Welcome to FinMesh’s documentation!
FinMesh is a python-based package that brings together financial data from various sources in one place for ease of use and distribution. The four main sections of FinMesh are (1) the IEX REST API, (2) data from the US treasury, data from the US Federal Reserve Economic Data, and (4) data from the SECs EDGAR system.
The purpose of this package and its sub-packages was originally to practice interacting with API data. With third-party API packages there is always the risk of outages or bugs. In building the original IEX wrapper we sought to build something easy to understand and use, that can be updated quickly and accurately.
With the addition of the US Federal data the opportunity arose to create a package that could deliver all sorts of economic and security data from one place. In doing so we hope to create a low-barrier way for beginners to play with large and very useful data sets.
In the future, this package will be updated with new financial and economic APIs. If you know of a low or no cost API that could be incorporated please raise it as an issue and we will work to have it done ASAP.
