I know one can use GetFundamental() in the Research Notebook and one can use FineSelectionFunction in AddUniverse() to filter out a universe of stocks. But is there a way to get historical fundamental data? In other words, similar to History() where one can get the historical prices of a stock, is there a method for getting historical fundamental data in the Algo environment? Thanks.

Unfortunately, it is not possible at the moment.
GetFundamental was specially designed for Research. It is in our TODO list to extend History and Warmup feature to Universe Selection, but we are not working on that yet.

Thanks for the comment. In that case, would I need to import fundamental data on my own in my Algo? To do that, I would use AddData() method right?
Alexandre Catarino
Yes. you would have to rely on the Importing Custom Data feature.
It is possible to make historical data request for custom data.

I am understanding correctly that we cannot use the morningstar data inside of our alpha?

You can access use Fundamental data on security objects "security.Fundamental". You can also pass any data anywhere via variables.Â
