sec-api-io

Unofficial wrapper for the sec-api.io API. Built with nbdev.

Install and Setup

Run in terminal:

pip install sec_api_io

How to use

(Optional) Set API key with .env file

It’s highly recommended to set your API key in a .env file to avoid setting it in the code.

1. Make a copy of the .env.template file in the root directory of the project.
2. Rename the copied file to .env.
3. Open the .env file and locate the SECAPIO_API_KEY variable.
4. Fill in the value for the SECAPIO_API_KEY variable.
   • You can obtain a free key from sec-api.io.
   • Note: The first 100 requests are free.
5. Save the .env file next to your notebook or script.

Important Note: Depending on your geographical location, you might need to use a VPN set to a United States location to access sec-api.io API.

Let’s load the API key from .env file into the environment variable SECAPIO_API_KEY

!pip install -q python-dotenv

from dotenv import load_dotenv

load_dotenv() # Load the API key from .env file into the environment variable SECAPIO_API_KEY

True

import os 
from dotenv import load_dotenv

if 'SECAPIO_API_KEY' not in os.environ:
    assert load_dotenv()
    
assert 'SECAPIO_API_KEY' in os.environ

import os 
from dotenv import load_dotenv

if 'SECAPIO_API_KEY' not in os.environ:
    assert load_dotenv()
    
assert 'SECAPIO_API_KEY' in os.environ
assert os.environ['SECAPIO_API_KEY'].strip()

Get latest 10-Q report by ticker

from sec_api_io.secapio_data_retriever import SecapioDataRetriever

retriever = SecapioDataRetriever()
# retriever = SecapioDataRetriever(api_key=...) # If you don't want to use .env file

metadata = retriever.retrieve_report_metadata('10-Q', latest_from_ticker='AAPL')
url = metadata["linkToFilingDetails"]

assert url.startswith('https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/')
url

'https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019323000077/aapl-20230701.htm'

Download 10-Q HTML split into sections

html = retriever.get_report_html('10-Q', url)
assert html

for line in html.splitlines():
