Morningstar scraping utilities

MorningstarFetcher

MorningstarFetcher is a Python package designed to interact with Morningstar’s public endpoints, simplifying access to financial data across various asset types (stocks, ETFs, mutual funds). It provides an interface for running market screeners and retrieving detailed information on specific securities. Its main goal is to streamline data retrieval for asset management—for example, to analyze portfolios, compare funds, or monitor risk and performance metrics.

Screener Class Overview

The Screener class enables you to access Morningstar’s global screener, allowing you to filter and list securities by investment universe and geographic market. Supported universes include "stocks", "etfs", and "mutual_funds". Use screener.get() with your chosen type to retrieve results for that universe. The class provides available markets via the markets attribute and country codes via country_codes, making it easy to target specific regions. Results from get() are returned as a pandas.DataFrame with columns such as securityID, name, and isin. You can further refine your search using custom filters based on fields available for each investment type. To see all filterable fields, access the {your_investment_type}_fields attribute. For full details, refer to the Screener documentation.

Instantiation Example

from morningstarFetcher import Screener

# Initialize the screener and inspect available markets
screener = Screener()
print("Available markets:", screener.markets)
print("Country codes:", screener.country_codes.keys())

# Fetch the first page of ETFs on the French market
results_df = screener.get("etfs", "fr")
print(results_df.head(5))  # DataFrame with securityID, name, isin, etc.

# Extract the first securityID
default_id = results_df.iloc[0]["securityID"]
print("First French ETF securityID:", default_id)

The returned DataFrame contains one row per security, each with a unique securityID. You can use this identifier with the ETF, Stock, or Fund classes to retrieve comprehensive details and attributes for that security.

---

Asset Classes Overview:

The ETF, Fund, and Stock classes each represent a specific asset type and automatically retrieve relevant data from Morningstar when instantiated with a securityID. These classes provide direct access to key attributes such as price, performance, portfolio holdings, fund managers, insider transactions, and financial statements, depending on the asset type. Each class is designed for intuitive exploration of available data fields and methods. For comprehensive attribute and method documentation, see the documentation.

Instantiation Example:

from morningstarFetcher import ETF, Fund, Stock

etf_id   = "your_etf_id"
fund_id  = "your_fund_id"
stock_id = "your_stock_id"

etf   = ETF(etf_id)
fund  = Fund(fund_id)
stock = Stock(stock_id)

print("ETF price info:", etf.price)
print("Fund managers:", fund.people)
print("Stock valuation metrics:", stock.valuation)

Each object automatically retrieves all available fields for the given securityID.

Example: Fetching and Analyzing Mutual Funds in France

The following example demonstrates how to use the library to retrieve and analyze fund data for mutual funds. In this example we will focus on mutual funds domiciled in France with specific performance metrics. For this, we will use the Screener class to filter funds based on their 5-year total return and alpha, and then retrieve detailed portfolio holdings for each fund.

First we will set up the screener with the desired filters, then fetch the top mutual funds in France based on these filters.

import morningstarFetcher as mf
from pprint import pprint

screener = mf.Screener() # Initialize the screener

filters = [
  ["totalReturn[5y]", ">", "20"], # 5 year total return > 20%
  ["alpha[5yMonthly]", ">", "1"], # 5 year monthly alpha > 1
  ["domicile", "=", "FRA"] # Domicile in France
  ]

Note: The filters can be adjusted based on your specific requirements. The above filters are just examples to demonstrate the functionality. You can apply filter to any field included in the {investment_type}_fields attribute of the Screener class.

We then proceed to fetch the mutual funds using these filters and extract their security IDs to create Fund objects.

french_mkt_funds_df = screener.get("mutual_funds", "fr", sort_by="totalReturn[5y]:desc", pages=1, filters=filters) # Fetch top mutual funds in France based on previous filters
french_mkt_funds_ids = french_mkt_funds_df["securityID"].tolist() # Extract security IDs of the funds
french_mkt_funds = [mf.Fund(sec_id, lazy=True) for sec_id in french_mkt_funds_ids] # Create Fund objects for each security ID

The french_mkt_funds_df DataFrame has more than 230 columns, including detailed performance metrics, risk assessments, and other valuable information about each fund. You can explore the Screener class documentation or its {investment_type}_fields attribute to see all available fields.

