On: Ask HN: Where do you get your financial data?

Interesting! I'm no longer a student, so I couldn't get access, but it's cool to know that this exists.

Curious if you've used any of these WRDS data sets? Also really interested to know if you've used the postgres interface to this data, and how you liked working with it as opposed to a regular API-like interface. Thanks!

I have used some of those data sets.

This book demonstrates some usage with R and the WRDS Postgres connector (but obviously you can use anything):

PS - some of the data sets referenced in that book are freely available.
