Could not resolve host

[l3all]

Once in many try it does go through the request and get's me the data. The rest of the time I get the error
AnnualReports("AAPL") on any ticker I get this in the console:

Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : Could not resolve host: www.sec.gov

The problem is not just present with the function AnnualReports(), but also with all the others

I read there that it could be because sec.gov try to se if i'm a bot. (https://stackoverflow.com/questions/33295686/rvest-error-in-open-connectionx-rb-timeout-was-reached)

Hi @l3all,

Did you solve this issue?

Best,

I've used finreportr before, but now GetIncome, GetBalanceSheet and GetCashFlow seem to have a bad URL. For example:
GetIncome("GOOG", 2018)
Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : HTTP error 403.
In addition: Warning messages:
1: In .Internal(get0(x, envir, mode, inherits, ifnotfound)) :
closing unused connection 4 (http://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=WY&type=10-k&dateb=&owner=exclude&count=100)
2: In .Internal(get0(x, envir, mode, inherits, ifnotfound)) :
closing unused connection 3 (https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/789019/000156459019027952/0001564590-19-027952-index.htm)

GetIncome("GOOG", 2019)
Error in open.connection(x, "rb") : HTTP error 403.
