# SEC EDGAR Financial Statement Data Sets

This dataset contains structured, numeric data extracted from corporate financial statements (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, etc.) filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). 

It has been processed into a highly compressed, instantly queryable **DuckDB** database as part of the [Datapond](https://datapond-db.github.io/website/) open-source registry.

## Dataset Details
- **Source:** [U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission](https://www.sec.gov/dera/data/financial-statement-data-sets)
- **Timeframe:** 15 Years (2009 to 2026)
- **Format:** DuckDB (`sec_edgar.duckdb`)
- **Row Count:** ~231.5 Million rows
- **Size:** ~5.27 GB
- **License:** Public Domain

## How to use with Datapond

Since this database is hosted on Hugging Face, you can query it **remotely over HTTP** without downloading the entire 1GB file! 

First, install the Datapond Python client:
```bash
pip install datapond
```

Then, execute SQL directly against this repository:
```python
import datapond

# Connect to the remote DuckDB file
con = datapond.connect("sec_edgar")

# Query the database
df = con.execute("""
    SELECT s.name, n.tag, n.value, n.ddate
    FROM numbers n
    JOIN submissions s ON n.adsh = s.adsh
    WHERE n.tag = 'NetIncomeLoss'
    LIMIT 10
""").df()

print(df)
```

## Schema

*For a complete list of columns, data types, and definitions, please refer to the [DICTIONARY.md](DICTIONARY.md) file.*

The database contains the following core tables:
- `submissions` (`sub.txt`): Index of all filings, company names, industry codes, and filing dates.
- `numbers` (`num.txt`): The actual numeric financial data points (Assets, Liabilities, Net Income, etc.).
- `presentations` (`pre.txt`): How line items are presented in the statements.
- `tags` (`tag.txt`): Definitions and labels for the XBRL financial tags.
- `_metadata`: Required Datapond registry metadata.

## How to Build

If you wish to rebuild the database locally from the raw SEC files:

1. (Optional) If you want the script to automatically generate the Datapond `DICTIONARY.md`, ensure the Datapond registry repository is cloned in a sibling directory:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/datapond-db/registry.git ../registry
```

2. Ensure you have `uv` installed, then set your SEC user agent (required by the SEC EDGAR API to prevent rate-limiting/blocks):
```bash
# On Windows PowerShell
$env:SEC_USER_AGENT="Your Name your.email@example.com"

# On Mac/Linux
export SEC_USER_AGENT="Your Name your.email@example.com"
```

3. Run the orchestration script:
```bash
uv run python main.py
```
*(Tip: You can run a quick test build of just the last 4 quarters instead of the full 15-year dataset by passing `--quarters 4`)*

This script will:
- Download the raw ZIP files from the SEC
- Ingest them using explicit `schema.sql` strict typing
- Apply data transformations (e.g., date parsing, zero-padding CIKs)
- Generate Datapond `_columns` and `DICTIONARY.md` (if the registry repo exists)
- Clean up all temporary `raw/` files
