Snatsch - ISO_3166, ISO_4217

A lightweight python library to retrieve countries and currencies based on ISO_3166-1 and ISO_4217 standards. This library was created despite of many others existing onces because it is lightweight, simple and easy to use.

Getting Started

pip install snatsch-iso

Usage

All ISO collections are parsed and structure on a standard way:

• Collection.get_all(): retrieve a list of instances
• Collection.search_keys(): provides a list of all possible keys that can be used for search_by
• Collection.search_by(): get a list of instances or a single instance that match the search criteria.

To retrieve information about any of the iso collection you can follow these examples:

from iso import iso4217

# get a list of all Currencies
iso4217.Currencies.get_all()
[Currency(code='AED', num='784', d='2', currency='United Arab Emirates dirham', countries='United Arab Emirates'),
 Currency(code='AFN', num='971', d='2', currency='Afghan afghani', countries='Afghanistan'),
 Currency(code='ALL', num='8', d='2', currency='Albanian lek', countries='Albania'),
 Currency(code='AMD', num='51', d='2', currency='Armenian dram', countries='Armenia'),

 . . .]

 # get possible search keys
iso4217.Currencies.search_keys()
['code', 'num']

# get a Currency
iso4217.Currencies.search_by(code="BDT")
Currency(code='BDT', num='50', d='2', currency='Bangladeshi taka', countries='Bangladesh')

iso4217.Currencies.search_by(num="50")
Currency(code='BDT', num='50', d='2', currency='Bangladeshi taka', countries='Bangladesh')
