SEC EDGAR Filings — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 13F & Full-Text Search

Pull SEC filings for any EDGAR registrant as clean JSON — by ticker, CIK or company name — or search the text of every filing since 2001 for a phrase ("cybersecurity incident", a competitor's name, "going concern"). Each item carries form type, dates, 8-K item codes, accession number and every useful link (primary document, filing index, full submission .txt, XBRL viewer). Built for AI agents and analysts. No API key, no proxy, no browser — only the public SEC endpoints, used within SEC fair-use limits.

Use cases

• 8-K event monitoring — daily run over a watchlist with itemCodes: ["1.05","4.02","5.02"] to catch cyber incidents, restatements and executive departures the day they are filed.
• Keyword surveillance across the market — fullTextSearch for "ransomware", "tariff" or your competitor's name in 8-K / 10-K / 10-Q filings, with SIC and state facets.
• Insider-trading feed — Form 3/4/5 filings per issuer (forms: ["4"]), newest first, with direct XML/HTML links.
• 13F holdings tracking — 13F-HR filings for a list of institutional managers (by CIK) each quarter.
• IPO / capital-markets pipeline — S-1, S-1/A, 424B4 and F-1 filings with since to see who is going public.
• Proxy-season and governance research — DEF 14A / DEFA14A / PRE 14A by ticker; former names, filer category, addresses via includeCompanyProfile.
• Due diligence — full history of a company (paged back to 1994) filtered by form and date range.

Input

Field	Type	Default	Notes
mode	submissions | fullTextSearch	submissions	submissions = filings of specific companies. fullTextSearch = search filing text market-wide (needs query).
tickers	string[]	— (example in the form: ["AAPL"])	Exchange tickers (AAPL, BRK-B/BRK.B) or CIKs (up to 10 digits). Resolved via company_tickers.json; funds, insiders and private issuers have no ticker — use the CIK. Unknown values are listed in SUMMARY.notFound and the status message (not charged).
companyNameContains	string[]	—	Name fragments matched against SEC company titles. Exact title wins; otherwise first match is used and the alternatives are logged as a warning.
includeCompanyProfile	boolean	false	Emit one company item per company (former names, addresses, EIN, filer category, SIC, exchanges, FYE…).
forms	string[]	— (example in the form: ["10-K","10-Q","8-K"])	Free-text form filter, so any EDGAR form string works and common spellings are normalized here (10k→10-K, def14a→DEF 14A, 13F→13F-HR, 10-KA→10-K/A, abs15g→ABS-15G, 13G→SCHEDULE 13G). Matching is exact: 8-K does not include 8-K/A (list both for amendments). A form outside the dictionary is matched as typed and named in a warning (status message and SUMMARY.warnings). Empty = all.
formTypes	string[] (multi-select)	—	Same as forms, picked from the dictionary below; merged with forms. Only dictionary values are accepted here — the platform refuses others before the run starts, so type anything else into forms.
since	YYYY-MM-DD	—	Filed on/after. Older submission pages are fetched automatically when the range needs them.
until	YYYY-MM-DD	—	Filed on/before.
itemCodes	string[] (multi-select)	—	Submissions mode: keep 8-K / 8-K/A that report at least one of these items (dictionary below). Ignored in full-text mode.
limitPerCompany	integer 1–1000	20	Newest-first cap per company, after filters.
query	string	—	Full-text mode only, required. "exact phrase", words are ANDed, OR, -exclude, cyber* wildcards.
startDate / endDate	YYYY-MM-DD	fall back to since/until	Full-text date window. Empty = 2001 → today. A one-sided window is completed automatically (only startDate → up to today; only endDate → from 2001-01-01), because EDGAR full-text search ignores a start date without an end date.
entityName	string	—	Full-text: filer name contains (EFTS entityName).
sics	string[]	—	Full-text: 4-digit SIC codes of the filer.
locationCodes	string[]	—	Full-text: US state or EDGAR country codes of the filer.
locationType	located | incorporated	located	Whether locationCodes mean business address or state of incorporation.
maxItems	integer 1–10000	200	Hard cap on dataset rows (filings + company rows). The run also stops at your "Maximum cost per run".
fields	string[]	—	Output columns to keep, in your order; type and id are always kept (first, unless you list them). Names are matched ignoring case; unknown names are skipped with a warning, and the run fails when none exists. A row with none of the listed columns (e.g. a company row) is not written or charged.
dedupe	boolean	true	One item per accession number (co-registrants, several matching documents).

No single field is required, but submissions mode needs tickers or companyNameContains and full-text mode needs query. Bad dates, a missing company or query, or fields that name no output column fail fast with a clear error and nothing charged beyond the start.

Renamed forms: Schedule 13D / 13G

In December 2024 EDGAR renamed the beneficial-ownership schedules: SC 13D, SC 13D/A, SC 13G, SC 13G/A became SCHEDULE 13D, SCHEDULE 13D/A, SCHEDULE 13G, SCHEDULE 13G/A. A filter on either name matches both, so "latest 13G filings" returns 2025+ filings and older ones alike. The form column keeps the name the filing was made under.

