interfax-client

Python client to get started quickly with Spark-Interfax API (https://www.spark-interfax.ru/integration)

How to use

1. Clone this repo to your computer.

2. You will need API login and password to be able to use Spark-Interfax, save them in interfax.env file in project folder:

INTERFAX_LOGIN=abc
INTERFAX_PASSWORD=zzz

interfax.env is listed in .gitignore to prevent sharing in Github. Keep .gitignore this way, otherwise you risk compromising the password.

3. Install requirements:

pip install requirements.txt

4. Run example.py for simple example:

from settings import login, password
from interfax import Reporter

with Reporter(login, password) as reporter: 
    a = reporter.GetCompanyShortReport(sparkId=210)
    
assert a["INN"] == "7706107510"
assert a["ShortNameEn"] == "Rosneft Oil Company"

Notes

• Original intent for API is integration with other client software (like 1C), not as an end-user functionality
• We still can make use of API to cache queries in local files or a database - for recycling the queries and complex constructs of the data
• We are grateful to advice and bits of code shared by New Economic School / CEFIR who are early adopters of Spark-Interfax API for academic research
