SEC Filings Monitor — New EDGAR Filings for Your Watchlist

Give it a list of tickers and get their SEC filings (8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, Form 4, S-1, 13F and more) as clean JSON. Schedule it and each run returns only filings that are new since the last run.

• Official SEC data, fast. Reads EDGAR's public API directly. No browser, no proxies. A 20-company watchlist takes a few seconds.
• Alerts, not dumps. On a schedule, you get only new filings, and you pay only for those. A day with no filings costs just the run start.
• 8-K items explained. Every 8-K comes with its item codes in plain English: "Results of Operations and Financial Condition", "Departure or Appointment of Directors or Certain Officers", "Material Cybersecurity Incidents".
• Never crashes on a bad input. Unknown tickers come back as free error rows that say what happened.

What you can do with it

• Get an alert when a company you follow files an 8-K: earnings, executive changes, acquisitions, cybersecurity incidents.
• Track 10-K and 10-Q releases across a portfolio.
• Watch for insider-transaction filings (Form 4) on the companies you hold.
• Feed new filings to an AI agent or a Slack/email workflow for summaries.

Input

Field	Required	Description
companies	yes	Tickers (AAPL, BRK.B) or SEC CIK numbers (320193). Up to 100 per run.
formTypes	no	Only these forms, e.g. ["8-K", "10-K", "10-Q"]. Empty = every form.
includeAmendments	no	Also return /A amendments of those forms. Default true.
sinceDays	no	Only filings from the last N days, 1–365. Default 7.
onlyNew	no	Skip filings a previous run with the same companies and forms already returned. Default true.

{
  "companies": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "TSLA"],
  "formTypes": ["8-K", "10-K", "10-Q"],
  "sinceDays": 7
}

Monitoring: schedule this input daily. The first run returns the last 7 days; each later run returns only what was filed since. One-off lookup: set onlyNew to false and sinceDays to the window you want.

Output

One row per filing, newest first per company:

{
  "type": "filing",
  "cik": "0000320193",
  "ticker": "AAPL",
  "companyName": "Apple Inc.",
  "form": "8-K",
  "filingDate": "2026-07-30",
  "reportDate": "2026-07-30",
  "acceptedAt": "2026-07-30T20:30:28.000Z",
  "accessionNumber": "0000320193-26-000018",
  "items": [
    "2.02",
    "9.01"
  ],
  "itemDescriptions": [
    "Results of Operations and Financial Condition",
    "Financial Statements and Exhibits"
  ],
  "description": "8-K",
  "documentUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019326000018/aapl-20260730.htm",
  "filingIndexUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019326000018/0000320193-26-000018-index.htm",
  "isXBRL": true,
  "sizeBytes": 417360
}

items and itemDescriptions are filled for 8-K filings and empty for other forms. documentUrl opens the main document, and filingIndexUrl lists every exhibit.

Errors: free rows

{ "type": "error", "target": "ZZZZZ", "reason": "not_found", "message": "Ticker \"ZZZZZ\" is not in the SEC's ticker list. Try the company's CIK number instead." }

reason is one of invalid_input, not_found, individual_filer, blocked, rate_limited, network_error. A per-company run summary is saved to the OUTPUT record of the run's key-value store.

Pricing

Pay per event: $3 per 1,000 filings ($0.003 each), plus $0.002 per run start. error rows are free, and with onlyNew you never pay twice for the same filing.

Set a maximum charge per run to cap spending. When the run reaches it, it stops cleanly and says so. Filings that didn't fit are returned on the next run.

Limits

• Companies and funds only. CIKs belonging to individual filers (for example, company insiders) are refused with an individual_filer error.
• Up to 100 companies per run and a look-back of up to 365 days. For the most frequent filers, EDGAR's recent-filings list may not reach a full year back; the run summary says so when that happens.
• Filing metadata and links only. The Actor does not download or parse the filing documents.
• About 6–7 requests per second to the SEC, under its 10-per-second fair-access limit.

Use with AI agents

The input and output are flat and predictable. The type field on every row tells filings and errors apart, and every error has a fixed reason code. An agent can call this Actor with just companies.
