SEC EDGAR Company Financials & Filings Scraper

Extract structured financial data and filing history for any US public company directly from the SEC EDGAR XBRL API. This Actor provides instant access to revenue, net income, total assets, liabilities, stockholders' equity, and earnings per share (EPS) for over 10,000 publicly traded companies — no browser automation needed.

Unlike traditional SEC scrapers that parse HTML filing documents, this Actor leverages the SEC's official XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) API to extract machine-readable financial data. This means you get clean, structured numbers — not raw document text that requires post-processing.

FAQ

Is it legal to scrape SEC EDGAR?

Yes. SEC EDGAR is a public database maintained by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. All data is publicly filed and freely available. This Actor uses the official XBRL API with proper rate limiting and User-Agent identification, fully complying with SEC fair access guidelines.

How much does it cost to scrape SEC EDGAR?

The Actor charges $0.002 per result (company record) plus a $0.00005 Actor start fee. A single company lookup costs approximately $0.002, while a batch of 100 companies costs around $0.15. See the pricing table above for detailed estimates.

Can I export SEC EDGAR data to Excel or CSV?

Yes. Apify supports exporting data in JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, HTML, and RSS formats. After the Actor run completes, go to the Dataset tab and choose your preferred export format.

How often is the SEC EDGAR data updated?

You can schedule this Actor to run at any interval — hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly. The underlying SEC EDGAR XBRL API is updated as companies file their reports, so data reflects the most recent 10-K (annual) or 10-Q (quarterly) filing.

Why is revenue or income missing for some companies?

Not all companies use the same XBRL tags for reporting. The Actor checks multiple common tags (Revenues, RevenueFromContractWithCustomerExcludingAssessedTax, SalesRevenueNet, etc.) but some smaller companies may use non-standard tags.
