openfigipy 0.1.5

A python wrapper around the Open FIGI API that leverages pandas DataFrames

openfigipy

A python wrapper around the Open FIGI v3 API that leverages pandas DataFrames to make requests and return data.

Features Include

• Automatically throttles requests to respect the API rate limit
• Automatically handles the chunking and retrieval of mapping jobs
• Automatically handles the pagination of search requests
• Queries are given by providing the relevant method with a pandas DataFrame, allowing easy integration with existing reference data pipelines.

Getting Started

To install this library simply run pip install openfigipy.

import pandas as pd
from openfigipy import OpenFigiClient

# api key can either be given with the api_key argument
# or set as the environment variable `OPENFIGI_API_KEY`
ofc = OpenFigiClient()

# establish a requests session
ofc.connect()

# create a dataframe of look-ups - each row represents one query that will
# be batched in jobs
# the column headers represent the relevant key from the open figi api
df = pd.DataFrame({'idType': ['TICKER', 'ID_BB_GLOBAL'],
    'idValue': ['IBM', 'BBG0032FLQC3'], 'currency': ['USD', 'USD'],
    'marketSecDes': ['Equity', 'Equity'], 'exchCode': ['US', None]})

print(df)

#          idType       idValue currency marketSecDes
# 0        TICKER           IBM      USD       Equity
# 1  ID_BB_GLOBAL  BBG0032FLQC3      USD       Equity


result = ofc.map(df)

print(result.head())

#        q_idType     q_idValue q_currency  ... shareClassFIGI securityType2  securityDescription
# 0        TICKER           IBM        USD  ...   BBG001S5S399  Common Stock                  IBM
# 1  ID_BB_GLOBAL  BBG0032FLQC3        USD  ...   BBG001S5N8V8  Common Stock                 AAPL

print(result.columns.tolist())
# ['q_idType',
#  'q_idValue',
#  'q_currency',
#  'q_marketSecDes',
#  'q_exchCode',
#  'query_number',
#  'status_code',
#  'status_message',
#  'figi',
#  'name',
#  'ticker',
#  'exchCode',
#  'compositeFIGI',
#  'securityType',
#  'marketSector',
#  'shareClassFIGI',
#  'securityType2',
#  'securityDescription']

The resulting dataframe will keep your original query columns, prefixed with q_ as well as the documented response from the Open FIGI API. This is to ensure there isn't an overlap i.e. if your query contains exchCode and the results do to. There are also some additional helper columns described below too.

query_number: Shows which query the result is related to, can be helpful when a query returns multiple matches.

result_number: Shows the order in which the results were returned by the Open FIGI API. Generally the best match is shown first (i.e. result_number 0)

status_code: one of ('success', 'warning', 'error') as per the documentation on the Open FIGI API.

status_message: The associated message with the given status_code. Helpful for understanding why results might not have been returned.

Running tests

To run all unit tests for this module:

$ pytest

Please be aware some tests might take some time since they call external APIs.
