EMMA Municipal Bonds Scraper
Scrape municipal bond data from EMMA, the official SEC-designated source, for any U.S. state. Each bond record includes issuer name, coupon rate, maturity date, offering yield, principal amount, and credit rating. No API key or registration required. Export to CSV, JSON, Excel, or XML.
EMMA (Electronic Municipal Market Access) is the official source for municipal securities data, but its website is not designed for bulk extraction. This actor reads the public bond listings directly, filtered by state, issuer name, and coupon rate range, and returns each bond as a structured row. No login or API key needed.
| Who uses it | What they scrape EMMA for |
|---|---|
| Fixed-income analysts | Track bond offerings and yields across states for portfolio analysis. |
| Municipal finance researchers | Study issuance patterns and credit ratings in specific regions. |
| Investment advisors | Identify bonds matching client criteria like coupon rate or issuer. |
| Data journalists | Analyze municipal debt trends and transparency. |
What it does
This Actor collects municipal bond securities from EMMA by state, with optional filters for issuer name and coupon rate, and returns each bond as a flat row.
- 🗺️ State-specific scraping: Enter a two-letter state code (e.g., CA, NY, TX) to get all bonds issued in that state.
- 🔍 Issuer name filter: Narrow results to a specific issuer (partial match supported).
- 📊 Coupon rate range: Set minimum and maximum coupon rates to focus on bonds within your yield preferences.

Troubleshooting
Why am I getting no results?
Ensure the state code is valid and two letters (e.g., 'CA'). If using filters, try broadening them (e.g., remove issuer name or widen coupon range).
The scraper returns fewer bonds than expected.
Check if your filters are too restrictive. Increase the 'Maximum bonds' setting if you want more results.
Can I scrape bonds from all states at once?
No, each run is limited to one state. You can schedule multiple runs for different states.
The output shows missing fields for some bonds.
Some bonds may not have all fields available on EMMA. The scraper returns what is publicly listed.
