What is bormeparser?

bormeparser is a Python 3 library for parsing BORME (Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil) files, which contain official business registry information from Spain. The library allows you to extract structured data from PDF and XML files published by the Spanish Mercantile Register.

​
What is BORME?

The Boletín Oficial del Registro Mercantil (Official Mercantile Register Bulletin) is a document published daily by the Registro Mercantil Central (RMC) in Spain. It contains:
  • Newly created companies
  • Dissolved companies
  • Changes in company structure and governance
  • Appointments and removals of corporate officers
  • Capital increases and reductions
  • Other required business registry information
Since 2009, following Spanish Law BOE-A-2008-19826, BORME is published in electronic format with the same legal validity as its paper version. BORMEs are published daily at boe.es/diario_borme.
While BORME data is published electronically, the most detailed information is only available in PDF format rather than more easily parsable formats like XML or JSON. This is where bormeparser comes in.

​
