finreportr - Financial Data from U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission

Introduction

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

To install CRAN release version of finreportr:

install.packages("finreportr")

To install bleeding-edge version from GitHub:

devtools::install_github("sewardlee337/finreportr")
