In simfinapi: Accessing 'SimFin' Data

simfinapi 1.0.0

Features

• The package is now compatible with the new SimFin API V3.

simfinapi 0.2.4

Bug Fixes

• Some new API keys were not accepted by check_api_key(). This is fixed now.

simfinapi 0.2.3

• This is a mainly a maintenance release due to the SimFin API update. The API V2 is now in legacy mode.

simfinapi 0.2.1

Bug Fixes

• Loading data without specifying a cache_dir returned a generic error instead of a helpful warning with information on how to set the cache_dir.
• sfa_get_statements() no longer errors when the returned data does not have the same amount of columns. See issue #35 and thanks to Mislav Sagovac for reporting.

simfinapi 0.2.0

Possibly Breaking Changes

• All column names in returned data.tables now comply to basic naming conventions. The original column names are stored in the label attribute of each column.

Features

• Added a NEWS.md file to track changes to the package.
• Clean support for SimFin+. Most functions throw early errors if a normal user requests data which is reserved for SimFin+ users. If SimFin+ offers only more convenience, this is matched internally for normal users so that the user experience is very similar. Normal users only need more requests and therefore have to wait a little longer. However, this requires for most functions the new argument sfplus.
• sfa_get_*() functions now feature a progress bar powered by {progressr} for normal users since simfinapi sends possibly many requests.

Bug Fixes

• set_sfa_cache_dir() is now exported.
• Corrections in sfa_get_shares() help.
• The ratios argument in sfa_get_prices() is no longer ignored.
• It's now possible to download statement data for several years at once (if you are a 'SimFin+' user).
• It's now possible to download "all" statements at once (if you are a 'SimFin+' user). Some column names occur in several statements and duplicates are numbered with _2.
• Argument fyear from sfa_get_statement() no longer has a default value. This prevents errors for SimFin+ users, who set start or end. (#13, reported by MislavSag)
• Too strict input checks on Ticker and SimfinId removed. (#15, reported by MislavSag)
