SEC EDGAR Filings Watch: Form 4 insider trades, 8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, 13F

Get the latest SEC filings for the companies you follow, or only the filings that are new since your last run. Enter tickers (AAPL, TSLA) or CIK numbers and the form types you care about. Every row links to the filing on sec.gov. Form 4 insider trades are parsed into owner, role, transaction code, shares, price and holdings after the trade. 8-K item codes come with their official titles.

Source: SEC EDGAR (public data). Only the official SEC endpoints are used: company_tickers.json, the data.sec.gov submissions JSON, the EDGAR latest-filings feed, the filing XML in the EDGAR archive, and efts.sec.gov when you set full-text keywords. No scraping of third-party sites. Full-text search runs in this Actor (one shared SEC client). It does not call another Actor.

How to use it

• Latest filings (default). Returns the most recent matching filings per company (Max filings per company, default 5). The default input (AAPL and TSLA) always returns data.
• Watch mode. Set Mode to New since last run and schedule the Actor (e.g. every hour on weekdays). Each run returns only filings that this Monitor ID has not returned before. The first run looks back Lookback days (default 30). Later runs look at filings since the previous run.
• All companies. Leave Tickers and CIK numbers empty to read the SEC latest-filings feed for your form types, e.g. every new Form 4 on EDGAR.
• Full-text keyword alert. Add one or more Full-text keywords. The Actor searches efts.sec.gov and returns matching filings (up to Max hits per keyword, default 100). Full-text search covers filings from 2001 onward. The status message always shows that cap, for example 2 new full-text hit(s) (cap 100 per keyword). Exact phrase: wrap the words in double quotes. "material cybersecurity incident" is sent to EFTS as a phrase. Without quotes, EFTS treats the text as its normal full-text query. The Actor does not add quotes for you. In New since last run, startdt is the date of the previous run with the same Monitor ID, and an accession already stored for that Monitor ID is not returned and not charged. The first watch run uses Lookback days. Optional tickers or CIKs limit the search to those filers. Form types limit the search only when you set them.
• Funds and filers without a ticker: use CIK numbers (e.g. 1067983 for Berkshire Hathaway's 13F-HR).

How much does it cost?

Pay per filing: $1 per 1,000 filings ($0.001 per row), no start fee. Form 4 insider trades are parsed at no extra cost. A watch of 10 companies with about 20 new filings a week costs under $0.10 per month. Runs use 128–256 MB and finish in seconds.

Full-text hits are a separate event, fulltext-hit at $0.001 per new accession this Monitor ID has not returned before. filing stays $0.001 and is not used for these rows. Hits past the per-keyword cap are not returned and not charged. If EFTS errors, rows from that run are free.

Good to know

• SEC fair access. The Actor identifies itself with a declared User-Agent and sends at most 5 requests per second (the SEC allows 10), including efts.sec.gov. Rate limits (HTTP 429) and server errors are retried with backoff and Retry-After. If the SEC refuses requests (HTTP 403), the run stops, still ends successfully, and says so in the status message and RUN_SUMMARY. If EFTS itself fails, the run also ends successfully: status efts-error, with the reason and the per-keyword cap in the status message. Hits already read are kept. The watch date is not moved forward, so the next run retries the same window.
• Full-text rows do not include the Form 4 insider-trade parse. Use tickers or CIKs when you need owner, role, shares and price.
• Form 4 parsing reads the ownership XML (non-derivative and derivative transactions). Holdings-only rows are skipped. Reporting-owner addresses and signatures are not output; insider names, roles and trades are part of the public filing.
• Submissions JSON covers each company's most recent filings (about 1,000). Older history is not fetched.
• Feed mode shows the newest filings per form type (up to 100 per run); a Form 4 appears under the issuer company. The feed has no 8-K item codes or document links; use tickers/CIKs when you need them.
• Form 3/5 and 13D/13G parsing, XBRL financial facts and webhooks are not included yet.

Not investment advice

This Actor delivers public SEC filings as data. It does not give investment, legal or tax advice. Insider transactions can have many reasons (tax, plans under Rule 10b5-1, gifts).

FAQ

Do I need an API key? No. EDGAR is open; no SEC account is needed. How fresh is the data? The SEC usually publishes a filing on EDGAR within minutes of acceptance; the Actor reads it on the next run. Can I get only insider purchases? Use form type 4 and filter insiderTransactionCodes containing P in your integration. How do I search an exact phrase? Put the phrase in double quotes in Full-text keywords, for example "material cybersecurity incident". A keyword without quotes is a normal EFTS query, not a phrase.
