Comment (by teor):

 You can start with the Stem example here:
 https://stem.torproject.org/tutorials/mirror_mirror_on_the_wall.html
 #where-can-i-get-the-current-descriptors

 Then modify it to only print the authorities, by matching on the
 "Authority" flag:
 https://stem.torproject.org/api/descriptor/router_status_entry.html#stem.descriptor.router_status_entry.RouterStatusEntry

 And add the other fields that are in the existing document:
 https://stem.torproject.org/api/descriptor/router_status_entry.html#stem.descriptor.router_status_entry.RouterStatusEntryV3

 You might find that this spec helps, or there might be way too much
