Pycamt¶
CAMT (Cash Management) is a set of bank statement messages defined by ISO 20022, considered the universal financial industry message scheme. There are different standards for different bank statement types. This article focuses specifically on camt.053.
The camt.053 is a detailed bank to customer statement listing all entries booked on the customer’s bank account on a given day. It can be considered an alternative (or replacement) of the less structured MT 940 bank file.
Overview¶
Pycamt is a flexible and extensible Python class designed to parse CAMT.053 XML files, which are used for bank-to-customer account report messages in the financial industry. The parser supports multiple versions of the CAMT.053 standard, making it a versatile tool for extracting financial transaction data.
Installation¶
To use Camt053Parser, simply copy the Camt053Parser.py file into your project directory, or include it as part of your Python package.
pip install pycamt
Usage¶
Creating an Instance¶
You can create an instance of the Camt053Parser by providing the XML data as a string:
from Camt053Parser import Camt053Parser
xml_data = "<Document>...</Document>" # Your CAMT.053 XML data as a string
parser = Camt053Parser(xml_data)
Alternatively, you can initialize the parser with a file path:
parser = Camt053Parser.from_file('path/to/your/file.xml')
Extracting Group Header Information¶
To extract group header information such as message ID and creation date/time:
group_header = parser.get_group_header()
print(group_header)
Extracting Transactions¶
To retrieve all transaction entries from the file:
transactions = parser.get_transactions()
for transaction in transactions:
print(transaction)
Extracting Statement Information¶
To get basic statement information like IBAN and opening/closing balance:
statement_info = parser.get_statement_info()
print(statement_info)
