Mutual Fund Data Scraper

This Python script fetches and stores mutual fund data from the MFAPI as CSV files. The script retrieves a list of mutual funds and then downloads their individual data, saving each to a CSV file in a specified folder.

Features

• Fetches mutual fund data from the MFAPI.
• Creates a directory (if it doesn't exist) to store the CSV files.
• Saves each mutual fund's data as a separate CSV file, named by its scheme code.

Requirements

• Python 3.x
• Packages: requests, pandas, tqdm

Installation

1. Install Python 3.x if not already installed.
2. Install the required Python packages by running the following command:

   pip install requests pandas tqdm

How to Use

1. Clone or download this script to your local machine.
2. Run the script with Python:

   python scrape_mf.py

3. The script will:
   • Fetch the list of all mutual funds from https://api.mfapi.in/mf.
   • Save each mutual fund's data as a CSV file in a folder named mf_data.

Output

The CSV files will be saved in the mf_data folder in the current directory. Each file is named by the mutual fund's scheme code, e.g., 12345.csv.

Error Handling

• The script checks for errors when fetching data from the API. If an error occurs, it will print the error message and stop the execution.
