Once you have all the raw forms downloaded, this file will parse and format them into a csv file.

python parse-and-format.py -p 4

optional arguments:

Create One Day Sample

We need a daily sample of form13 data for use in exploration and learning in the labs. You can run the Python notebook one-day-sample.ipynb to create that. It will make a file ./data/form13-2023-05-11.csv.
