How much does it cost to scrape SEC EDGAR?

SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper uses the standard Apify pricing model based on compute units consumed. The cost depends on:

• Number of filings extracted
• Options enabled (XBRL parsing and Form 4 parsing require additional API calls)
• Document content extraction (optional full-text extraction uses more resources)

A typical run extracting 100 filings with all options enabled costs approximately $0.05-0.10 in platform usage.

The Apify Free plan includes $5 of monthly usage, which is enough to extract thousands of SEC filings.
