Broken link in get_financial.R #22

Open vsoler opened 2 years ago

vsoler commented 2 years ago

function get_financial.R contains a link that does not longer work (it's broken). The link in question is http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/label and it appears here:

statement <- merge(statement.skeleton, instFile$label, by.x = "toElementId", by.y = "elementId") %>% filter(labelRole == "http://www.xbrl.org/2003/role/label")

I think that this broken link creates some problems to the user.

Is it possible to have it fixed?

Thank you very much in advance

In recent times, I tried the R package finreportr to retrieve Apple's balance sheet. I struggle to find a proper solution as the package may not seem to be robust and accurate. Would there be any material update on this package for the foreseeable future?

I believe this work has tremendous value. Many end users can benefit from the proper fundamental analysis of balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements for individual stocks. The vast majority of current issues (XBRL, XML location on SEC EDGAR, and some bugs in the R package finreportr) seem to be highly technical for the average retail end user.
