I have been working on a few additions to the package and wanted to know if you would like to incorporate these. I am unsure if you still use GitHub to maintain the package because the Crane version is more advanced than the version on GitHub. Anyway, I have incorporated the code I could find in the most recent version on Cran in this pull request.
This pull request introduces three main additions.
Information extraction (e.g., getting the filings header information) can be done in parallel using the future package. This speeds up processing time substantially when extracting information for many firms.
It introduces a function that allows extracting cusip and event date information from Form 13G/D (where cusips were not extracted previously).
It updates header information extraction to search through the filing text if the standardized filler information does not provide it.
Thanks for this great package!
