Issue with match_company_by_company_name #22

Thank you for the amazing library that you have developed and shared!

I am currently trying to find matching company names in the SEC EDGAR database, given that I have a file where the names are not exact matches of their real ones. I have been trying to write the execute the following code:

edgar.Edgar.match_company_by_company_name("Neoforma.com Inc")

but get the following error:

match_company_by_company_name() missing 1 required positional argument: 'name'

I believe the first argument is the self in the Python class, an issue I don't know how to overcome. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ah, you have to create the Edgar object first.

from edgar import Edgar
edgar = Edgar()
edgar.match_company_by_company_name("Neoforma")
