SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper: 8-K Earnings, Form 4

What does SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper do?

Give SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper tickers, the SEC's company IDs (CIKs), company names, EDGAR links or a keyword phrase. You get one row per matching SEC filing, and with Extract Earnings Releases on an 8-K earnings release also carries its excerpt, guidance sentences and a sentiment score on the same row. Each row names the company, the form, the dates it carries and its links on sec.gov. Opt in and a filing row can also carry:

• an earnings-release 8-K's excerpt, guidance and a sentiment score;
• a Form 4's insider lines;
• a 10-K or 10-Q's reported figures.

Filing rows cost $1.00 per 1,000; an entry with nothing to return costs you nothing.

Start with NVIDIA's latest 8-Ks, extraction on:

{ "searchQueries": ["NVDA"], "formTypes": ["8-K"], "extractEarnings": true, "maxItems": 100 }

Features

• 8-K earnings excerpted: opt in and each qualifying earnings release carries its SEC items, an excerpt, guidance and a sentiment score. Each extraction is one extra charge.
• Full-text keyword search: every EDGAR filing's text from 2001 on, one row per match in the index's first 10,000 hits.
• Financials matched to the filing: opt in and each 10-K/10-Q row carries the figures that filing reported, matched by accession number.
• Insider trades split into lines: opt in and a Form 3, 4 or 5 row carries the reporting insider and every transaction line. A suppressed name stays blank.
• New filings since your last run (opt in): with Only New Since Last Run on, a scheduled run returns only filings this same search has not already returned.
• SEC fair access kept: the run tells the SEC who is calling and stays under 10 requests a second.

Why this one

• We tested a list of 498 companies and every one produced filing rows. A capped run on the platform returned 499 filing rows from 2 of its 100 companies before the cap stopped it. The other 98 entries each came back as a named, unbilled row.
• Insider lines and 8-K earnings excerpts can land on the same run's filing rows, so one run covers a watchlist.
• Opt in to financials and a 10-Q row carries the quarter the filing reported, matched by accession number, so a quarter's figures stay apart from the year's.
• Every filing row carries the sec.gov links, the filing one click away.

What data does SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper return?

A real row: 3M's earnings release with Extract Earnings Releases on, from the capped run that returned 499 filing rows (fields cut):

{
  "status": "ok",
  "company_name": "3M CO",
  "accession_number": "0000066740-26-000242",
  "ticker": "MMM",
  "form_type": "8-K",
  "items": ["2.02", "9.01"],
  "item_descriptions": ["Results of Operations and Financial Condition", "Financial Statements and Exhibits"],
  "filed_date": "2026-07-21",
  "report_year": 2026,
  "fiscal_quarter": 3,
  "document_url": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/66740/000006674026000242/mmm-20260721.htm",
  "sentiment": {"positive": 15, "negative": 9, "net": 0.25, "label": "positive"},
  "reported_figures": [{"metric": "operating_income", "value": "$ 1.78"}, {"metric": "eps", "value": "$1.78"}],
  "row_type": "ROW"
}

Every field:

Values come from what was filed, with marked exceptions. report_year and fiscal_quarter are computed from the dates, the sec.gov links are built from the accession number, item_descriptions name the S-K items and sentiment counts the release's words. status, row_type, the miss fields and search_metadata are the run's own bookkeeping, not filing data. A field the SEC leaves out still stays null. On the insider forms, 3, 4, 5 and 144, and on a person's own filing, document_text, sections and matched_passages stay null.

Field	What it is
status / row_type	ok and ROW on a filing row; on a status row, the miss verdict and its kind (the kinds are under Output).
company_name / cik	The company's registered name and its CIK; on a miss row company_name is the entry you sent.
accession_number	The filing's unique SEC ID.
ticker / tickers	Every symbol it trades under; ticker is the first.
form_type	The SEC form code, such as 10-K, 8-K or 4.
items / item_descriptions	The item numbers an 8-K reports under and their official SEC names; null when the feed lists none.
filed_date / report_date	When the filing was submitted and the period it covers.
acceptance_date_time	When the SEC accepted it; null outside a company's recent feed.
report_year / fiscal_quarter	The report's year and fiscal quarter.
sic / sic_description	The filer's industry code and its label.
state_of_incorporation / fiscal_year_end	Where it is incorporated and when its fiscal year ends.
exchanges / entity_type / ein / addresses	Its exchanges, entity category, EIN and addresses as filed.
primary_document / primary_doc_description	The filing's main file name and the SEC's label for it.
document_url / filing_url / index_url / sec_viewer_url	Its links on sec.gov: the primary document, the filing's index page, its machine index and the viewer link (the document itself unless the filing is inline XBRL).
size_bytes / is_xbrl / is_inline_xbrl	The filing's size and XBRL flags; all three stay null outside a company's recent feed.
file_number / film_number / act_code	SEC file, film and act identifiers; null on insider filings.
item_codes / item_names / excerpt	On a billed earnings release: its item numbers and names, and a short passage from its document (opening [From Exhibit 99.1, …] when it was read from the press-release exhibit).
guidance_sentences / sentiment / reported_figures	On the same release: up to eight guidance lines, a word-count score and the headline figures.
insider_name / insider_relationship / transactions	On Form 3, 4, 5 rows with Insider Transactions on: the reporting insider, their relationship, and each transaction or holding line as filed.
document_text / sections / matched_passages	On opt-in: the document as plain text, split on its Item headings, or the sentences your keyword hit.
financials	On 10-K/10-Q rows with Include Financials on: the figures that filing reported; concepts names the accounting tag.
search_metadata	The company or search this row answers, as {query, event}.
reason	On a status row, the free-text why; on a filing row, why a text field is null.
rowsFetched, rowsReturned, rowsRemaining	On the two run-level status rows: found, delivered and left-over counts.

