sec_entities

A ruby gem for searching and retrieving data from the Security and Exchange Commission's Edgar web system.

This gem was originally made by Ty Rauber and had more functions, but I couldn't get to work and I didn't need all of the functions so I made it work for what I needed. If I can get the other one to work eventually, I'll retire this one.

To install the 'sec_entities' Ruby Gem run the following command at the terminal prompt.

gem install sec_entities

For an example of what type of information 'sec_entities' can retrieve, run the following command:

bundle exec rspec spec

If running 'sec_entities' from the command prompt in irb:

irb -rubygems

require "sec_entities"

Sec::Entity.find("WEYERHAUSER")
