Load Data

These functions are used for loading simfin datasets into Pandas DataFrames. If the data-file does not exist in the data-directory on disk, then it is first downloaded from the SimFin server and saved in the local data-directory, so it can be loaded very quickly in the future. The main function is load which is specialized using functools.partial into e.g. load_companies, load_shareprices, etc. See Tutorial 01 for detailed examples. If you want to load several datasets, then it is easier to use Data Hubs.

For convenience, the most important functions can be called directly from the simfin namespace. For example, instead of calling simfin.load.load_income() you can simply call simfin.load_income()
