Four things worth knowing

EDGAR reports failures inside a 200. Overrunning the result window returns HTTP 200 carrying {"errorType": "ResponseError", "errorMessage": "… Result window is too large …"} — no hits key, no error status. Code that checks only the status reads that as an empty page and stops, quietly, having collected less than it should. This actor inspects the body and emits an api_error row.

A single date bound is silently ignored. startdt without enddt returns exactly the unfiltered result set — same count, same first page, no error and no warning. Both bounds must be present for the range to apply at all. This actor fills the missing side for you (today, or 2001-01-01 where full-text coverage begins) and says so in the log, so a one-sided range does what you meant rather than quietly doing nothing.

total.relation tells you whether the count is real. EDGAR is honest about clamping: eq means an exact count, gte means it stopped counting at 10,000 — and 10,000 is also the paging ceiling (from tops out at 9900, since from + 100 must not exceed it). The actor logs

Company names carry their tickers, sometimes several. FIFTH THIRD BANCORP (FITB, FITBI, FITBO, FITBP) (CIK 0000035527) is one string upstream. The names, tickers and CIKs ship separately, with the original in displayNames. Parentheses that are part of a registered name — SMART Modular Technologies (WWH), Inc. — are left alone, because only a trailing parenthesis is treated as a ticker group.

Identifying yourself

SEC's fair-access policy asks automated requesters to identify themselves in the User-Agent, and the default here names this actor rather than impersonating a browser. To be precise about what is enforced versus what is asked: the server rejects only an empty User-Agent (403). Any non-empty value is accepted. If you are running at volume, put your own name and contact in userAgent.

Errors

If every query fails, the run itself fails rather than reporting success over an empty dataset.
