Quickstart

Install from PyPI

pip install ipo-mine

Using ipo-mine to Download an IPO Filing (Python API)

from download import IPODownloader, Company

downloader = IPODownloader(
    email="example@gmail.com",
    company="Your Example Organization"
)

company = Company.from_ticker("SNOW")

company_filings = downloader.download_ipo(
    company,
    limit=1,
    save_filing=True,
    save_images=False,
    verbose=True
)

filing = company_filings.filings[0]

Parsing the Table of Contents

results = parser.parse_company(
    ticker="SNOW",
    validate=False
)

CLI Usage

You can use the command-line interface to download and parse filings without writing Python code.

Download

Download the latest S-1 filing for a company:

ipo-mine download SNOW --email your@email.com --org "Your Org"

Options:

• --limit N: Download previous N filings (default: 1)
• --images: Download and extract images from the filing
• --all: Download all available IPO filings for the ticker

Parse

Parse a downloaded filing into section-specific files:

ipo-mine parse SNOW

Options:

• --validate: Enable LLM-based validation of extracted sections
• --provider: LLM provider (anthropic, openai, google, huggingface)
• --mode: Validation mode (binary, likert)

Validate

Run LLM validation on existing parsed text files to check for truncation or completeness.

ipo-mine validate SNOW --provider anthropic

Supported Providers

You can choose from the following providers (requires API keys):

Validation Modes

• Binary (--mode binary): Returns "Yes" (Valid) or "No" (Truncated/Incomplete). Default.
• Likert (--mode likert): Returns a confidence score from 1 (Incomplete) to 5 (Complete).

Authentication

The CLI will look for API keys in this order:

1. Command Line Argument: --api-key "sk-..."
2. Environment Variable: e.g., export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."
3. Interactive Prompt: If neither is found, the CLI will securely prompt you to enter the key (input is hidden).

Examples

Validate using OpenAI with Likert scale:

ipo-mine validate TSLA --provider openai --mode likert

Validate using Google Gemini with explicit key:

ipo-mine validate TSLA --provider google --api-key "your-api-key"

Notes

• The SEC requires a descriptive User-Agent. Provide a real organization name and your email.
• download_ipo returns a CompanyFilings object; use company_filings.filings[0] to pass a Filing into the parser.
• The parser automatically chooses HTML or text parsing based on the filing URL.