Next, we will iterate through each fund to extract its portfolio holdings and summarize the data. We will create a dictionary to hold the portfolio data for each fund, including its holdings summary and detailed holdings.

french_market_funds_portfolios = {} # Dictionary to hold fund portfolios

for fund in french_mkt_funds:
    
    fund_id = fund.security_metadata['securityID'] if 'securityID' in fund.security_metadata else fund.security_metadata['secId']
    fund_isin = fund.security_metadata['isin']
    fund_name = fund.security_metadata['name']
    
    fund_holdings_summary = fund.portfolio_holdings.get('holdingSummary', {}) # Summary of holdings
    
    fund_equity_holdings = fund.portfolio_holdings.get('equityHoldingPage', {}).get('holdingList', []) # Raw list of equity holdings
    fund_bond_holdings = fund.portfolio_holdings.get('boldHoldingPage', {}).get('holdingList', []) # Raw list of bond holdings
    fund_other_holdings = fund.portfolio_holdings.get('otherHoldingPage', {}).get('holdingList', []) # Raw list of other holdings

    fund_holdings = {
        
        "equity": [
            {
                "id": security.get("securityID", None) or security.get("secId", None),
                "isin": security.get("isin", None),
                "name": security.get("securityName", None),
                "sector": security.get("sector", None),
                "country": security.get("country", None),
                "weighting": security.get("weighting", None),
                "firstBoughtDate": security.get("firstBoughtDate", None),
            } for security in fund_equity_holdings  # "Cleaned" List of equity holdings
        ],
        "bonds": [
            {
                "id": security.get("securityID", None) or security.get("secId", None),
                "isin": security.get("isin", None),
                "name": security.get("securityName", None),
                "sector": security.get("sector", None),
                "country": security.get("country", None),
                "weighting": security.get("weighting", None),
                "firstBoughtDate": security.get("firstBoughtDate", None),
            } for security in fund_bond_holdings # "Cleaned" List of bond holdings
        ],
        "other": [
            {
                "id": security.get("securityID", None) or security.get("secId", None),
                "isin": security.get("isin", None),
                "name": security.get("securityName", None),
                "sector": security.get("superSectorName", None),
                "country": security.get("country", None),
                "weighting": security.get("weighting", None),
                "firstBoughtDate": security.get("firstBoughtDate", None),
            } for security in fund_other_holdings # "Cleaned" List of other holdings
        ]
    } # Consolidated holdings data
    
    french_market_funds_portfolios[fund_id] = {
        'name': fund_name,
        'isin': fund_isin,
        'holdings_summary': fund_holdings_summary,
        'holdings': fund_holdings
    } # Store the portfolio data

Now that we have the portfolio data for each fund, we can analyze and print the holdings summary and detailed holdings for a specific fund.

id = french_mkt_funds_ids[0] # Example: Use the first fund's ID to retrieve its portfolio data
data = french_market_funds_portfolios[id] # Retrieve the portfolio data for the selected fund

holdings_summary = data['holdings_summary']
print("Holdings Summary:", end=f'\n{"-"*80}\n')
pprint(holdings_summary, compact=True, sort_dicts=False) # Print holdings summary
print()

equity_holdings = pd.DataFrame(data['holdings']['equity']).sort_values(by='weighting', ascending=False)
print("Equity Holdings:", end=f'\n{"-"*80}\n')
pprint(equity_holdings, compact=False, sort_dicts=False) # Print equity holdings

other_holdings = pd.DataFrame(data['holdings']['other']).sort_values(by='weighting', ascending=False)
print("Other Holdings:", end=f'\n{"-"*80}\n')
pprint(other_holdings, compact=False, sort_dicts=False) # Print other holdings
print()

equity_weight = equity_holdings['weighting'].sum()
print(f"Equity Weight: {equity_weight}") # Check total equity weight

other_weight = other_holdings['weighting'].sum()
print(f"Other Weight: {other_weight}") # Check total other weight

total = equity_weight + other_weight
print(f"Total Weight: {total}") # Check total weight of all holdings

The output is as follows:
