❓ FAQ

Do I need an SEC account or API key? No. The Actor reads public SEC endpoints and needs no login.

How are companies matched? By exact ticker (case-insensitive), then exact company name, then the first company name that contains your text. Use a ticker for the most predictable result.

Which filings are returned? The company's recent filings as listed by the SEC, newest first, after your form filter is applied, limited to maxFilings.

Are form type filters case-sensitive? No. 10-k and 10-K behave the same, but the match must be exact, so 10-K will not match 10-K/A.

What happens if the data source is busy? Requests that receive a rate-limit or server error are retried twice with backoff. Requests are paced to stay within SEC fair-access limits.

What if one company fails? It is pushed as an item with an error field, is not charged, and the run continues with the remaining companies.
