For any R users not on the #cran channel in RocketChat, I have posted updated functionality to the Rnumerai routines for downloading and submitting both the legacy and new datasets.
@of_s Thanks for unblocking all our fellow R users in the community, on being able to use the new super massive dataset. The Council of Elders has awarded you a 10 NMR discretionary retroactive bounty for your work on this. Keep it coming!
The popularity of this post made me realize that I should post the fast R yahoo finance data download routine as well as the transformation from long to wide for Signals, which I did here (previously tucked away in the #cran channel in RC):
Hi thanks for doing this. I’m still getting the error: “Error in handle_url(handle, url, …) : Must specify at least one of url or handle”. don’t know what’s going on…
Hi @javibear, there’s a couple of possibilities: libraries httr and lubridate need to be installed, and the correct model_id parameter needs to be used in submit_predictions().
You can view your model_id from the get_models() call or alternatively view each ID via https://numer.ai/models .
LMK if any of these solutions work! Also, you can follow the discussions on the #cran channel in RC here.
@of_s no luck. re-installed httr,lubridate. Still getting the error. by the way, I’m getting this message on download_data(). This started to happen just all of a sudden about 4 weeks ago, even before the super massive data intro.

yes, did all those. tried writing the function directly onto the main script but no luck as well. from the error, it seems to functionally working and then it hits a walll or something.
