Project description

Python SEC

Table of Contents

Overview

Current Version: 0.1.5

The Securities & Exchange Commission (SEC) has a treasure trove of business data available to indviduals for free. However, the biggest obstacle to getting this free data boils down to two challenges:

  1. Figuring out where it is
  2. Figuring out how to extract it

The Python SEC library (edgar) is designed to make the collection and the extraction of SEC data quick and effortless. The library was designed around some of the following goals:

  1. Making the usage of the EDGAR search system, in a prgorammatic fashion, more intuitive.
  2. Making the definition of queries more customizeable while still maintaining the overall clearity of the library.
  3. Standardize the returning content so that content is organized consistently and ensuring gaps in data are filled in or extended that way navigating to other directories or files can be done dynamically.
  4. Simplify the parsing of XBRL files so that data can be more easily manipulated.

Setup

Setup - PyPi Install:

To install the library, run the following command from the terminal.

pip install python-sec

Setup - PyPi Upgrade:

To upgrade the library, run the following command from the terminal.

pip install --upgrade python-sec

Setup - Local Install:

If you are planning to make modifications to this project or you would like to access it before it has been indexed on PyPi. I would recommend you either install this project in editable mode or do a local install. For those of you, who want to make modifications to this project. I would recommend you install the library in editable mode.

If you want to install the library in editable mode, make sure to run the setup.py file, so you can install any dependencies you may need. To run the setup.py file, run the following command in your terminal.

pip install -e .

If you don't plan to make any modifications to the project but still want to use it across your different projects, then do a local install.

pip install .

This will install all the dependencies listed in the setup.py file. Once done you can use the library wherever you want.

Setup - PyPi Install:

To install the library, run the following command from the terminal.

pip install python-sec

Setup - PyPi Upgrade:

To upgrade the library, run the following command from the terminal.

pip install --upgrade python-sec

Usage

Here is a simple example of using the edgar library to grab different groups of filings.

from pprint import pprint
from edgar.client import EdgarClient
from edgar.enums import StateCodes
from edgar.enums import CountryCodes
from edgar.enums import StandardIndustrialClassificationCodes

# Initialize the Edgar Client
edgar_client = EdgarClient()

# Initialize the Company Services.
company_services = edgar_client.companies()

# Grab all the companies that are based in Texas.
pprint(company_services.get_companies_by_state(state_code='TX'))

# Alternatively, if you didn't know the 2 letter code you could pass through an Enum.
pprint(
    company_services.get_companies_by_state(
        state_code=StateCodes.West_Virginia
    )
)

# Grab all the companies that are based in Australia, same logic here with the Enums.
pprint(
    company_services.get_companies_by_country(
        country_code=CountryCodes.AUSTRALIA
    )
)
