SEARCH & DISCOVERY / AVAILABLE

Filing search by company API

Filter one issuer’s recent filings or traverse its available SEC history.

What this endpoint returns

Per issuer; validated referenced history files in all-history mode.

  • accessionNumber
  • form
  • filingDate
  • documentUrl

Make a request

Use an API key from your dashboard. Replace any uppercase CIK, ACCESSION, or DOCUMENT placeholders with actual identifiers. For document workflows, obtain the accession from filing metadata and choose a filename from the accession’s document manifest; filenames are not inferred from company names.

curl --fail-with-body "https://sec-api.dev/api/v1/filings?cik=320193&form=10-K&history=all" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SEC_API_KEY"

Keep the source context

Successful JSON responses provide a data envelope and source metadata. Store the original resource URL, fetchedAt retrieval time, and stale flag beside results. A retrieval timestamp is not the SEC’s publication timestamp. Use the documented pagination fields instead of assuming the first response is complete. Never treat a failed request as an empty filing or position set.

Limits that affect your application

Full means available referenced source history, not every document ever filed.

Account rate limits and request quotas apply. Respect Retry-After when supplied and bound retries. Source-format differences may produce explicit validation errors; retain the request ID when investigating. This API makes public data accessible, but does not guarantee the correctness of a filer’s financial disclosures.
