# data_banxico #

A python class for the Economic Information System (SIE) [API of Banco de México](https://www.banxico.org.mx/SieAPIRest/service/v1/?locale=en).

Args:
    token (str): A query token from Banco de México
    id_series (list): A list with the economic series id or with the series id range to query.  ** A list must be given even though only one serie is consulted.
    language (str): Language of the obtained information. 'en' (default) for english or 'es' for spanish

Notes: 
    (1) In order to retrive information from the SIE API, a query token is required. The token can be requested [here](https://www.banxico.org.mx/SieAPIRest/service/v1/token)
    (2) Each economic serie is related to an unique ID. The full series catalogue can be consulted [here](https://www.banxico.org.mx/SieAPIRest/service/v1/doc/catalogoSeries)

## Pandas integration for data manipulation (and further analysis) ##
All the request methods returns a response in json format that can be used with other Python libraries.

The response for the api.get_timeseries_range(init_date='2000-12-31', end_date='2004-04-01') is a nested dictionary, so we need to follow a path to extract the specific values for the series and then transform the data into a pandas object; like a Serie or a DataFrame. For example:

```python
data = api.get_timeseries_range(init_date='2000-12-31', end_date='2004-04-01')

# Extract the Monetary Aggregate M1 data
data['bmx']['series'][0]['datos']
[{'fecha': '01/01/2001', 'dato': '524,836,129.99'},
 ...
 {'fecha': '01/04/2004', 'dato': '799,774,807.43'}]

# Transform the data into a pandas DataDrame
import pandas as pd
df = pd.DataFrame(timeseries_range['bmx']['series'][0]['datos'])
df.head()
        fecha            dato
0  01/01/2001  524,836,129.99
1  01/02/2001  517,186,605.97
2  01/03/2001  509,701,873.04
3  01/04/2001  511,952,430.01
4  01/05/2001  514,845,459.96
```

Another useful pandas function to transform json formats into a dataframe is 'json_normalize':

```python
df = pd.json_normalize(timeseries_range['bmx']['series'], record_path = 'datos', meta = ['idSerie', 'titulo'])
df['titulo'] = df['titulo'].apply(lambda x: x.replace('Monetary Aggregates M2 = M1 + monetary instruments held by residents', 'Monetary Aggregates M2'))
df.head()
        fecha            dato   idSerie                  titulo
0  01/01/2001  524,836,129.99  SF311408  Monetary Aggregates M1
1  01/02/2001  517,186,605.97  SF311408  Monetary Aggregates M1
2  01/03/2001  509,701,873.04  SF311408  Monetary Aggregates M1
3  01/04/2001  511,952,430.01  SF311408  Monetary Aggregates M1
4  01/05/2001  514,845,459.96  SF311408  Monetary Aggregates M1
df.tail()
         fecha              dato   idSerie                  titulo
75  01/12/2003  2,331,594,974.69  SF311418  Monetary Aggregates M2
76  01/01/2004  2,339,289,328.74  SF311418  Monetary Aggregates M2
77  01/02/2004  2,285,732,239.36  SF311418  Monetary Aggregates M2
78  01/03/2004  2,312,217,167.10  SF311418  Monetary Aggregates M2
79  01/04/2004  2,306,755,672.89  SF311418  Monetary Aggregates M2
