SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper

Scrape SEC EDGAR company filings by stock ticker or CIK and get back clean, structured JSON: a full company profile (name, SIC, exchanges, state of incorporation) merged with every filing — form type, filing and report dates, accession number, and a ready-to-open primary document URL. It uses the official SEC data API — no account, no API key. Built for financial analysts, compliance teams and researchers who need dependable filings data with filters for form type and date.

Features

• 🎯 Ticker or CIK input — resolves tickers (AAPL, MSFT) to CIKs automatically, or accept raw CIK numbers.
• 🗂️ Every filing — form type, filingDate, reportDate, acceptanceDateTime, accessionNumber and 8-K items.
• 🔎 Form filters — narrow to specific forms like 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4, S-1 or DEF 14A, or fetch all.
• 📅 Date filter — dateFrom returns only filings on or after a given date, most recent first.
• 🏢 Company profile — SIC code and description, exchanges, EIN, fiscal year end and state of incorporation on every row.
• 🔗 Direct links — documentUrl to the primary document and filingIndexUrl to the filing index.
• ⚙️ Reliable — dependable, well-paced runs that return complete filings data.

FAQ

Do I need an API key or account? No. The Actor uses the official SEC EDGAR data API (data.sec.gov), which is free and open — no login and no key. It sends a descriptive User-Agent and paces requests to respect SEC limits.

How many filings can I get per run? Set maxFilingsPerCompany from 1 to 5,000 per company, most recent first, across as many tickers or CIKs as you pass in.

How fresh is the data? Filings are read live from SEC EDGAR, so new submissions appear as soon as the SEC publishes them. Use dateFrom to return only filings on or after a given date.

Is the data official? Yes — it comes directly from the SEC's own EDGAR data API and reads only publicly available filings. This Actor is an independent tool and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

What's the output format? Flat JSON, one record per filing with the company profile merged in — form type, filing/report dates, accession number, plus a documentUrl and filingIndexUrl. Export as JSON, CSV or Excel.

Can I connect it to other tools? The SEC EDGAR Scraper can be connected with almost any cloud service or web app thanks to integrations on the Apify platform. It works with Make, Zapier, Slack, Airbyte, GitHub, Google Drive and many more, plus the Apify API, JavaScript/Python clients and MCP. Or use webhooks to trigger an action whenever a run finishes.
