Filings Downloader for SEC EDGAR: US Stock Market

🏛️ What is SEC EDGAR Filings?

Paste a watchlist and receive SEC EDGAR filings as a spreadsheet-ready table. Annual 10-K, S-1 prospectuses or any other category appear newest first, each with accession number, size and the SEC's own web address. Data comes from the official public API, so there is no key, no proxy and no HTML parsing.

• Investment research: pull every 10-K and 10-Q of your watchlist and open the documents in one click
• Insider trading alerts: schedule a daily run for Form 4 filings and get notified when insiders trade
• Event monitoring: track 8-K filings by item number: earnings (2.02), leadership changes (5.02), material agreements (1.01)
• Financial data pipelines and AI: feed filing links into your parser, spreadsheet, RAG pipeline or AI agent
• Compliance and due diligence: build a dated list of a company's filings with industry code and state of incorporation

✨ Why use this Actor?

• ✅ Ticker or CIK: type AAPL or 320193; the SEC's own list does the matching
• ✅ Any form type: pick 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4, S-1, DEF 14A or any other, or leave it empty for everything
• ✅ Links you can open: each row carries the main document address and the index page on sec.gov
• ✅ 8-K items included: see at a glance whether an 8-K is about earnings, a leadership change or a new agreement
• ✅ Fair access built in: requests run one after another with a pause, well under the SEC's 10 per second, with a contact in the User-Agent as the SEC asks
• ✅ Cheap: 0.8 USD per 1,000 filings; companies that fail cost nothing

🚀 How to use SEC EDGAR Filings

SEC EDGAR Filings works in a few clicks, no coding needed:

1. Create a free Apify account (the free plan includes 5 USD of monthly credit).
2. Open SEC EDGAR Filings and click Try for free.
3. Enter tickers or CIK numbers, pick the form types you need (for example 10-K and 10-Q) and, if you like, a start date.
4. Click Start and wait for the run to finish (most runs take seconds).
5. Download your data as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or send it straight to Google Sheets, Make, Zapier or your AI agent.

⬇️ Input

Add tickers or CIK numbers, up to 200 per run. Form types, a start date and a cap per company are optional.

Ticker or CIK?

Both work and can be mixed. Symbols (AAPL, BRK-B) are looked up in the SEC's list; plain numeric IDs (320193 or 0000320193) are used directly. Use them for funds or private issuers, which trade under no code.

Form types

Write them as EDGAR does: 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4 (insider trades), S-1, DEF 14A, 13F-HR. Leave forms empty to get every form. Amendments have their own type, for example 10-K/A.

Contact email

The SEC asks every client to name a contact in its User-Agent. Put your own address in contactEmail; if left empty, the publisher's is used.

Field	Type	What it does	Default
Companies (companies)	array	Tickers (AAPL) or CIK numbers (320193).	["AAPL"]
Form types (forms)	array	Keep only these forms, e.g.
Filed since (since)	string	Keep filings on or after this date, e.g.
Maximum filings per company (maxFilingsPerCompany)	integer	Cap per company (newest first).	50
Contact email (contactEmail)	string	The SEC asks every client to name a contact in its User-Agent (sec.gov/os/accessing-edgar-data).
Maximum retries (maxRetries)	integer	Retries per request with exponential backoff on network errors, 429 and 5xx.	3

Input example

{
    "companies": [
        "AAPL",
        "MSFT"
    ],
    "forms": [
        "10-K",
        "10-Q"
    ],
    "maxFilingsPerCompany": 8
}

⬆️ Output

Every filing becomes one row, newest first, with the company facts repeated so the table stands alone. The run summary in the key-value store (OUTPUT) lists each input with the count found or the reason it failed.

Output example

One row of the dataset (Apple's 10-Q, from a real run):

{
    "company": "Apple Inc.",
    "cik": "0000320193",
    "tickers": [
        "AAPL"
    ],
    "input": "AAPL",
    "form": "10-Q",

    "sic": "3571",
    "industry": "Electronic Computers",
    "stateOfIncorporation": "CA"
}

Run summary and failed inputs

An unknown company does not stop the run and is never charged: it is listed in the run summary (OUTPUT in the key-value store) with the reason, and the run fails only when nothing answered. From a real run with 320193, TSLA and NOTATICKR:

{
    "ok": true,
    "rows": 10,
    "problems": [],
    "companies": [
        {
            "company": "320193",
            "ok": true,
            "rows": 5,
            "error": null
        },
        {
            "company": "TSLA",
            "ok": true,
            "rows": 5,
            "error": null
        },
        {
            "company": "NOTATICKR",
            "ok": false,
            "rows": 0,
            "error": "unknown ticker (not in the SEC ticker list; try the CIK)"
        }
    ]
}

View the results as a table or JSON in the Output tab and download them as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML or RSS, all fields or only those you pick.

❓ FAQ

Which filings are included?

The recent filings EDGAR lists for each company: at least a year, or up to 1,000 when it files more. That covers several years of 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K filings for most companies. Use forms, since and maxFilingsPerCompany (default 50, up to 1,000) to narrow it down.

Does it extract the numbers from the financial statements?

No. Each row is one filing with its dates, items and links. Open documentUrl for the report itself, or feed them into your own parser or an AI model.

How do I get insider trades?

Set forms to 4 (and 3 or 5 if you want initial and annual statements). Each row links to the Form 4 document with the trade details.

What do the 8-K items mean?

They are the SEC item numbers of the event reported, for example 2.02 results of operations, 5.02 departure or appointment of officers, 1.01 entry into a material agreement and 9.01 financial statements and exhibits.

Do I need an SEC or EDGAR API key?

No. EDGAR's API is free and public. The SEC only asks for a contact in the User-Agent, which the contactEmail field provides.

Is it legal to use SEC EDGAR Filings?

Yes. EDGAR filings are public records published by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, and the EDGAR API is offered for exactly this kind of access. The Actor follows the SEC's fair-access policy: it names a contact in its User-Agent and stays well under 10 requests per second. Filings are informational, not investment advice.
