|
|
|
|
Asynchronous HTTP requests are currently used by default.
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
- [Python](https://www.python.org/) 3.8+
|
|
|
|
Should run on most Linux/Windows systems. Tested on Arch and Windows 10.
|
|
|
|
### Building
|
|
|
|
Clone this repo, install `build` via pip, then run `python -m build`
|
|
from the repository's root directory. This should produce a `dist/`
|
|
subdirectory with a wheel (build) and archive (source) distribution.
|
|
The resulting `whl`-file can be installed via `pip install path/dist/***.whl`.
|
|
|
|
### Running
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ python -m mwfin -h
|
|
```
|
|
gives a description of available CLI parameters and their usage. For example, running
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ python -m mwfin -f output.json -Q AAPL
|
|
```
|
|
will retrieve the most current available quarterly data from all three financial statements Apple Inc. has published and save it in JSON format to `output.json`.
