SEC Enforcement & Litigation Release Delta Feed
Pricing
from $50.00 / 1,000 new enforcement releases
Converts SEC.gov litigation releases and administrative proceedings into a structured, delta-tracked JSON feed. Automatic EDGAR CIK entity resolution, parsed monetary sanctions, and cited statutes/rules. Zero-maintenance, pay-per-event: billed only for genuinely new or changed releases.
You can access the SEC Enforcement & Litigation Release Delta Feed programmatically from your own applications by using the Apify API. You can also choose the language preference from below. To use the Apify API, you’ll need an Apify account and your API token, found in API & Integrations in Apify Console.

It simplifies API development, integration, and documentation.
OpenAPI is effective when used with AI agents and GPTs by standardizing how these systems interact with various APIs, for reliable integrations and efficient communication.
By defining machine-readable API specifications, OpenAPI allows AI models like GPTs to understand and use varied data sources, improving accuracy. This accelerates development, reduces errors, and provides context-aware responses, making OpenAPI a core component for AI applications.
