How to import fundamentals for stocks by using Quandl package

Question

I'm trying to import fundamentals for stocks by using Quandl package,I pulled some data by using this line of code:

mydata <-Quandl("WIKI/AAPL", collapse="quarterly")

However, I don't understend how can I get fundamentals data and not just the price data. Any Idea how to do that? Also, Is there a way to pull all fundamentals with the same line?

Answer 1

On this site you find all the fundamentals: http://www.quandl.com/c/stocks/aapl. Just click on the figure (quaterly/anualy) and you will be directed to a page with the data. There is an R button on the right. Clicking it will give you the R-Code.

Example: Gross-Profit: http://www.quandl.com/SEC/AAPL_GROSSPROFIT_Q-APPLE-INC-AAPL-Quarterly-Gross-Profit

Quandl("SEC/AAPL_GROSSPROFIT_Q", 
       trim_start="2009-06-27", 
       trim_end="2014-03-29")

But from my understanding quandl do not have all the fundamental-details like Bloomberg, Reuters, CapitalIQ.

Answer 2

There can be an issue needing to use different SEC codes to obtain comparable data on different companies so Quandl hss recently provided a harmonized set of tags which can be used for some of the more common data types.
