FactSet Search Answers client library for Python

FactSet Search Answers client library for Python

The FactSet Search Answers API provides answers to search queries, reflecting the data shown within FactSet Search Answers, and allowing you to easily add financial data to your widgets, lookups, bots, and assistants. The API understands a fixed amount of search terms and returns structured data from FactSet’s many data sources. Possible answers include Price of a Company, Top 10 Year-to-Date Gainers, Revenue per Passenger Mile, and many more.

Using Pandas

To convert an API response to a Pandas DataFrame, it is necessary to transform it first to a dictionary.

import pandas as pd

response_dict = api_response.to_dict()['data']

simple_json_response = pd.DataFrame(response_dict)
nested_json_response = pd.json_normalize(response_dict)

Debugging

The SDK uses the standard library logging module.

Setting debug to True on an instance of the Configuration class sets the log-level of related packages to DEBUG and enables additional logging in Pythons HTTP Client.

Note: This prints out sensitive information (e.g. the full request and response). Use with care.

import logging
import fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

configuration = fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers.Configuration(...)
configuration.debug = True

Configure a Proxy

You can pass proxy settings to the Configuration class:

• proxy: The URL of the proxy to use.
• proxy_headers: a dictionary to pass additional headers to the proxy (e.g. Proxy-Authorization).

import fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers

configuration = fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers.Configuration(
    # ...
    proxy="http://secret:password@localhost:5050",
    proxy_headers={
        "Custom-Proxy-Header": "Custom-Proxy-Header-Value"
    }
)

Custom SSL Certificate

TLS/SSL certificate verification can be configured with the following Configuration parameters:

• ssl_ca_cert: a path to the certificate to use for verification in PEM format.
• verify_ssl: setting this to False disables the verification of certificates. Disabling the verification is not recommended, but it might be useful during local development or testing.

import fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers

configuration = fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers.Configuration(
    # ...
    ssl_ca_cert='/path/to/ca.pem'
)

Request Retries

In case the request retry behaviour should be customized, it is possible to pass a urllib3.Retry object to the retry property of the Configuration.

from urllib3 import Retry
import fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers

configuration = fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers.Configuration(
    # ...
)

configuration.retries = Retry(total=3, status_forcelist=[500, 502, 503, 504])

Notes for Large OpenAPI documents

If the OpenAPI document is large, imports in fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers.apis and fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers.models may fail with a RecursionError indicating the maximum recursion limit has been exceeded. In that case, there are a couple of solutions:

Solution 1: Use specific imports for apis and models like:

• from fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers.api.default_api import DefaultApi
• from fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers.model.pet import Pet

Solution 2: Before importing the package, adjust the maximum recursion limit as shown below:

import sys
sys.setrecursionlimit(1500)
import fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers
from fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers.apis import *
from fds.sdk.FactSetSearchAnswers.models import *
