company_filings function sporadically locates company filings

[michaelanthonyperez]

Hello,

I'm running into an issue with the company_filings function in the EdgarWebR package. Specifically, the browse_edgar subfunction spits out an error sporadically when trying to find a company's filings:

Error in browse_edgar(x, ownership = ownership, type = type, before = before, :
Could not find company: XXXXXXX

...where XXXXXX stands for a company's CIK.

Sometimes the function will work and return the desired results, but most times it fails with the error message above. I'm currently running the function in a loop with several CIKs and each time a different CIK causes the function to error out.

I'm running R 3.6.2 in RStudio 1.2.1335.

Any help you can provide is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

-Mike
