SEC Financials API - EDGAR Income, Balance & Cash Flow

Clean, normalized financial statements for any US public company, straight from SEC EDGAR. Give it a ticker, CIK, or company name and get the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, EPS, and key ratios for each fiscal period - in one tidy schema.

SEC's raw XBRL is a swamp: ~500 tagged concepts per company, the same line item tagged under different names, overlapping and restated periods, and a fiscal-year field that does not match the calendar. Most "SEC scrapers" hand you that raw mess. This Actor does the hard part - it maps concepts to canonical line items, picks the right value per period (latest restatement, correct duration), derives the fiscal year from the period end, and computes margins and returns - so you get analysis-ready financials, not a filing dump.

✅ What you get / ❌ what this isn't

This Actor gives you	This Actor is not
Normalized income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow per period	Not a raw XBRL or HTML filing dump
Canonical line items mapped across companies (revenue, net income, assets, equity...)	Not investment advice or price targets
Derived ratios: gross/operating/net margin, ROE, current ratio, debt/equity, free cash flow	Not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC
Annual (10-K) and quarterly (10-Q) periods, newest first	Not real-time intraday market or stock-price data
Ticker, CIK, or company-name input; clean per-company summary	Not a guarantee every private/foreign filer has XBRL data
Reliable official-API reads (no anti-bot, no proxy needed)	Not a substitute for reading the full filing for footnotes

🔎 Why use this Actor

• Pull a company's last several years of financials in seconds, already normalized.

• Power dashboards, newsletters, models, or LLM pipelines with clean fundamentals.

⚠️ Limits and caveats

• This Actor reads SEC EDGAR's public XBRL data. It is not affiliated with the SEC and provides no investment advice.
• Coverage depends on XBRL. Companies that report structured XBRL (essentially all domestic filers since ~2009) are covered; some foreign private issuers and very old filings may have gaps.
• Quarterly Q4 is not separately filed. Companies report Q1-Q3 on 10-Q and the full year on 10-K, so a standalone Q4 does not exist in EDGAR; use annual for the full year.
• Line items that a company does not report are returned as null rather than guessed - for example banks do not report gross profit, operating income, or a current ratio.
• Figures reflect the latest filed value for each period, so restatements supersede originals.
• Always confirm material decisions against the original filing for footnotes and context.

❓ FAQ

How do I look up a company?

Use a stock ticker (AAPL), the 10-digit SEC CIK (0000320193), or an exact company name (Apple Inc.). You can mix all three in one run.

Where does the data come from?

SEC EDGAR's official company facts (XBRL) and submissions APIs - the same structured data the SEC publishes from each 10-K and 10-Q. It is free, public, and authoritative.

Why are some fields null?

Because the company does not tag that concept for that period. Banks, insurers, and REITs report different statements than a manufacturer - this Actor returns null instead of inventing a number.

How is fiscal year determined?

From the period-end date, not SEC's raw fy field, which reflects the filing context and is frequently wrong (it can label a 2022 period as "FY2024"). A period ending September 2025 is reported as fiscal year 2025.

Does it need a proxy?

No. EDGAR is a public data source served from a CDN and works without a proxy. Enable Apify Proxy only on very large batches if you hit SEC's fair-access rate limit.
