secsgml 0.1.1

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

secsgml also attempts to standardize the metadata between formats. e.g. 'CENTRAL INDEX KEY' will be mapped to 'cik'.

Installation

pip install secsgml

Quickstart

Parse into memory

from secsgml import parse_sgml_submission_into_memory
metadata,documents = 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.
