This is a Python class that queries the API of GLEIF.org to return data about a specific entity (corporation.) It can also parse the XML-files provided by GLEIF.
Usage if you query the API:
from pygleif import GLEIF
data = GLEIF('8RS0AKOLN987042F2V04')
print(data.registration.initial_registration_date)
Usage if you use the XML files:
from pygleif import GLEIFParseRelationshipRecord
# XML is the content (converted to text) of a <RelationshipRecord>
data = GLEIFParseRelationshipRecord(XML)
print(data.raw.Relationship.StartNode.NodeID.text) # Uses BeautifulSoup to convert to object
There are also some examples available in the sources' example folder.
