Installation

Binary installers for the latest released version are at the Python Package Index. Please note that you need to run Python 3.9 or higher to install the edi-835-parser.

pip install edi-835-parser

Usage

To parse an EDI 835 file simply execute the parse function.

from edi_835_parser import parse

path = '~/Desktop/my_edi_file.txt'
transaction_set = parse(path)

The parse function also works on a directory path.

from edi_835_parser import parse

path = '~/Desktop/my_directory_of_edi_files'
transaction_sets = parse(path)

In both cases, parse returns an instance of the TransactionSets class. This is the class you manipulate depending on your needs. For example, say you want to work with the transaction sets data as a pd.DataFrame.

from edi_835_parser import parse

path = '~/Desktop/my_directory_of_edi_files'
transaction_sets = parse(path)

data = transaction_sets.to_dataframe()

And then save that pd.DataFrame as a .csv file.

data.to_csv('~/Desktop/my_edi_file.csv')

The complete set of TransactionSets functionality can be found by inspecting the TransactionSets class found at edi_parser/transaction_set/transaction_sets.py

Tests

Example EDI 835 files can be found in tests/test_edi_835/files. To run the tests use pytest.

python -m pytest
