Financial Analysis with Python – Analysing Balance Sheet

What you’ll learn

Financial Analysis Using Python

Understanding Balance Sheet

Learnings and Interpreting Different Balance Sheet Ratios

Plot Financial Data

Compare Financial Data Across Companies

All of the above points will be automated using Python

Requirements

However, Python basics are not covered since there is plenty of tutorial out there covering the basics.

We will use a financial API to retrieve company fundamentals. The API offers 250 calls per month for free upon registration. Please note, that after 250 calls per month the API has a cost of around 10$ per month. I tried to find a free source of financial data but unfortunately, it is hard to find a free reliable source to be used with Python.

Description

Welcome to Analysing Balance Sheet with Python.

During the course, we will learn how to automate financial data retrieval from an API and to automate financial Analysis using Pandas and Python. Below are the main areas that we will cover during this course:
