intrinio

Unofficial Intrinio API client for Python. It gives easy access to financial data.

Setup

Install this package by using the pip tool:

pip install intrinio

Before retrieving data using the package the API username and password has to be configured, either by setting the username and password attributes of the intrinio package:

import intrinio
intrinio.client.username = 'USERNAME_FROM_INTRINIO'
intrinio.client.password = 'PASSWORD_FROM_INTRINIO'

Or by setting the system environment variables:

• INTRINIO_USERNAME
• INTRINIO_PASSWORD

Quick start

Install the intrinio package, import it and set username and password as above first.

Get prices starting at 2016-01-01 for Apple:

intrinio.prices('AAPL', start_date='2016-01-01')

Get yearly fundamentals including PE ratio, net debt, total capital and over 100 other variables for Apple:

intrinio.financials('AAPL')

Get company information about Google:

intrinio.companies('GOOG')

Get company information about Google using the low level get function:

intrinio.get('companies', identifier='GOOG')

Get cik, lei, name and ticker of companies with "Bank" in their company name:

intrinio.companies(query='Bank')

Screen stocks with PE higher than 10:

intrinio.screener('pricetoearnings~gt~10')

Usage

There are a high- and low level functions used to access the Intrinio API.

The high level functions are mostly simple wrappers of the get function that retrieves all data with optional parameters to filter the data. They might also do some data conversion like for example the prices endpoint where the date column is used as the index for the Pandas DataFrame.

For more information about available endpoints and their parameters, see Intrinio API documentation at: Intrinio Docs

Low level functions

Tests

The tests will cache API requests in ~/.cache/intrinio to make the tests go faster and avoid excessive API traffic. It is not recommended to use caching for non-testing purposes, it should only be used for tests.

Run the tests using pytest in the root directory of the project:

py.test

Or run the runtests script to also generate a coverage report (saved to tmp/).

bin/runtests
