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.

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)
