Project description

FactSet

FactSet Funds client library for Python

API Version PyPi Apache-2 license

FactSet Mutual Funds and ETFs Reference provides fund-specific reference information as well as FactSet's proprietary classification system. It includes but is not limited to the following coverage

  • Fund descriptions
  • A seven-tier classification system
  • Leverage information
  • Fees and expenses
  • Portfolio managers

FactSet Mutual Funds Time Series provides quantitative data items on a historical basis. It includes but is not limited to the following coverage

  • Net asset value
  • Fund flows
  • Assets under management
  • Total return

In addition to core reference and time series data, the API enables broader fund analytics and workflows, including:

  • Fund summary and classification insights such as domicile, structure, segments, and similar funds
  • Performance analytics including historical returns, snapshot returns across time horizons, and yield data
  • Cost, fee, and risk metrics including expense ratios, regulatory/tax exposure, and risk measures
  • Portfolio exposure and analytics including asset allocation, sector weightage, geographic exposure, and top holdings
  • Trading and liquidity characteristics for evaluating tradability
  • ETF-specific scoring and ratings to assess efficiency, tradability, and fit relative to benchmarks
  • Distribution and income data for understanding payouts and investor returns

This API is rate-limited to 10 requests per second and 10 concurrent requests per user.

This Python package is automatically generated by the OpenAPI Generator project:

  • API version: 3.0.0

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.FactSetFunds

logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

configuration = fds.sdk.FactSetFunds.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.FactSetFunds

configuration = fds.sdk.FactSetFunds.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.FactSetFunds

configuration = fds.sdk.FactSetFunds.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.FactSetFunds

configuration = fds.sdk.FactSetFunds.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.FactSetFunds.apis and fds.sdk.FactSetFunds.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.FactSetFunds.api.default_api import DefaultApi
  • from fds.sdk.FactSetFunds.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.FactSetFunds
from fds.sdk.FactSetFunds.apis import *
from fds.sdk.FactSetFunds.models import *
