get_insider() does not return year

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Hi
As described in OpenBB-finance/OpenBBTerminal#3608 the return doesn't contain a year which makes the entire functionality not reliable. Especially for stocks with low turnover.

Hi @jczernia,

This fix for OpenBB-finance/OpenBBTerminal#3608 is more complicated than it might seem, and would likely require a second request per insider transaction. Finviz doesn't provide the year at all, but does provide a link to the respective SEC Form 4, which provides all the necessary details.

A fix in this case would require an additional request to the respective SEC Form 4 per insider transaction (hosted on the SEC's website), which would then be scraped for the necessary details.

Regards,
James
