SecLatestFilingsRssFeedParser

This is a simple parser with one goal: to hit the SEC's Latest Filings RSS Feed and parse the XML to return back a workable JSON-like format.

For example, if you went to the SEC's Latest Filings RSS Feed here, you would see XML in the following format:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">
<title>Latest Filings - Thu, 25 Feb 2016 18:54:17 EST</title>
<link rel="alternate" href="/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcurrent"/>
<link rel="self" href="/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcurrent"/>

The XML has a feed, which has many entries. Parsing the feed (SecLatestFilingsRssFeedParser.parse(xml_document)) would return an Elixir map that looks like the following:

{:ok,
 %{entries: [%{cik: "0000050104",
      html_link: "http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/50104/000005010416000055/0000050104-16-000055-index.htm",

An entry's map contains a cik (the identifier the SEC uses for a company or security), an html_link to the filing, a text_link to the text version of teh filing, a category which represents the category of filing (10-K, 10-Q, 4, etc.), an rss_feed_id which represents a unique id of the entry, a summary which is a short summary of the document, a filing title and an updated_date. The feed is a map of those entries and an updated date of the feed.

Be bold, use this tool to bring some sanity to parsing the SEC's XML feed and feel free to contribute!