Reference

Form types (forms / formTypes)

Where the data comes from

Source	Used for
https://www.sec.gov/files/company_tickers.json	ticker / name → CIK
https://data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK##########.json (+ -submissions-NNN.json pages)	company profile and full filing history

Examples

Watchlist 8-K monitor — executive changes, restatements, cyber incidents this quarter

{ "tickers": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "NVDA", "JPM"], "forms": ["8-K", "8-K/A"], "itemCodes": ["1.05", "4.02", "5.02"], "since": "2026-07-01", "limitPerCompany": 20 }

Who disclosed a cybersecurity incident since June (market-wide)

{ "mode": "fullTextSearch", "query": "\"cybersecurity incident\"", "forms": ["8-K"], "startDate": "2026-06-01", "maxItems": 100 }

Material weakness in annual reports of California software companies

{ "mode": "fullTextSearch", "query": "\"material weakness\"", "forms": ["10-K"], "sics": ["7372"], "locationCodes": ["CA"], "startDate": "2026-01-01", "maxItems": 200 }

Insider Form 4 feed for one issuer, compact output

{ "tickers": ["TSLA"], "forms": ["4"], "since": "2026-08-01", "limitPerCompany": 100, "fields": ["ticker", "form", "filingDate", "reportDate", "documentUrl"] }

13F holdings of Berkshire and a private manager by CIK, plus profiles

{ "tickers": ["BRK-B", "1067983", "1350694"], "formTypes": ["13F-HR", "13F-HR/A"], "limitPerCompany": 4, "includeCompanyProfile": true }

Ten years of annual reports (auto-pages into older history)

{ "companyNameContains": ["Palantir Technologies"], "tickers": ["AAPL"], "forms": ["10-K"], "since": "2014-01-01", "until": "2024-12-31", "limitPerCompany": 15 }

Output

One row per filing (type: "filing") and, with includeCompanyProfile, one company row per company. Rows are written as each company or search page is read. Unresolved tickers / company names, CIKs without submissions and empty searches are not rows (every row is charged): they are named in the run's status message and in the SUMMARY record of the key-value store (notFound, notFoundCount, errors, errorCount, warnings), free of charge. In full-text mode SUMMARY.search holds the total number of matching documents, the top facets (form, entity, SIC, state), the effective date window and the link to the same search on sec.gov — it is not a dataset row.

Pricing

Pay per event: $0.001 per run start + $0.002 per dataset row (filings and company profile rows; unresolved companies, empty searches and the SUMMARY record are free). Store discounts: Bronze −10 %, Silver −20 %, Gold and above −30 % on the row price; the start event is the same on every plan; platform usage is included. Typical runs: 4 tickers × 5 latest 8-Ks = 20 rows ≈ $0.041; a 100-hit full-text search ≈ $0.20; a 1,000-filing history dump ≈ $2.00. Set maxItems to bound the cost; the run also stops cleanly at your "Maximum cost per run" ("Stopped at your spending limit: N rows delivered").

Limits & FAQ

• Rate limits. SEC fair access allows 10 requests per second per user, however many machines send them, and blocks a client for about 10 minutes after too many. One run is sequential (≥150 ms between requests, a declared User-Agent), so it stays well below that. 5xx errors and timeouts are retried three times with backoff. An HTTP 403 or 429 from sec.gov is SEC's throttle: the run waits once or twice (20 s, then 60 s) and then stops with a clear status — the rows read so far are kept, and with nothing read the run fails, so a schedule notices. Many runs in parallel share Apify's addresses and SEC counts them together: queue them instead. There is no proxy mode: SEC limits per user, not per address.
• Long runs. A run near its timeout stops starting new requests, keeps what it has read and ends with "Stopped before the run timeout: N rows saved". Rows are written per company / search page, and a restarted run never writes or charges a row twice.
• Freshness. data.sec.gov submissions update within minutes of EDGAR acceptance; full-text search indexes filings with a short delay and covers 2001 onward.
• Tickers. Only exchange-listed issuers are in the ticker map. Mutual funds, insiders, 13F managers and private issuers must be given as CIK (find it on EDGAR company search).
• Paging into history. The first submissions file holds the newest ~1,000 filings; older pages are fetched only when since/until/limitPerCompany need them.
• Full-text search paging. EFTS pages through 10,000 documents per query at most — narrow the date range for more. It matches 8-K by root form, so its hits include 8-K/A; the actor keeps exactly the forms you asked for (SUMMARY.search.droppedOtherForms counts the rest).
• Full-text date window. EDGAR's search API applies a date filter only when both startdt and enddt are sent; the actor always sends both (see startDate/endDate). The effective window is echoed in SUMMARY.search.
• itemCodes apply to 8-K/8-K/A in submissions mode only (EFTS has no item filter — put "Item 1.05" in the query instead).
• No document text. The actor returns metadata and links; pair it with a fetch tool or the Yadroo sec-company-financials actor for XBRL numbers.
• Roadmap. Exhibit lists from index.json, Form 4 transaction parsing, 13F holdings tables. Tell us what you need.
