This page provides ready-to-execute Python examples to access directors and board members data of publicly listed companies. The examples demonstrate how to find all current and historical directors and board members of a company, access director names, position, age, class, date of first election, independence status, committee membership, qualifications, and more.

## Quick Start

This example demonstrates how to use the Directors & Board Members API with the `sec-api` Python package. The `DirectorsBoardMembersApi` class offers a straightforward interface for retrieving information about directors and board members through the `.get_data(search_parameters)` method.

```python
pip install sec-api
```

```python
import pandas as pd
from sec_api import DirectorsBoardMembersApi

directorsBoardMembersApi = DirectorsBoardMembersApi(
    api_key="YOUR_API_KEY",
)

search_params = {
    "query": "ticker:AMZN",
    "from": 0,
    "size": 50,
    "sort": [{"filedAt": {"order": "desc"}}],
}

response = directorsBoardMembersApi.get_data(search_params)

amzn_data = pd.DataFrame(response["data"])

amzn_data = amzn_data.explode("directors")

columns = [
  'name',
  'position',
  'age',
  'directorClass',
  'dateFirstElected',
  'isIndependent',
  'committeeMemberships',
  'qualificationsAndExperience',
]

for column in columns:
    amzn_data[column] = amzn_data["directors"].apply(lambda x: x.get(column))

amzn_data[['filedAt', *columns]].head(10)
```

Out:
