No! Our server queries official public UK Companies House company & officer records directly with zero external API keys required.

Can I pass a stock ticker like AAPL instead of a 10-digit SEC CIK?

Yes — both lookup_public_company_cik_and_filings and get_company_xbrl_financial_facts accept standard US tickers (AAPL, NVDA, MSFT), company names, or numeric CIKs (0000320193) and cache sec.gov/files/company_tickers.json in memory for instant resolution.

Any SEC form code — e.g. 10-K (annual), 10-Q (quarterly), 8-K (current material events), 4 (insider transactions), DEF 14A (proxy/exec comp), 13F-HR (institutional holdings), S-1 (IPO), or 20-F (foreign private issuers).

Over 200 jurisdictions worldwide via the official Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF) v1 API (api.gleif.org), including direct and ultimate parent relationship reporting.
