EDGAR

A small library to access files from SEC's edgar.

Installation

pip install edgar

Example

To get a company's latest 5 10-Ks, run

from edgar import Company
company = Company("Oracle Corp", "0001341439")
tree = company.get_all_filings(filing_type = "10-K")
docs = Company.get_documents(tree, no_of_documents=5)

or

from edgar import Company, TXTML

company = Company("INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS MACHINES CORP", "0000051143")
doc = company.get_10K()
text = TXTML.parse_full_10K(doc)

To get all companies and find a specific one, run

from edgar import Edgar
edgar = Edgar()
possible_companies = edgar.find_company_name("Cisco System")

To avoid pull of all company data from sec.gov on Edgar initialization, pass in a local path to the data

from edgar import Edgar
edgar = Edgar("/path/to/cik-lookup-data.txt")
possible_companies = edgar.find_company_name("Cisco System")

To get XBRL data, run

from edgar import Company, XBRL, XBRLElement

company = Company("Oracle Corp", "0001341439")
results = company.get_data_files_from_10K("EX-101.INS", isxml=True)
xbrl = XBRL(results[0])
XBRLElement(xbrl.relevant_children_parsed[15]).to_dict() // returns a dictionary of name, value, and schemaRef
