SEC Filings

Use when someone asks what changed between a filing and the one before it, such as this year's 10-K against last year's. Compares the filing with the preceding available reporting period of the same company and form. Returns full sentence-change counts and bounded examples for up to eight sections, and reports when no prior filing is available. It is a sampled comparison, not a complete redline.

Use when someone asks for the reported numbers in one filing, such as revenue, net income or total assets. Returns XBRL facts tagged to that filing's accession, for the API's ten supported concepts: up to 200 reported values with units and periods. It does not return all periods for a company and it does not give investment advice.

Use when someone asks for a company's recent SEC filings, such as its latest 10-K, 10-Q or 8-K, by ticker or CIK. Works for any company in the SEC's ticker list. Returns up to 20 filings from the company's recent EDGAR window, each with a filing id, form type, dates, accession number and original SEC link.

Use when someone asks what a filing says in a section, wants its section index, or needs a sourced excerpt. A metric row label with a section returns a table row, its definition or footnote, and the SEC page. A phrase with a section or attachment filename returns one matching sentence and its printed SEC page. The API URL opens the primary filing's sections. A regular section lookup returns up to 20,000 characters and reports truncation.

Use when someone asks what several companies say in the same section of their latest filing of one form, such as the risk factors in the latest 10-K of each company in a list. Takes up to 25 tickers or CIKs, a form and a section id. Returns, per company, a status (ok, unknown_ticker, no_filing, no_section or error), the filing id, dates and SEC source, and an excerpt of the section, with up to 24,000 characters shared across the companies and a flag that marks a cut. It needs a paid plan key and consumes one call per company.
