Excluding amendments #19

Open gregjasonroberts opened 4 years ago

gregjasonroberts commented 4 years ago

What would you suggest for applying a parameter for excluding amendments? I know in the sec_edgar_downloader library there's a parameter that can be set: include_amends=False. Do you have a parameter in your methods or can direct me how I can apply that to the code below? Thanks again!

I'm using the following code to pull the documents:

from edgar import Company
from edgar import TXTML

company = Company("BOSTON SCIENTIFIC CORP", "0000885725")
tree = company.get_all_filings(filing_type = "10-K")
docs = Company.get_documents(tree, no_of_documents=5)

text=TXTML.parse_full_10K(docs[3])
text

I'm not familiar with what amendments. Can you explain that further? Is that the 10-K/A?

gregjasonroberts commented 4 years ago

That's correct. When pulling the 10K documents in this method, 10-K/A documents are included. In the example above, the 4th document scraped out of the 5 documents called contained this and I'd like to skip those types of filings.
