Hi Q: I keep getting repeated errors for "range_specifier" in get_fundamentals() being run in IDE building the algorithm.
TypeError: get_fundamentals() got an unexpected keyword argument 'range_specifier'
Error returned in IDE for "range_specifier" as an unexpected argument for get_fundamentals()
Historical fundamental data is a long awaited feature, asked by the community in this forum at least since two years.
The Quantopian team is working on it, but they don't give any timeline and it will be supported only by the Pipeline API and not get_fundamentals().
@Quantopian, any update on this?
And what about support it also in get_fundamentals()? The Pipeline API is too slow for fundamentals based algo. The problem with Pipeline, is that the data are evaluated every day, even if the algo trades monthly or less and it's based on fundamental data, that change only every quarter.
As I said the Quantopian team is definitely working on it, see this post dated Jun 26, 2017:

I'm looking forward to hearing the feature announcement!
