sic-data-lookup

A small JavaScript/TypeScript utility for mapping Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes to various business data points like sectors, office, and industry titles. This library provides fast, pre-processed data lookups for both forward (SIC to Sector/Industry) and reverse (Sector to SIC Prefixes) searches.

Features

* SIC to Sector Lookup: Easily determine the broad business sector (e.g., Technology, Healthcare) for any given SIC code.

* SIC to Office & Industry Title Lookup: Get detailed office and industry titles associated with specific 4-digit SIC codes.

* Sector to SIC Prefixes Lookup: Find all SIC code prefixes that belong to a particular business sector (reverse lookup).

* Type-Safe: Built with TypeScript for robust development and predictable data structures.

* Optimized Performance: Raw data is pre-processed into efficient JSON format during the build step, ensuring minimal runtime overhead.

Installation

Install the package via npm or yarn:

npm install sic-data-lookup

or

yarn add sic-data-lookup

Usage

Importing

You can import specific functions or types:

import { getSectorFromSic, getSicFromSector, getOfficeAndIndustryFromSic, SicEntry, SectorMap } from 'sic-data-lookup';

$3

1. Get Sector from SIC Code

``
import { getSectorFromSic } from 'sic-data-lookup';

const sicCode1 = 3571; // Example: Technology
console.log(SIC Code: ${sicCode1} => Sector: ${getSectorFromSic(sicCode1)});
// Expected Output: SIC Code: 3571 => Sector: Technology

const sicCode2 = '2834'; // Example: Healthcare (as a string)
console.log(SIC Code: '${sicCode2}' => Sector: ${getSectorFromSic(sicCode2)});
// Expected Output: SIC Code: '2834' => Sector: Healthcare

const unknownSic = 9999;
console.log(SIC Code: ${unknownSic} => Sector: ${getSectorFromSic(unknownSic)});
// Expected Output: SIC Code: 9999 => Sector: null

`

2. Get SIC Code Prefixes from Sector Name

`
import { getSicFromSector } from 'sic-data-lookup';

const techSector = 'Technology';
const techSics = getSicFromSector(techSector);
console.log(Sector: '${techSector}' => SIC Prefixes: [${techSics.join(', ')}]);
// Expected Output: Sector: 'Technology' => SIC Prefixes: [357, 367, 381, 382, 48, 737]

const financialSector = 'Financials';
const financialSics = getSicFromSector(financialSector);
console.log(Sector: '${financialSector}' => SIC Prefixes: [${financialSics.join(', ')}]);
// Expected Output: Sector: 'Financials' => SIC Prefixes: [60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 67]

const nonExistentSector = 'ImaginarySector';
const imaginarySics = getSicFromSector(nonExistentSector);
console.log(Sector: '${nonExistentSector}' => SIC Prefixes: [${imaginarySics.join(', ')}]);
// Expected Output: Sector: 'ImaginarySector' => SIC Prefixes: []
`

3. Get Office and Industry Title from SIC Code

`
import { getOfficeAndIndustryFromSic, SicEntry } from 'sic-data-lookup';

const sicCode = 100;
const result: SicEntry[] = getOfficeAndIndustryFromSic(sicCode);
console.log(SIC Code: ${sicCode});
if (result.length > 0) {
result.forEach(entry =>
console.log( Office: "${entry.office}", Industry: "${entry.industry}")
);
} else {
console.log(" No match found.");
}
// Expected Output:
// SIC Code: 100
// Office: "Industrial Applications and Services", Industry: "AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION-CROPS"

const unknownCode = 99999;
const unknownResult: SicEntry[] = getOfficeAndIndustryFromSic(unknownCode);
console.log(\nSIC Code: ${unknownCode});
if (unknownResult.length === 0) {
console.log(" No match found.");
}
// Expected Output:
// SIC Code: 99999
// No match found.

Data Sources

The data used in this library is derived from publicly available sources:

Sector Mapping (sectorMap): Based on the Fintel industry overview page: https://fintel.io/industry

SIC Code to Office and Industry Table (parsedSICCodeTableData): Extracted from the SEC Government Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code List: https://www.sec.gov/search-filings/standard-industrial-classification-sic-code-list

This raw CSV data is pre-processed into an optimized JSON format during the package's build step.
