SEC EDGAR Filings API: 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K (Unofficial)

What does it do?

It returns SEC filings as clean rows you can download as JSON, CSV or Excel or read through the Apify API: 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, 20-F, 6-K, proxy statements and other forms. It reads the SEC's public, keyless sources: the all-company feed reads the EDGAR daily index on www.sec.gov, and company details (ticker, industry, state, filer category) and filing details come from data.sec.gov. You need no account or API key. It filters by form type, company and date; it does not search the text of filings.

Each row is one filing with the company name, CIK, ticker, form type, filing and report dates, accession number and document links, plus the company's SIC industry code, state, exchange and filer category, and the item numbers of 8-K reports.

Two ways to use it:

• All-company feed: every filing filed in a date window, optionally only certain form types. Schedule it daily with Only new filings to get just what is new since the last run.
• Company lookup: list tickers or CIKs to get their filing history (up to 10 years back).

How much does it cost?

• $0.01 per run start plus $2 per 1,000 filings saved ($0.002 each, the filing event). Example: 1,000 filings = $0.01 + $2 = $2.01.
• You pay only for rows that are saved. Rows skipped as duplicates, already seen or excluded are free.
• Set Maximum cost per run when you start a run; the Actor stops when it reaches your cap.

Privacy: company data only

This Actor returns company and filing metadata. It never returns filings that centre on individuals: insider reports (Forms 3, 4 and 5), Form 144 sale notices, Schedule 13D/13G ownership reports and individual municipal adviser forms (MA-I). Filers that look like individuals (no industry code, not an operating company, and filing insider reports as an owner) are withheld and counted in the run summary. Street addresses and phone numbers are never output. The Actor does not open filing documents, so it outputs no signatories or officer names; the documents themselves, at the links, can contain them.

Limits

• The all-company feed covers up to 90 days per run (one SEC daily index per business day). Today's filings appear the next morning.
• Company lookups use each company's recent filing history (at least the last year or 1,000 filings); older filings of very active filers may be missing.
• Requests are paced at 8 per second, below the SEC's limit of 10, so a full day of filings (about 2,000 rows) takes a few minutes. maxRequests (default 500) caps SEC requests per run.
• Tickers come from the SEC's own company records and can be missing for funds and private issuers.

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. The SEC's data APIs "do not require any authentication or API keys to access".

Can I reuse the data? The SEC states: "Information presented 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." Every row credits the SEC as the source. This is not legal advice.

Does it read full text or financial statements? No. It returns filing metadata and links. Open primaryDocumentUrl for the document itself.
