# to form a user-agent string that complies with the SEC Edgar's
# programmatic downloading fair access policy.
# More info: https://www.sec.gov/os/webmaster-faq#code-support
# Company name and email are used to form a user-agent of the form:
# User-Agent: <Company Name> <Email Address>
dl = Downloader("MyCompanyName", "my.email@domain.com")

# Get all 8-K filings for Apple (ticker: AAPL)
dl.get("8-K", "AAPL")

# Get all 8-K filings for Apple, including filing amends (8-K/A)
dl.get("8-K", "AAPL", include_amends=True)

# Get all 8-K filings for Apple after January 1, 2017 and before March 25, 2017
# Note: after and before strings must be in the form "YYYY-MM-DD"
dl.get("8-K", "AAPL", after="2017-01-01", before="2017-03-25")

# Get the five most recent 8-K filings for Apple
dl.get("8-K", "AAPL", limit=5)

# Get all 10-K filings for Microsoft
dl.get("10-K", "MSFT")

# Get the latest 10-K filing for Microsoft
dl.get("10-K", "MSFT", limit=1)

# Get all 10-Q filings for Visa

# Get all 10-K filings for Microsoft without the filing details
dl.get("10-K", "MSFT", download_details=False)

# Get the latest supported filings, if available, for Apple
for filing_type in dl.supported_filings:
    dl.get(filing_type, "AAPL", limit=1)

# Get the latest supported filings, if available, for a
# specified list of tickers and CIKs
equity_ids = ["AAPL", "MSFT", "0000102909", "V", "FB"]
