Add ability to download filings for all tickers in a particular date range

[jadchaar]

Key idea: download all filings for every single ticker in a particular date range (e.g. all 10-K forms filed in 2018).

This could potentially facilitate this feature.

This is a key feature for which I have been looking. More specifically, my use case is to download all filings from a particular day and then perform keyword searches to flag for further examination and review.

Hey @jasontwright, it seems like some recent upgrades to Edgar can enable this functionality, but it will require a large rewrite of existing code. I will start working on this today!

+1 please!
I'd love to be able to download all filings for 'today'

The most naive approach that I see is to extend the solution you already have in you "Advanced Use" section of the read.me

# Get the latest supported filings, if available, for a
# specified list of tickers and CIKs
equity_ids = ["AAPL", "MSFT", "0000102909", "V", "FB"]
for equity_id in equity_ids:
    for filing_type in dl.supported_filings:
        dl.get(filing_type, equity_id, amount=1)

The 1st step could be to send request to EDGAR to get the full index of all CIKs available and pass the received data to the
equity_ids list. Remove the amount and add the date range

Some inspiration can also be gained from secedgar package. It "does" precisely that, but it's so buggy and clunky and constantly gets 403 error that this functionality is unusable in real world scenario

Has this been implemented or dropped? I am hoping to use this feature as well.
