What is the difference between a 10-K and a 10-Q?

A 10-K is the annual report with audited financial statements; a 10-Q is the quarterly report for the first three fiscal quarters, with financial statements that are reviewed but not audited. There is no 10-Q for the fourth quarter because the 10-K covers it. Large accelerated filers file the 10-K within 60 days of year end and each 10-Q within 40 days of quarter end.

Both carry Inline XBRL, so their values appear in the SEC companyfacts API with the form and accession that reported them.
