SEC EDGAR Filings Search & Monitor (8-K, 10-K, S-1)

What does SEC EDGAR Filings Search & Monitor do?

It searches SEC EDGAR filings (8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, S-1, Form 4, 13D/G, Form D and every other form type) through the official EDGAR full-text search API run by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. You get one clean row per filing: company, ticker, CIK, form, filing date, period, 8-K item numbers with plain-English descriptions, SIC code, business and incorporation state, plus direct links to the main document and to the filing index.

Turn on monitor mode and schedule it daily to get only new filings, for example every new 8-K item 1.05 (cybersecurity incident), every S-1 or every 13D.

How to use it

1. Pick form types (e.g. 8-K) and/or add company CIKs (e.g. 320193 for Apple).
2. Optionally add a full-text search, for example "going concern" or "material weakness".
3. Set days back or a start and end date, then run it. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel, or use the API and integrations.

How much does it cost?

$3.00 per 1,000 filings, no start fee. One filing = one result, even if several of its documents match. In monitor mode the first run is a free baseline (stores existing filings, no output, no charge); later runs charge only new filings. Set a maximum cost per run; the actor stops cleanly at the limit and only remembers what it delivered. The $5 monthly credit on the Apify free plan covers about 1,650 filings.

Limits

• EDGAR full-text search covers filings from 2001 onwards and returns at most 10,000 matches per search; narrow forms, CIKs or dates for more.
• Requests follow the SEC fair-access policy (declared User-Agent, well under 10 requests/second). You can add your contact e-mail to the User-Agent in the input.
