SEC EDGAR Financial Scraper

A high-performance scraper to extract financial facts and filing history directly from SEC EDGAR.

ℹ️ This scrapes public SEC EDGAR data — no authentication required, but a valid User-Agent is strictly mandated by the SEC. It uses lightweight HTTP requests instead of heavy browser automation for maximum speed.

Features

• Dynamic Search Engines: Automatically identifies and routes your search term to CIK, exact Ticker symbol, or partial Company Name lookups dynamically.
• Filing Filters: Filter datasets by explicit target dates (e.g., filings generated since 2023) or explicit form types (e.g., exclusively 10-K or 4).
• Extensive XBRL Financials: Extracts precise XBRL financial concepts (Revenue, Assets, Cash, Net Income) alongside structured Financial Statements (Balance Sheet, Income Statement, Cash Flow).
• Text & XML Extraction: Dumps specific 10-K chapters (Business, Risk Factors, MD&A) alongside raw XML parsing (Form 4 Insider Trading transactions).
• Robust Error Handling: Wraps the execution context defensively so a bad query explicitly returns a logged NotFoundError or RateLimitError payload without crashing the batch.
• Proxy Support: Integrates Apify Proxies seamlessly to bypass region blocks.

Input Parameters

Parameter	Type	Description
searchTerms	Array	A list of queries to look up via Ticker. (max 5 per run). Examples: ["AAPL", "MSFT"].
formType	String	(Optional) Filter recent filings returned by a specific SEC Form Type (e.g., 10-K, 10-Q, 4, 8-K). Leave blank for all.
fromDate	String	(Optional) Filter constraint to strictly fetch filings submitted after this string date limit (YYYY-MM-DD).
toDate	String	(Optional) Filter constraint to strictly fetch filings submitted before this string date limit (YYYY-MM-DD).
userAgent	String	Required by the SEC: Your registered company name and contact email (e.g., MyCompany/1.0 contact@mycompany.com).
proxy	Object	Proxy configuration. Recommended for preventing rate-limit blocks when processing large batches.

Output

Data is stored in the default dataset in JSON format. Each requested query generates one highly-detailed output object highlighting submissions, raw XBRL, Form 4 trading events, and extracted 10-K text.
