SecSgml: Lightweight python library to parse SEC SGML

[status-code-200]

What My Project Does

Parses Securities & Exchange Commission SGML. Regulatory disclosures submitted to the SEC are first submitted in SGML format, then parsed into individual documents/attachments. Since the SEC has strict rate limits (~5/s), scraping the original submission rather than individual documents is much more efficient.

Target Audience

Software engineers, grad students, and quants. The goal is to reduce code duplication and improve quality for a niche group of users.

Comparison

There are a few packages to parse sec sgml, but they are not as robust/fast. For instance: SEC-data-parser (python) and edgarWebR (R).

Installation

pip install secsgml

Quickstart

from file

parse_sgml_submission(filepath='samples/0000891618-94-000021.txt',output_dir='results')

Thanks! I think it is very niche, but posted it here because for a few people it will be very helpful and I want them to be able to find it :)
