SEC EDGAR Filings & XBRL Financial Data API

Get SEC EDGAR filings, XBRL financial facts and company profiles for any US-listed company by ticker or CIK. The Actor reads the free official SEC data APIs (data.sec.gov): no API key, no proxies, no HTML scraping. Results come back as clean rows you can export to JSON, CSV or Excel, or pull through the Apify API.

The SEC states that information on sec.gov "is considered public information and may be copied or further distributed by users of the web site without the SEC's permission."

Who is this for?

• Analysts and researchers who need a company's 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K list with direct document links.
• Developers and data teams building a fundamentals table (revenue, net income, assets, EPS) straight from XBRL, without parsing filings by hand.
• Compliance and due-diligence teams who need company profiles (SIC code, state of incorporation, exchanges, former names).
• Anyone tracking filings for a watchlist: schedule the Actor and compare runs.

What you get

Mode	Returns
filings	Every filing for each company (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Form 4, S-1, DEF 14A and more) with filing date, report date, items, XBRL flags and a direct document link. Filter by form type and date. Newest first.
companyFacts	XBRL facts, one row per reported data point (revenue, net income, assets, EPS ...) with period, fiscal year, form and accession number.
company	Company profile: name, tickers, exchanges, SIC code, state of incorporation, addresses, former names.

Form 4 (insider transaction reports) are returned as filings with links to the documents. The Actor does not parse the transactions inside them.

Sample output (filings mode)

type	ticker	companyName	form	filingDate	reportDate	documentUrl
filing	AAPL	Apple Inc.	10-K	2026-11-03	2026-09-26	https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019326000026/aapl-20260926.htm

{ "type": "filing", "cik": "0000320193", "ticker": "AAPL", "companyName": "Apple Inc.", "accessionNumber": "0000320193-26-000026",
  "form": "10-K", "filingDate": "2026-11-03", "reportDate": "2026-09-26", "isInlineXBRL": true,

companyFacts rows have these fields: type, cik, ticker, companyName, taxonomy, concept, label, unit, value, periodStart, periodEnd, fiscalYear, fiscalPeriod, form, filed, accessionNumber, frame. Values are exactly as the SEC publishes them.

Pricing

Pay per result: $0.00034 per result row, about $0.34 per 1,000 rows, plus standard Apify platform usage and a tiny per-run start fee.

What you run	Rows	Approx. result cost
Latest 20 filings (the prefilled run)	20	about $0.007
10-K and 10-Q lists for 50 companies, 10 rows each	500	about $0.17
1,000 filings or data points	1,000	about $0.34

One row = one filing, one financial data point or one company profile. A failed or empty run returns no result rows and is not charged per result. Set the maximum charge per run to cap spend.

Why run it on Apify

Schedule runs, call it from the Apify API, send results to Google Sheets, webhooks, Zapier, Make or your own code, and keep each run's dataset and run report.

How Max results is shared between companies

With several companies, Max results is spread fairly. Each company first gets ceil(Max results / number of companies) rows, newest first; for example 3 companies and Max results 15 give up to 5 rows each. A share a company does not use goes to companies that have more rows, so the total never exceeds Max results. Set Max results per company to cap every company (for example 3 filings each).

Fair access and limits

• Follows the SEC fair-access policy: throttles to 5 requests per second per run (the SEC limit of 10 per second applies across all your traffic, so stagger overlapping runs) and sends a User-Agent with a contact (datawharf-tools datawharf@gmail.com by default). Set your own contact in the userAgent input for large or repeated runs.
• Retries rate-limit (HTTP 429 or the SEC 403 'Rate Threshold' page), 5xx and timeout responses with exponential backoff, then stops with a clear message. Rows already fetched are kept (the message starts with "PARTIAL RESULT").
• Unknown tickers and CIKs are skipped and listed in the RUN_REPORT record; if none are found the run fails with a message. A company listed twice (ticker and CIK) is returned once.
• Filings beyond the newest 1,000 are read from the SEC history files (one extra request per 1,000 filings).
• companyFacts downloads a company's whole facts file (tens of MB for the largest filers) before filtering, so for big companies use a few concepts and expect a longer run.
• Form filters match exactly: 10-K does not include amendments; add 10-K/A (and 20-F, 40-F for foreign filers) explicitly.
• In companyFacts, fiscalYear and fiscalPeriod are the SEC's labels for the filing that reported the point; use periodStart and periodEnd for the period the value covers. The same value can repeat because it is reported in several filings.
• Concept names are case-sensitive and differ by company (Apple reports RevenueFromContractWithCustomerExcludingAssessedTax, not Revenues). Concepts a company does not report are listed in RUN_REPORT under unmatchedConcepts.
• Companies are matched by current ticker or CIK only, not by name. Renamed tickers need the CIK (for example FB is CIK 1326801). Companies without a ticker: use the CIK.
• companyFacts covers US-GAAP and IFRS XBRL filers only. Full-text search is not included.

FAQ

Do I need an SEC API key? No. The SEC data APIs are free and keyless.

Is this investment advice or audited data? No. Data is passed through as published; verify before making decisions.

Why is there a User-Agent input? The SEC asks automated tools to declare who they are.
