SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper — Full-Text Search & Company Filings

What does SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper do?

Unofficial and independent: This Actor is not affiliated with, sponsored by, or endorsed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper searches the official SEC EDGAR database and exports structured filing metadata. Find filings by full-text phrase, form type, date range, ticker, or CIK without managing authentication, pagination, or SEC archive URLs yourself.

Run it manually, schedule recurring searches on Apify, call it through the API, or connect its dataset to tools such as Make, Zapier, Google Drive, and webhooks. The Actor uses public SEC endpoints, observes SEC fair-access limits, and does not require a proxy or API key.

How much does it cost to search SEC EDGAR filings?

The Actor uses lightweight official API requests and no paid proxies. Pricing is pay-per-event: one start event plus one result event for each saved filing. Check the Pricing tab before starting a run; limiting maxItems gives you direct control over the maximum result charges.

Tips and advanced options

• Use quoted phrases for precise full-text searches.
• Combine a focused phrase with specific forms and dates to reduce irrelevant matches.
• Use ticker symbols for convenience or CIKs for unambiguous company selection.
• For recurring monitoring, schedule the Actor and use a narrow date range.
• Supply a business contact in userAgentContact when your organization requires its own SEC request identity.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Does this Actor need SEC credentials?

No. It reads public SEC EDGAR endpoints that do not require authentication.

Why can a full-text result point to an exhibit?

SEC full-text search matches filing contents and attachments. filingUrl therefore identifies the matching document, while filingIndexUrl identifies its filing archive directory.

Are all historical company filings returned?

Company mode uses the SEC submissions endpoint's recent-filings collection. Use full-text mode for broader document discovery.

Public filing data can contain errors or later amendments and is not investment, legal, or accounting advice. Respect applicable laws and SEC policies when using or redistributing results. For bugs, feature requests, or custom solutions, use the Actor's Issues tab.
