🏛️ SEC Investment Adviser (IAPD) Scraper

🚀 Export SEC registered investment adviser records in seconds. Pull individuals and firms from the official Investment Adviser Public Disclosure database with CRD IDs, SEC numbers, disclosure flags, and current employment. Download as CSV, Excel, JSON, or XML.

The SEC IAPD Scraper queries the official SEC api.adviserinfo.sec.gov search service used by the public Investment Adviser Public Disclosure portal. Every record includes the registrant's CRD/Source ID, SEC numbers (full and short), registration scope (Active vs Inactive), disclosure flag, and current employment details where applicable. No login, no CAPTCHA, no manual exports required.

The dataset covers every individual investment adviser representative and every adviser firm tracked by the SEC under IAPD, including legacy registrations and previously-registered persons.

Coverage: 10,000+ individuals and thousands of firms returned per query, fully searchable by name or keyword.
