SEC EDGAR Scraper: 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Form 4 Filings & Full-Text Search

An SEC EDGAR API alternative for downloading SEC filings by ticker, CIK, form type or full-text query, built on official SEC endpoints.

Pull SEC EDGAR filings straight from the official SEC APIs, three ways:

1. By company: tickers or CIKs (AAPL, TSLA, 789019) → their recent filings, filtered by form type and date.
2. Full-text search: any phrase across all EDGAR documents since 2001 ("going concern", "stablecoin", "material weakness").
3. Market-wide feed: leave input empty → the latest 8-K filings from the last 3 days, for every company.

Why use it

• 📄 Every form: 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K (with item numbers), S-1, Form 4, 13F-HR, DEF 14A...
• 🔗 Direct document URL and filing index URL for each filing, plus period, acceptance time, SIC, state.
• 🔎 Full-text search the big Actors don't offer, with form + date filters.
• ✅ Official SEC endpoints with fair-access rate limiting (no blocks, no proxies, no API key).
• 💸 Pay only for filings returned: no results = no charge.

Use cases
