Alternative to quantmod for bid/ask info

Question

Previously I used this to get closing bid/ask prices:

library("quantmod")
getQuote(Symbols = symbols, 
           src = "yahoo",
           what=yahooQF(c("Bid","Ask", "Volume")))

Now I get the error:

Error in .yahooSession(TRUE) : unable to get yahoo crumb

> packageVersion('quantmod')
[1] ‘0.4.24’

Reading this it appears that Yahoo! is no longer an option with quantmod.

src = "av" doesn't return bid/ask info. Neither does Tiingo

Is there a free solution for R users for less than ten quotes per day for bid/ask info?

also check this: https://github.com/joshuaulrich/quantmod/issues/393 — Mark, Aug 09 '23 at 04:14
As @Mark suggested "Yahoo unhappy about crumbs #393" got it working again. — ixodid, Aug 09 '23 at 21:17

quantmod is working again after running:

remotes::install_github("ethanbsmith/quantmod@fix_404_handle_getquote_gdpr_errors")

This has been merged to quantmod/main. No need to install from the fork. – Joshua Ulrich Aug 10 '23 at 16:50
