SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper: 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K by Ticker

Look up SEC filings for any company: 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly reports, 8-K current reports, Form 4 insider filings and other EDGAR form types, exported as a clean list with direct document links.

List the SEC filings of any US-listed company, fund or other filer by ticker, CIK or exact company name, straight from SEC's official EDGAR JSON API. Each filing comes with its form type, filing and report dates, acceptance time, 8-K item numbers, XBRL flags and direct links to the filing index, the primary document and the inline-XBRL viewer. No API key needed.

Quick start for AI agents and API users

• What it does: Get SEC EDGAR filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Form 4, S-1...) for US companies from SEC's official API.
• When to use it: For filing lists and document links.
• Example input (the form's prefill; it finishes in under a minute):

• From an AI agent: with the Apify MCP server, call call-actor with actor phaux/sec-edgar-filings, or load it as its own tool with https://mcp.apify.com?tools=phaux/sec-edgar-filings. Read results with get-dataset-items.

What does SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper do?

• Resolves tickers (AAPL, BRK.B or BRK-B), CIK numbers (320193, CIK0000320193) and exact SEC company names (Tesla, Inc.) using SEC's own company_tickers.json.
• Reads each filer's submission history from data.sec.gov/submissions and returns one dataset item per filing.
• Filters by form type (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4, S-1, DEF 14A, 13F-HR and any other EDGAR form, with or without /A amendments) and by filing date.
• Goes back to 1994 with includeOlderFilings, reading only the history pages that overlap your date window.

Why use it?

• Official data only: SEC's documented JSON API. No HTML scraping, so page changes don't break runs.
• Fast: two companies with 100 filings each typically finish in a few seconds.
• Pay per filing saved: unknown tickers, filtered filings and duplicates are free.
• Ready-to-open links to every filing's index page and primary document.

Use cases: monitoring new 8-Ks and Form 4 insider filings, building filing calendars, feeding 10-K/10-Q links into research or LLM pipelines, and compliance or due-diligence checklists.

How to use it

1. Enter tickers, CIKs or exact company names in companies.
2. Optionally choose formTypes and a date window (filedFrom, filedTo).
3. Run the Actor and open the Filings dataset view, or download JSON, CSV or Excel.
4. Open primaryDocumentUrl or filingIndexUrl to read the filing itself on sec.gov.

Input

{
  "companies": ["AAPL", "320193", "BRK.B", "Tesla, Inc."],
  "formTypes": ["10-K", "10-Q", "8-K"],
  "includeAmendments": true,
  "filedFrom": "2025-01-01",
  "filedTo": "",
  "includeOlderFilings": false,
  "maxFilingsPerCompany": 100,
  "maxItems": 0
}

filedFrom and filedTo take a date (2025-01-01) or a period (90 days, 2 years).

Field	Type	Default	Description
companies	array	required	Tickers (AAPL, BRK.B), CIK numbers (320193 or CIK0000320193) or exact company names as SEC lists them (e.g. 'Tesla, Inc.'). Max 2,000.
formTypes	array	—	Keep only these forms, e.g. 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4, S-1, DEF 14A, 13F-HR. Empty = all forms.
includeAmendments	boolean	true	When on, '10-K' also matches '10-K/A'.
filedFrom	string	—	A date (2025-01-01) or a period ('90 days', '2 years').
filedTo	string	—	A date (2025-12-31) or a period ('30 days').
includeOlderFilings	boolean	false	SEC's main file has each company's most recent ~1,000 filings. Turn on to also read the older history pages (1 extra request each; only pages that overlap your date window).
maxFilingsPerCompany	integer	100	0 = no limit. Newest filings first.
maxItems	integer	0	0 = no limit. You are only charged for filings saved.
contactEmail	string	—	SEC asks automated clients to declare who they are. If you add your email it is appended to the User-Agent sent to SEC (and nowhere else).
requestsPerSecond	integer	5	SEC's fair-access limit is 10/s in total; this Actor never exceeds 8 and defaults to 5.

How much does it cost?

Pay per event. Apify platform usage is included.

Event	Price
Actor start	$0.01 per run (one event per GB of memory; the default 256 MB counts as one)
Filing (one dataset item)	$0.0004 ($0.40 per 1,000 filings)

Example: 1,000 filings in one run cost $0.01 + $0.40 = $0.41. Companies that aren't found, filtered filings and duplicates are not charged. Use maxItems to cap any run.

Use with AI agents, MCP and the API

• MCP: add https://mcp.apify.com?tools=phaux/sec-edgar-filings to any MCP client and ask for, say, "Apple's 10-K filings since 2020".
• API: POST https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/phaux~sec-edgar-filings/run-sync-get-dataset-items with {"companies": ["AAPL"], "formTypes": ["10-K"]} returns the filings directly.
• Field names, types and formats are documented in the input and dataset schemas.

Data source and compliance

• Hosts used: data.sec.gov (official API) and www.sec.gov/files/company_tickers.json. Document links point to www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/…, which SEC's robots.txt explicitly allows. The Actor never uses /cgi-bin (disallowed by robots.txt) or the full-text search host.
• SEC content is public. SEC says it "may be copied or further distributed by users of the web site without the SEC's permission" (https://www.sec.gov/privacy). Please cite SEC as the source.
• SEC fair-access policy is followed: a declared User-Agent (Phaux-SEC-EDGAR-Apify-Actor/0.1 (+https://apify.com/phaux/sec-edgar-filings), plus your email if you set contactEmail), 5 requests/second by default and never more than 8 (SEC's limit is 10), and gzip transfer.
• On HTTP 429, or SEC's rate-threshold page, the Actor stops at once, keeps what it already saved and says so in the status message. It doesn't retry, rotate IPs or use proxies.
• No contact data. The SEC API also returns company addresses, phone numbers and EINs; this Actor does not output them.

Limits

• Filing metadata and links only. The text of filings and XBRL financial facts are not extracted.
• Up to 2,000 companies per run.
• Without includeOlderFilings, each company's most recent ~1,000 filings are covered.
• Not investment advice. This is raw regulatory metadata as filed with SEC.

FAQ

• Company name not found? Use the exact name SEC lists (for example Tesla, Inc.), or use the ticker or CIK.
• More than ~1,000 filings for a company? Turn on includeOlderFilings.
• Can I get only new filings each day? Schedule the Actor with filedFrom: "1 day".
• Something isn't working? Open an issue on the Issues tab with the run ID.
