TypeError: get_fundamentals() got an unexpected keyword argument 'range_specifier'

According to https://www.quantopian.com/help, get_fundamentals takes a keyword argument range_specifier. However, when I run the following code: 

def initialize(context):  
    start_date = '2013-01-03'  
    fundamental_panel = get_fundamentals(  
        query(  
            fundamentals.valuation.market_cap,  
            fundamentals.earnings_report.basic_eps,  
            fundamentals.asset_classification.financial_health_grade,  
            fundamentals.asset_classification.growth_grade,  
            fundamentals.valuation_ratios.pe_ratio,  
            fundamentals.asset_classification.morningstar_sector_code,  
        )

        # Small cap  
        .filter(fundamentals.valuation.market_cap < 2000000000)  
        .limit(2),  
        start_date,  
        range_specifier='d365',  
    )

I get the TypeError specified in the title of this post. Am I doing something wrong?

I'm trying to create a unified data Panel that contains fundamental (e.g., PE ratio) and technical (prices) information for a specific date range and for multiple stocks. What's the easiest way of doing this?

I believe you've discovered a bug in our documentation. The range is only available in Research, not in the IDE for use in an algo. If you'd like a long timespan of fundamentals data in your algo, you should try to access the data via the pipeline API.

Thanks
Josh
