secsgml 0.0.3

Parse Securities and Exchange Commission Standard Generalized Markup Language (SEC SGML) files

SEC SGML

A python library to parse Securities and Exchange Commission Standardized Generalized Markup Language. Used to power the open-source datamule project.

Currently parses two types of files:

1. Daily Archives
2. Submissions

Will be expanded to also parse SGML Tables.

All Variations

Installation

pip install secsgml

Quickstart

Parse into memory

from secsgml import parse_sgml_submission_into_memory
metadata,results = parse_sgml_submission_into_memory(filepath="000000443897000001.sgml")

Parse to file

from secsgml import parse_sgml_submission
# from file
parse_sgml_submission(filepath='samples/0000891618-94-000021.txt',output_dir='results')

# from content
parse_sgml_submission(content=sgml_content,output_dir='results')

Note

Will be giving parse_sgml_submission_into_memory more love, will have to refactor parse_sgml_submission afterwards.

Future

• SGML Table parsing
• Optimization + refactor in Cython/ C bindings.
• Standardize metadata for different file types. Keys and values vary across variations, e.g. 'CIK' vs 'CENTRAL INDEX KEY' as well as values such as '34' vs '1934'
