BUILD SOMETHING / DEVELOPER TUTORIALS

From endpoint
to working workflow.

Original JavaScript and Python examples for the data the API actually returns. Run the request, keep its context, and understand its limits.

JAVASCRIPT / WORKFLOW

Find recent SEC filings from a ticker with JavaScript

Build a provenance check for SEC filing responses

Write a small Node.js check for source URLs, fetch timestamps, stale flags, filing identifiers, and document links without overstating what metadata proves.

Build this workflow ↗JAVASCRIPT / WORKFLOW

Paginate available SEC filing history with JavaScript

Traverse an issuer’s available SEC history with a bounded request budget, deduplicate accessions, and detect source snapshot changes.

Build this workflow ↗JAVASCRIPT / WORKFLOW

Find and download SEC filing document text

Resolve a filing accession, inspect its real document manifest, and retrieve a bounded page of document text with Node.js.

Extract a 10-K risk-factor section with source context

Find an annual report and request Item1A using bounded heading-based extraction, retaining method and source metadata.

Read insider ownership XML without confusing holdings and trades

Find a Form4 accession and inspect parsed ownership records, transaction codes, decimal strings, and source footnotes.

Build this workflow ↗JAVASCRIPT / WORKFLOW

Read a 13F information table without inventing value units

Retrieve an investment manager’s13F rows and preserve reported values, security identifiers, and amendment context.

Build this workflow ↗JAVASCRIPT / WORKFLOW

Search SEC filing text across companies with JavaScript

Query official SEC document matches with a phrase, form filter, and filing-date bounds while preserving pagination and match identity.

Build this workflow ↗PYTHON / WORKFLOW

Read a daily SEC filing index with Python

Retrieve a published daily master index, preserve its source metadata, and distinguish daily filing discovery from real-time alerts.

Build this workflow ↗PYTHON / WORKFLOW

Download SEC filing metadata CSV and preserve its headers

Export a bounded annual-filing metadata page with Python, saving source and pagination headers next to the CSV.

Build this workflow ↗JAVASCRIPT / WORKFLOW

Compare original and amended filing metadata

Retrieve10-K and10-K/A records separately and inspect their accessions and reporting dates without overwriting the original filing.

Build this workflow ↗JAVASCRIPT / WORKFLOW

Inspect SEC XML as source-native JSON

Select an actual XML document from a filing manifest and inspect its JSON representation while preserving source semantics.

Build this workflow ↗JAVASCRIPT / WORKFLOW

Export Form D offering notices with JavaScript

Download a bounded page of quarterly Form D notices, preserve source strings and save archive provenance with the result.

Build this workflow ↗JAVASCRIPT / WORKFLOW

Select annual SEC revenue observations with JavaScript

What these tutorials cover

Company identity, available filing history, cross-company search, daily indexes, document text, section extraction, ownership XML,13F tables, source-native XML, reported XBRL observations, and CSV exports. They use the shipped endpoints and preserve the distinction between source data and your application’s interpretation.

Start with the quickstart to create an API key. Use the endpoint reference for parameter and response definitions, or inspect a real response in the playground. Source background is available in the official SEC API documentation.
