SEC EDGAR Filings - US Public Company Disclosure Metadata

US public company disclosure filings with the SEC, as structured metadata - full-text searchable since 2001 by keyword, form type, company or date. Straight from EDGAR, with no API key.

Low cost

From $0.00005 per record, down to $0.00003 at Gold. Pay only for the records you actually receive - the whole corpus stays searchable, you are never billed for the scan behind it.

Why metadata, not documents

EDGAR stores the filing documents; this actor returns the record about each filing, which is what most systems actually want to index, join or alert on:

• The company - every filer name and CIK on the filing
• The form - 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, DEF 14A, S-1, 13F-HR, Form 4 and the rest, plus the root form and file type
• The dates - filing date and period ending
• The classification - SIC industry code, incorporation states, business states and locations
• 8-K items - the event item numbers (e.g. 2.02 results, 5.02 officer changes) where the filing carries them
• The accession number and the public document-index URL

Three modes

• filings (default) - the full-text search across all of EDGAR. Query by keyword, form, company or date window.
• company - one company's profile (name, SIC, tickers) plus its most recent ~1,000 filings, by cik.
• tickers - the listed-company directory: 10,434 companies with CIK, name, ticker and exchange.

Filter it

• Keyword - query="revenue" or a "quoted phrase"; the word is matched across the full text of every filing, so it can appear anywhere in a document.
• Form type - forms="10-K", forms="8-K", forms="10-K,10-Q".
• Company - entityName="Apple" (all Apple-named filers) or ciks="320193" (one exact company).
• Date window - filedFrom="2026-01-01", filedTo="2026-09-30". A date window must be combined with a keyword, form type or company - EDGAR's full-text search cannot search by date alone (a bare window is rejected, not silently empty).

Example inputs

Recent 8-Ks - the newest 8-K filings, latest first.

{ "forms": "8-K", "maxResults": 100 }

Keyword inside a form - full-text search across every 10-K.

{ "query": "revenue", "forms": "10-K", "filedFrom": "2026-01-01", "maxResults": 50 }

One company's filings - exact CIK.

{ "ciks": "320193", "forms": "10-K", "maxResults": 25 }

A company's profile and recent filings - mode=company.

{ "mode": "company", "cik": "320193", "maxResults": 100 }

Look up a ticker - mode=tickers.

{ "mode": "tickers", "ticker": "AAPL" }

Example output

One filing (abridged - every record carries the full field set) - ciks=320193, forms=10-K:

{
 "platform": "sec-edgar",
 "mode": "filings",
 "recordType": "filing",
 "accessionNumber": "0000320193-25-000079",
 "form": "10-K",
 "fileDate": "2025-10-31",
 "periodEnding": "2025-09-27",
 "ciks": "0000320193",
 "companyNames": "Apple Inc.  (AAPL)  (CIK 0000320193)",
 "sics": "3571",
 "incorporationStates": "CA",
 "items": "",
 "filingIndexUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019325000079/"
}

mode=aggregate is not offered - EDGAR's search returns counts, not group rollups; narrow with forms or a date window instead.

Notes on the data, from the source

• 🔴 10,000 is a hard ceiling. EDGAR's full-text search will not return a count above 10,000. When a query matches more, the run summary reports totalCapped: true and truncated: true and the count as "10,000 or more" - it is never presented as exact. Narrow it with a forms value or a filedFrom / filedTo window.
• items is often empty. The 8-K item numbers are present where EDGAR indexes them and blank on many filings, so treat it as "where recorded".
• A company's mode=company list is its most recent ~1,000 filings, which is what the submissions endpoint returns - older filings live in separate archive files this actor does not walk.
• The User-Agent is set - EDGAR requires it and answers 403 without one. No key, no account, no login.
• sourceUpdatedAt carries today's date after confirming EDGAR has accepted filings in the last 30 days.
