Access Fundamental Company Data

[Herold1989]

Hey guys, thanks for your great work with this package. Downloading stock data just works great.

I was wondering how I could access the fundamental data like "company_overview" or "income_statement" using your functions especially as i have seen functions / test functions on this in the master package which I downloaded here.

I guess the functionality should be similar to downloading stocks as the JSON request on AlphaVantage just seems to exchange the function-input.

Thanks for any response on your side or an idea how I could overcome this by myself.

Cheers Jens

The functions company_overview and income_statement are in version 0.2, so perhaps you need to update your installation to see them? Then they can be used as normal, i.e. company_overview("TSLA").

Dean, thanks for your prompt response. I managed to resolve my problem.

I updated to version 0.2, using the ] update AlphaVantage command. However the functions like company_overview and income_statement were not accessible still.

What I then tried, I ran the AlphaVantage.jl module file manually, which I downloaded from the master branch folder here, and Julia overwrote the existing AlphaVantage module. Now everything seems to work as meant in version 0.2. Not sure if this is how it is supposed to be done, but I'm glad it worked.

Thanks again for your effort. J

Would it be possible to add a function for earnings to the master branch of the package as well? In theory this works just company_overview and income_statement. I added the code to the fundamentals.jl. Defining the function and calling it, works just fine. However I did not manage to successfully run it integrated into fundamentals_test.jl from runtests.jl.

Here are my lines of code:

function earnings(symbol::String; outputsize::String="compact", datatype::String="json") @argcheck in(datatype, ["json", "csv"]) uri = _form_uri_head("EARNINGS") * "&symbol=$symbol" * _form_uri_tail(outputsize, datatype) data = _get_request(uri) return _parse_response(data, datatype) end export earnings

If you make a PR we can merge it in.

If you create a fork of this code, add your earnings code in and a test for the function, (you can simply copy similar ones in fundamentals_test.jl.

I created a pull request - I hope I did this correctly. Pls excuse, I have so far only been a consumer of Github work by others.
