Description

library(tidyquant)

aapl_key_ratios <- tq_get("AAPL", get = "key.ratios")

Warning messages: 1: x = 'AAPL', get = 'key.ratios': Error in UseMethod("as_list"): no applicable method for 'as_list' applied to an object of class "NULL"

2: x = 'AAPL', get = 'key.ratios': Error in eval(lhs, parent, parent): object 'key_ratios_bind' not found

appears these URLs

http://financials.morningstar.com/ajax/ReportProcess4CSV.html?t=AAPL&reportType=bs&period=3&dataType=A&order=asc&columnYear=10&number=3

or

http://financials.morningstar.com/finan/ajax/exportKR2CSV.html?&callback=?&t=:AAPL&region=usa&culture=en-US&cur=&order=asc

no longer work to scrape the data files. However the option to download key ratios/statements still exists, i assume the URL has been changed.
