tidyxbrl: The tidy Python XBRL Interface

What is it?

tidyxbrl is a Python package that parses XBRL data files and returns dynamic structures that succinctly store the underlying data. This package additionally can interface with the XBRL API and SEC EDGAR interfaces, with further expansion to other XBRL data providers planned for the near future. This package aims to the be the simplest and most effective method to parse XBRL data in Python.

The XBRL Standard

eXtensible Business Reporting Language (XBRL) is a standardized financial reporting framework to structure financial reporting in a way that enables automation and machine processing. This package aims to enable its users to realize the full capabilities of the XBRL standard through parsing files and interfacing with the applicable APIs.

Examples

xbrl_parse - Parse xbrl files or website urls

tidyxbrl.xbrl_parse("https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019321000010/aapl-20201226_htm.xml")

xbrl_query - Query the XBRL API

response = tidyxbrl.xbrl_apikey(username=username, password=password, client_id=client_id, client_secret=client_secret, platform='pc', grant_type='password', refresh_token='')
dataresponse = tidyxbrl.xbrl_query(access_token=response.access_token.values[0], 
               baseapiurl='https://api.xbrl.us/api/v1/report/search?',
               queryparameters = {'report.entity-name': "APPLE INC.",
                                  'fields': "report.id,report.entity-name,report.filing-date,report.base-taxonomy,report.document-type,report.accession,entity.ticker,report.sic-code,entity.cik,report.entry-type,report.period-end,report.sec-url,report.checks-run,report.accepted-timestamp.sort(DESC),report.limit(20),report.offset(0),dts.id,report.entry-url",
                                  'report.document-type': "10-K"
                        })

edgar_query - Query SEC data using the Central Index Key (CIK)

companycik = tidyxbrl.edgar_cik("ZILLOW GROUP, INC")
desiredcorp = str(companycik[companycik.company.str.contains("ZILLOW GROUP, INC.")]['cik_str'].unique()[0])
tidyxbrl.edgar_query(desiredcorp, query_type = 'submissions')
tidyxbrl.edgar_query(desiredcorp, query_type = 'companyconcept', queryextension = '/us-gaap/AccountsPayableCurrent')
tidyxbrl.edgar_query(desiredcorp, query_type = 'companyfacts')

edgar_frames - Aggregates one fact for each reporting entity

tidyxbrl.edgar_frames(urldescriptor = 'us-gaap/NonoperatingIncomeExpense/USD/CY2019Q1I')
