This means that we can take steps to ensure that the same process gets followed every time that a filing gets created.

Sometimes, however, you are performing a task that must end with finality. In this case you can exit the program that is running your script. Today we are going to look at the ways in which you can accomplish this, how they are different, and times in which you would use each.

Luckily for us we have a number of functions in Legato that can allow us to read data from a table as though we were looking at a spreadsheet. This means that we can focus on developing tools to focus on aggregating the data itself rather than reinventing the wheel every time that we want to retrieve data from a table.

LDC #117: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 1: Collection - Novaworks Weblog
If you are not familiar with the term Section 16, Section 16 is a section of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In fact, it is section 16 of the act. Section 16 is a way to attempt to mitigate insider trading at companies. It states that any person who is a director of the company, an officer of the company, or a 10% or more beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, they must file Forms 3, 4, and 5. These forms report the level of equity interests whenever a significant change occurs. The terms that you will see referenced here are reporting owner, who is the person of interest here, and issuer, who is the company that in which the reporting owner has equity.
LDC #122: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 2: Aggregation - Novaworks Weblog
A few weeks ago we started building a Section 16 Data Scraper with the intention of a user being able to enter a CIK and Legato downloading all of the CIK’s Section 16 filings, putting the data together into a spreadsheet, and then being able to start a Section 16 filing by using that data as an entry point. At the end of the last post we had a script that would go out and download all of a singular CIK’s filings. It would also cache any filings it saw so that we were only downloading each individual filing once. This week we are going to continue onward and code a system to scrape useful data out of the filings and put it together into a CSV file.

This week we are going to finish up the base functionality by reading through all of the transactions and finding the current holdings. Additionally we are going to perform a large amount of refactoring as well as add in the functionality to look at reported holdings.
LDC #131: Building a Section 16 Data Scraper, Part 4: Dialog - Novaworks Weblog
