SEC EDGAR Filings Monitor: 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, Form 4 & S-1 by Ticker

Track new SEC filings for your whole watchlist in one run. For each filing you get the form type, filing and report dates, acceptance timestamp, 8-K item codes (e.g. 2.02 Results of Operations, 5.02 Officer changes), accession number, and direct links to the primary document and the filing index. Data comes from the official SEC EDGAR data API (data.sec.gov), so there is no scraping, no proxies, and nothing breaks when the website changes. Price: $2 per 1,000 filings.

Use cases

• Event-driven trading and alerts. Get notified the day a company files an 8-K, 10-Q or 10-K, or an insider Form 4.
• Insider trading monitoring. Watch Form 4 filings for any list of tickers.
• Investor relations and competitive intelligence. Follow competitors' and portfolio companies' filings.
• Compliance watchlists and KYC refreshes.
• LLM and AI agent pipelines. Feed new filing links to an agent for summarisation.

Input

Field	Description
tickers (required)	US tickers, e.g. AAPL, TSLA, MSFT.
contactEmail (recommended)	Your email address. The SEC asks every automated EDGAR client to identify itself in the User-Agent header with a contact email (SEC fair-access policy). It is sent only to sec.gov, never stored in the output, and never shared. If you leave it empty, the Actor identifies itself with its own project contact; for heavy or business use, please provide your email.
organizationName	Optional name or company added to the User-Agent.
formTypes	Optional filter, e.g. 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, 4, S-1, DEF 14A. Leave empty to get all forms.
sinceDate	Only returns filings on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to the last 30 days.
maxFilingsPerTicker	Caps the number of results (and the cost) per ticker.

Unknown tickers are listed for free in the ERRORS record of the key-value store.

Pricing

Pricing is pay-per-event: $0.002 per filing returned. Unknown tickers and errors are free. To cap spending, set Max total charge in the run options; the Actor stops cleanly at your limit.

Scheduling

Create a daily Apify Schedule with sinceDate left empty (a rolling 30-day window) and deduplicate on accessionNumber. Then send new filings to Slack, email, Google Sheets or a webhook through Apify integrations.

Legal & fair access

The Actor uses the SEC's public EDGAR APIs, which are free and intended for programmatic access. It stays under the SEC's limit of 10 requests per second, backs off on errors, and identifies the requester with the contact email you provide, as the SEC requires. Filings are public records.

FAQ

Why should I give an email? The SEC asks automated clients to declare a contact so it can reach you instead of blocking traffic. Without your email, the Actor declares its own project contact.

How fast do new filings appear? EDGAR's submissions API usually updates within minutes of acceptance.

Does it cover non-US companies? Yes, any company that files with the SEC and has a ticker in SEC's company list, including foreign private issuers filing 20-F and 6-K.
