SEC EDGAR Scraper — Company Filings by Ticker (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K)

Launch pricing: this actor currently adds no fee — run it on your Apify free-plan credits. Try it, bookmark it, wire it into your stack.

A SEC EDGAR scraper and SEC filings scraper on the SEC's official data API: scrape SEC filings for any US public company by ticker or CIK — form type, filing date, report date, accession number and primary document — as clean JSON. This EDGAR API scraper needs no API key and is the fastest way to get 10-K 10-Q 8-K filings data into a sheet, a pipeline or an alert.

Ticker in, filing history out: the actor resolves the ticker to a CIK and returns the company's recent filings, filterable by form type.

Who uses this

• Financial analysts — pull a company's filing cadence and jump straight to primary documents.
• Fintech & data engineers — a keyless, schedulable EDGAR feed for apps and internal tools.
• Compliance & legal teams — monitor specific form types (8-K, S-1, 13D) for watched companies.
• Journalists & researchers — instant filing history for any ticker, no Bloomberg needed.

Tracking executive changes specifically? The Executive Changes Tracker parses 8-K Item 5.02 filings into person-level appointment/departure records.

How it works

The actor resolves your ticker via the SEC's company_tickers.json (or uses your explicit CIK), fetches the company's recent-filings index from data.sec.gov/submissions, applies your formTypes filter, and outputs the newest filings first. Every request sends a descriptive User-Agent per SEC fair-access rules. A run that matches zero filings fails loudly instead of succeeding empty.

Output

One record per filing:

{
  "cik": "0000320193",
  "company": "Apple Inc.",
  "form": "4",
  "filingDate": "2026-06-17",
  "reportDate": "2026-06-15",
  "accessionNumber": "0001140361-26-025622",
  "primaryDocument": "xslF345X06/form4.xml",
  "primaryDocDescription": "FORM 4",
  "scrapedAt": "2026-07-15T09:35:29.868Z"
}

• Build the document URL as https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/<cik-no-zeros>/<accessionNumber-no-dashes>/<primaryDocument>.
• reportDate is the period the filing covers; filingDate is when it hit EDGAR.

Input

Field	Default	Description
ticker	AAPL	Stock ticker to resolve to a CIK
cik	—	Explicit CIK (overrides ticker; leading zeros optional)
formTypes	all forms	Keep only these forms (e.g. ["10-K","10-Q","8-K"]); empty = all
maxItems	100	Stop after this many filings (newest first)

The default run needs no configuration — an empty input returns Apple's 100 most recent filings of any form.

Reliability & limits

• Covers the company's recent filings index (the SEC's submissions API returns roughly the last 1000 filings; older history lives in EDGAR archives).
• Official SEC data — US government public-domain source; requests stay well under SEC fair-access rate limits.
• A formTypes filter can legitimately reduce results below maxItems; an impossible filter fails loudly rather than returning an empty dataset.

Paste this output into…

• Google Sheets — =IMPORTDATA("https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/exuberant_volley~sec-edgar-filings-scraper/runs/last/dataset/items?format=csv&clean=1&token=YOUR_TOKEN") for a filing-history sheet per ticker.
• Make / n8n — schedule daily with formTypes: ["8-K"], fetch .../runs/last/dataset/items, and alert on any accessionNumber you haven't seen before.
• Filing-watch alerts (analysts) — one scheduled run per watched ticker; a new 10-Q row in the diff = earnings docs are out, hours before most aggregators surface them.

Compliance

• Every request sends a descriptive User-Agent as required by SEC fair-access rules, and stays well under the SEC's rate ceiling.
• No personal data is collected — only filing metadata (form type, dates, document names). SEC EDGAR data is US government public-domain.
• Records live only in your run's dataset; the actor keeps nothing beyond it.
