A financial analyst’s time is valuable – it shouldn’t be wasted performing manual data entry. finreportr is a web scraper written in R that allows analysts to query data from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission directly from the R console. It aims to eliminate time wasters from a financial analyst’s workflow, such as navigating the SEC EDGAR database, flipping through financial reports, and parsing XBRL-encoded data.
finreportr allows you to fetch data from the SEC and load it into
your workspace using the following commands: *
CompanyInfo(): returns basic information about a company *
AnnualReports(): returns a listing of annual reports filed
by a company * GetIncome(): returns the income statement
for a given company * GetBalanceSheet(): returns the
balance sheet for a given company * GetCashFlow(): returns
the cash flow statement for a given company
