Error: Input year(s) is not numeric in R

[polina]

Hello guys,

I need your help regarding an error in R which is the following:

Error: Input year(s) is not numeric in R

However, I check the input (year, e.g. 2004) using the command class(2004) and the answer is numeric.

Does anyone know what is the problem and how can I fix it?

Thank you in advance.

Hi!

To help us help you, could you please prepare a reproducible example (reprex) illustrating your issue? Please have a look at this guide, to see how to create one:

FAQ: How to do a minimal reproducible example ( reprex ) for beginners

A minimal reproducible example consists of the following items: A minimal dataset, necessary to reproduce the error The minimal runnable code necessary to reproduce the error, which can be run on the given dataset, and including the necessary information on the used packages. Let's quickly go over each one of this with an example: Minimal Dataset (Sample Data) You need to provide a dataframe that is small enough to be (reasonably) pasted on a post, but big enough to reproduce your issue. Let's say, as example, that you are working with the iris dataframe head(iris) #> Sepal.Length Sepal.Width Petal.Length Petal.Width Species #> 1 5.1 3.5 1.4 0.2 se…

Ok. I am trying to download edgar filings which downloads the files from the website (using the edgar package in R).

I run the following code:
install.packages("edgar")
library(edgar)
for (year in c(2004,2005,2006,2007,2008,2009,2010,2010,2011,2012,2013,2014,2015,2016,2017)){
getMasterIndex(year)
}
report <- getFilings(2017, 1720635 , 'ALL')

after running the above code, I have the following error:
Error: Input year(s) is not numeric.

Looking at documentation (https://www.rdocumentation.org/packages/edgar/versions/2.0.1/topics/getFilings), it looks like this - report <- getFilings(2017, 1720635 , 'ALL') - is incorrect syntax. Specifically, third parameter is supposed to be filing.year, but in your case it's 'ALL':

getFilings(cik.no, form.type, filing.year, quarter, downl.permit)

I don't know why but this code worked before two weeks.

Anyway, thank you so much Mishabalyasin . It's works

Perhaps, the version has been updated recently and there were some breaking changes in the order of the arguments.
