For example, you might want to use R packages like 'Google Trend' to get search terms trending data, use 'Quantmod' package to get financial data like stock prices, currency exchange rates, etc, or write a program to extract data from multiple files and combine into one. You can get pretty much any data in any way by writing R script, it's that powerful. ![](/files/-M4oN74XY6c0QeQZE4yE) ![](/files/-M4oN74Zbz_2v5mgBjBg) Here's a quick and simple example of how you can write R script as Data. * [Introduction to tidyquant - Stock Market Data Analysis](https://blog.exploratory.io/introduction-to-tidyquant-quantitative-financial-analysis-for-tidyverse-habitats-e5f72a023ce2) * [Using dplyr to query databases directly instead of using SQL](https://exploratory.io/note/2ac8ae888097/4608293349858884?cb=1506647866244) * [How to access to your Spark from Exploratory with sparklyr (SQL version)](https://exploratory.io/note/2ac8ae888097/8385836660075252?cb=1506646442109) * [Querying Spark Data with dplyr in Exploratory](https://exploratory.io/note/2ac8ae888097/9658701904142809?cb=1506646883371) * [Accessing SQLite with RSQLite and Querying with dplyr in R Script](https://exploratory.io/note/2ac8ae888097/6847080671738131) --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
