litex.regon 1.0.9

An API for accessing a Polish REGON database

litex.regon - a frontend for Polish REGON database

Simple, pythonic wrapper for REGON database (web frontend is reachable at https://wyszukiwarkaregon.stat.gov.pl/appBIR/index.aspx). To access its SOAP API, one needs an USER_KEY issued by REGON administrators available at [e-mail].

Usage example below:

>>> from litex.regon import REGONAPI

REGONAPI accepts one argument: service URL (provided by REGON Administrators).

>>> api = REGONAPI(SERVICE_URL)

First, one needs to log in (using provided user key)

>>> api.login(USER_KEY)

After login, one can start querying the database. The search method accepts the following parameters:

• regon - single REGON number (either 9 or 14 digits long)
• krs - single 10 digit KRS number
• nip - single NIP (10 digits string)
• regons - a collection of REGONs (all of them have to be either 14 or 9 digits long)
• krss - a collection of KRSs
• nips - a collection of NIPs

Only one parameter is used in the query. If multiple ones are passed, first from the above list is taken into account.

Additionally, a detailed parameter can be passed: detailed=True causes search method to fetch default detailed report.

>>> entities = api.search(nip='9999999999')

entities is a list of LXML objectify objects wrapping the search results (up to 100). If search was called with detailed=True, the full report is available as the detailed attribute.

If one knows the REGON of a business entity and an detailed report name, a full report can be fetched directly:

>>> detailed_report = api.full_report('99999999', 'PublDaneRaportFizycznaOsoba')

Summary report with a list of REGONs for the given criteria can be fetched by:

>>> summary_report = api.summary_report(
        '2020-01-01', 
        'BIR11NowePodmiotyPrawneOrazDzialalnosciOsFizycznych'
    )

Report names can be found in the documentation provided by REGON admins.
