Simple Python utility that downloads and extracts financial statement zip archives made publicly available by the US Securities and Exchange Comission (SEC) at https://www.sec.gov/dera/data/financial-statement-data-sets.html.

• Python version 3.3 or higher
• Modern version of Windows, Mac OS X, Linux

SECDataTools/GetData may be run as a standalone script. With no arguments provided all available datasets are downloaded to an ./sec_zip subdirectory within the current working directory, and then extracted to the cwd:

The same can be achieved from within a Python module as follows:

import SECDataTools as sec

sec.download()
sec.extract()

Additional command line and module functionality is available. See documentation for additional details.
