SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper

Get filings from the SEC EDGAR database by ticker, CIK or company name, or search the text of filings. You get one record per filing: form type, filing and report dates, 8-K item numbers, file sizes, XBRL flags, links to the filing page and the main document, and the company profile (industry code, address, phone, fiscal year end, exchanges). Use it for investor research, compliance monitoring, event tracking from 8-K filings, and lead lists based on public companies.

The data comes from the public EDGAR interfaces of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. No API key is needed. The actor identifies itself with a descriptive User-Agent and keeps its request rate below the limits of the SEC fair access policy.

What you get

One record per filing. Fields a filing does not have are null (or an empty list).

cik	string	Company CIK, 10 digits
company_name	string or null	Company name
ticker	string or null	First ticker of the company

lei, website, investor_website	string or null	Published when the company has filed them
search_query	string or null	The search text that returned the filing; null for company lookups
search_score	number or null	Relevance score of the best matching document in the filing
matched_document_name, matched_document_type, matched_document_description, matched_document_url	string or null	The best matching document of the filing (for example the 10-K itself or an exhibit)
scraped_at	string	UTC timestamp, ISO 8601

EDGAR full-text search returns matching documents and a relevance score. It does not return text snippets, so the record names the matching document and links to it.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Description
companies	list of text	empty	Tickers (AAPL), CIK numbers (0000320193 or 320193) or company names (Microsoft Corp). A comma or line separated text also works. A name uses the best match in the SEC company list.
searchQuery	text	empty	Full-text search over filings, for example "going concern" with quotes for an exact phrase. Covers filings from 2001 on. With companies given, the search is limited to those companies.
formTypes	list of text	empty (all forms)	For example 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4, S-1. A form type matches exactly: 10-K does not include 10-K/A, so list both to get both.
dateFrom, dateTo	text	empty	Filing date range, YYYY-MM-DD, both ends included.
maxResults	integer	100	Maximum number of filings across all companies. 0 means no limit. The limit is shared equally between the companies; a share that is not used goes to the later ones.
includeOlderFilings	boolean	false	EDGAR lists the most recent filings of a company first and keeps older ones on extra pages. Switch on to read those pages as well. Company lookups only.

Numbers may be given as text ("25"). An empty input {} runs a small sample (company AAPL, forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, up to 10 filings) and the run status says so. If the input cannot be read, the actor runs that same sample and writes a warning to the log. A company given twice, or by ticker and by CIK, is fetched once, and a filing that is found twice is delivered once. Dates that are not YYYY-MM-DD stop the run before anything is charged.

Pricing

Pay per event. There are two events: actor-start, a one-time event charged together with the first delivered filing, and filing, charged once for each delivered filing. The price of each event is shown on the Pricing tab of this Actor. You are charged only for filings that were delivered; a run that finds nothing costs nothing. If you set a maximum cost per run, the run stops at that limit and the status message says how many filings were delivered.

FAQ

Which companies can I look up? Every company with a CIK on EDGAR. Tickers and names are matched against the SEC company ticker list; a company that is not in that list can still be looked up by CIK.

What happens with a ticker that does not exist? It is skipped and listed in the run status. The other companies are still processed.

Why does 10-K not return 10-K/A? Form types match exactly. Add 10-K/A to formTypes to get amendments as well.

How far back do company lookups go? Without includeOlderFilings the actor reads the recent filings list of each company, which EDGAR keeps at one year of filings or the latest 1000 filings, whichever is more. Switch on includeOlderFilings to read the older pages too.

How is the limit shared between companies? maxResults is divided equally between the companies in the order given. If a company has fewer matching filings than its share, the rest goes to the later companies.

Which filing does a full-text hit point to? Search finds documents inside filings, including exhibits. The actor delivers one record per filing and keeps the best scoring document in the matched_document_* fields.

Where do the dates come from? filing_date is the day the SEC accepted the filing. report_date is the period the filing covers and is empty for forms without one.

Limits

• Only public EDGAR data is returned. The actor returns filing metadata and links; it does not download or parse the filing documents.
• Full-text search covers filings from 2001 on. The actor reads at most 100 result pages (10,000 documents) per search.
• company_name is the current company name, which can differ from the name the company had when an old filing was made.
• The actor makes at most 4 requests per second, below the SEC limit.
