Details

A utility to download financial statements for publicly traded companies.

Individual statements can be accessed using standard R list extraction tools, or by using viewFinancials.

viewFinancials allows for the use of date subsetting as available in the xts package, as well as the specification of the type of statement to view. BS for balance sheet, IS for income statement, and CF for cash flow statement. The period argument is used to identify which statements to view - (A) for annual and (Q) for quarterly.

Examples

Run this code

if (FALSE) {
getFinancials('JAVA')  # returns JAVA.f to "env"
getFin('AAPL') # returns AAPL.f to "env"

viewFin(JAVA.f, "IS", "Q")  # Quarterly Income Statement
viewFin(AAPL.f, "CF", "A")   # Annual Cash Flows

str(AAPL.f)
}