How much does it cost?

$1.00 per 1,000 filing rows. Three things can be billed, nothing else:

Charge	Price
filing-returned: one filing row written to your dataset	$0.001
earnings-extracted: one earnings release extracted (Item 2.02 with a stated figure)	$0.001
apify-actor-start: billed by Apify when a run starts	$0.00005

The extraction charge applies to an 8-K reporting results of operations (Item 2.02) with a stated revenue, income or per-share figure. Other 8-Ks cost their filing row. Insider lines, financials, document text, Item sections and matched passages come with the row. On a paid Apify plan you pay $0.00084 on Bronze, $0.00068 on Silver and $0.00054 on Gold and above.

Filing rows	Cost	With the start charge
100	$0.10	$0.10005
1,000	$1.00	$1.00005
10,000	$10.00	$10.00005

A miss costs you nothing: a company that resolves to nothing comes back unbilled.

Input

Input	Default	What it does
searchQueries	none (the form comes with NVDA)	Tickers, CIKs or company names; a bare number is a CIK.
startUrls	none	EDGAR links that name a company: a submissions JSON URL, an Archives path or a browse link.
query	none	A full-text phrase; matching filings become rows, to the index's 10,000th hit. Double quotes match exactly.
formTypes	all forms (the form lists 8-K)	These EDGAR form codes; 8-K returns its 8-K/A amendments too.
filedFrom	none	Filings submitted on or after this date, in YYYY-MM-DD.
filedTo	none	Filings submitted on or before this date, in YYYY-MM-DD.
extractEarnings	off (the form ticks it)	Fill the extraction fields on each qualifying 8-K, at $0.001 apiece on top of its row.
maxItems	100	The most filing rows a run returns; empty reads each company's recent feed only, and a number also reads the older filing files until the cap is met.
maxCompaniesPerSearchQuery	5	The most companies one name may resolve to, at most 50.
maxFilingsPerCompany	none	Caps one company's rows so a large filer cannot take the whole run; the run moves on to the next company.
onlyNew	off	Skip filings an earlier run of your search already returned.
includeInsiderTransactions	off	Opt in to read each Form 3, 4 and 5 ownership file and fill the insider fields, free.
includeFinancials	off	Add each 10-K/10-Q filing's own reported figures to financials, free.
includeDocumentText	off	Add each filing's primary document as plain text.
maxDocumentChars	50000	The document-text cap, at most 100000.
includeSections	off	Split each filing's document on its Item headings into sections.
includeMatchedPassages	off	On a keyword run, add the document sentences carrying your terms to matched_passages.
proxyConfiguration	none	An optional Apify proxy, used as one exit for the whole run.

Worked examples

Track every new insider trade at a watchlist on a daily schedule:

{ "searchQueries": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "AMZN", "GOOGL"], "formTypes": ["4"], "includeInsiderTransactions": true, "onlyNew": true, "maxItems": 1000 }

Find filers that mentioned a topic in this quarter's 8-K and 10-Q filings:

{ "query": "\"tariff\"", "formTypes": ["8-K", "10-Q"], "filedFrom": "2026-07-01", "filedTo": "2026-09-30", "includeMatchedPassages": true, "maxItems": 300 }

Output

Each filing you get back lands as one data row marked ok. When a company, link or search produced nothing, a status row says why. An EDGAR error doesn't lose the rows already returned, and a refusal stops further reads. Three other row kinds can appear:

Row kind	What it says
ITEM_STATUS	One entry's miss: status carries the verdict (bad_url, bad_input, not_found, fetch_failed, not_reached, duplicate), reason the why.
PROFILE_NOT_FOUND	Nothing you sent matched a company or a filing; you get this one row instead of an empty dataset.
STOPPED_EARLY	Your spending limit ended the run; the counters say how much came back and how much was left.

In the largest measured run, 499 of 597 rows were filing rows. The rest were named status rows: 97 of the run's 100 companies read not_reached with the row cap spent before their turns, and one was a duplicate.

Your run's totals sit in its summary in the key-value store.

Personal data

Every row is a public SEC EDGAR disclosure read live and cited to the SEC as its source, so a filing the SEC corrects or removes is never served from an old copy. Filings can name company insiders as the forms name them, in a business capacity; the rows read an issuer's disclosures, not a profile of a person. A CIK belonging to a person returns a status row, no row carries a person's address, and document text is never read on a person's own filing. If a Form 3, 4 or 5 row names you, an issue on the Actor's Issues tab puts your name on a suppression list: rows emitted after leave insider_name blank while the transaction lines stay as filed. You are the controller of the rows your run returns; using them lawfully is your call.

Release notes

• 2026-10-03: reported_figures, sections and matched_passages added, opt-in; insider detail went opt-in; a second entry naming a claimed company gets a duplicate status row.

Limits

• Only sec.gov is read; a link on another host comes back marked unusable.
• Keyword search covers the first 10,000 matching documents; narrow a broad phrase with dates or forms. Rows outside a company's recent feed leave acceptance time, size and XBRL flags null.
• Document text stops at 100,000 characters per filing; the index link lists the exhibits.
• Financials are the US accounting figures the filing reported; a filer on another standard or an amendment with no statements gets null.
• Guidance lines are picked by word match and the sentiment score counts words, so treat both as rough signals.
• A refusal or a heavy SEC error ends the run early rather than retrying into a wall; the rows already returned stay.
• The filings are public regulatory filings the SEC lets scripts read under published conditions this run keeps. You are responsible for how you use the rows; this is not legal advice.
