XBRL accounts data made easy

Using the open source parser published by the Department for Business and Trade, we convert all electronically filed accounts to formats like CSV, Parquet and JSON. Freely available on a public S3 bucket to power high performance data ingestion pipelines.

The XBRL Format

Accounts filed electronically are in a format called XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language), which makes them machine-readable.
However the format is extremely complex, and writing a parser is a large undertaking.

For an established open source parser, see Arelle.
For technical details on the format, see The XBRL Book by Ghislain Fourny.
