Hi, thanks for this useful codebase!

Do you have any plans or idea on how the tables can be parsed into readable format? say using pandas etc?

Hi @wj210. In our early development, we had such a method but found it unstable in the retrieval results due to all the different table structures. So, we decided to remove it. However, there was a recent pull request about this same functionality. You should check it out and maybe integrate it into your code: https://github.com/nlpaueb/edgar-crawler/pull/17 We will review it too and maybe merge it if it has sufficient results.
