error: cannot join on columns 'elementId' x 'elementId': about finstr HOT 5 CLOSED

For now use options(stringsAsFactors = FALSE) before calling xbrDoAll.
It is recommended in XBRL package (see ?xbrlDoAll) so finstr::xbrl_get_statements expects data frames without factors.

Example:

library(finstr)
inst<- "http://edgar.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000119312514383437/aapl-20140927.xml"

old_o <- options(stringsAsFactors = FALSE)
xbrl.vars<- xbrlDoAll(inst, verbose=TRUE)
options(old_o)

st2013<-xbrl_get_statements(xbrl.vars)
