Package GetFREData

GetFREData is an R package for downloading information about companies traded at B3, the Brazilian financial exchange. The source of the data is B3’s FRE, the official system for the registration of all major corporate actions.

The corporate data includes (since 2010):

List of stockholders
All capital issues
Stock value over years
Compensation of boards and directors
Composition of boards and comittes
Family relations within the company
List of companies related to family members
Stock details
Intangible details
Auditing details
Dividends details

Installation

# CRAN (stable)
install.packages('GetFREData')

# github (development)
if (!require(devtools)) install.packages('devtools')
if (!require(GetFREData)) devtools::install_github('msperlin/GetFREData')

Example of usage

library(GetFREData)
library(tidyverse)

search_company('grendene', 
               cache_folder = tempdir())

l_fre <- get_fre_data(companies_cvm_codes = 19615,
                      fre_to_read = 'last',
                      first_year = 2020,
                      last_year = 2020, 
                      cache_folder = tempdir())
