SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper

Scrape SEC EDGAR filings — 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly reports, 8-K material events, S-1 IPO filings, Form 4 insider trades, proxy statements, and more.

Works in two modes:

• Search mode — find filings across all companies by keyword, form type, and date range
• Company mode — get all filings for a specific company using ticker symbol or company name

No API key required. Uses the SEC's public EDGAR data APIs.

Use Cases

• Financial research — collect 10-K and 10-Q filings from public companies for analysis
• Insider trading monitoring — scrape Form 4 filings to track executive stock transactions
• IPO pipeline — monitor S-1 filings for upcoming IPOs
• Risk signals — full-text search for phrases like "going concern", "material weakness", or "data breach" across all filings
• Competitive intelligence — pull all filings from a specific competitor by ticker symbol
• Regulatory compliance — monitor 8-K filings for material events in an industry
