adcare Health Systems Inc" "Adcare Health Systems Inc" "United Capital Corporation" "Aerosonic Corporation" ...
 $ LastSale : num  4.12 2.1 30 2.73 2.7 ...
 $ MarketCap: num  3.28e+07 0.00 2.68e+08 1.02e+07 9.29e+07 ...
 $ IPOyear  : num  NA NA 1973 NA NA ...
 $ Sector   : chr  "Health Care" "n/a" "Capital Goods" "Capital Goods" ...
 $ Industry : chr  "Hospital/Nursing Management" "n/a" "Metal Fabrications" "Industrial Machinery/Components" ...
 $ Exchange : chr  "AMEX" "AMEX" "AMEX" "AMEX" ...

Overdraw

Note that stockSymbols in the version of TTR on CRAN is broken due to a change on nasdaq.com, but it is fixed in the R-forge version of TTR. – Overdraw

Is there a way I can get names of all the symbols listed in National Stock Exchange India. The stockSymbols fetches only US symbols – Chastity
