SEC Filings API

Tradefeeds provides customers with real-time SEC filings API of more than 20 000 publicly traded companies listed on the NYSE, NASDAQ and other stock exchanges. SEC filings API is available in a JSON format or you can obtain data on the SEC filings from downloadable excel and CVS files too. We also offer a real-time SEC RSS Feed API, allowing developers to integrate the latest SEC reports.

Tradefeeds has an internal database of 19+ million SEC filings that date back from 1994, the founding year of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Data on SEC filings API is updated on a daily basis. 

Types of SEC Filings in API Database

The API database contains all 200+ types of SEC filings. Companies’ filings submitted to the EDGAR system are financial statements and reports that receive a particular form name and form description by the U.S. Security and Exchange Commission. SEC filings are arranged around six key groupings: annual fillings (Form 10-K), quarterly filings (Form 10-Q), current reports (8-K), proxy filings (DEF14A), registration statements (Form 424B2), Section 16 filings (Form4) and slightly more. Customers predominantly look for APIs for these six groupings of SEC filings.They are also interested in other common types of SEC filings such as: Form 6-K, Forms 3 and 5, Form S-1, Form S-3, Form S-8 , Form 20-F, Form 40-F , Schedule 13, Form 144.  SEC filings data of different companies are searchable by stock ticker symbols and form types in the API URL Path field. The SEC Filings API database is set up in such a way that companies’ filings are arranged according to their company names, stock ticker symbols, ISIN and CIK numbers.

 

 

SEC RSS Feed API

To make it easier for users to track the latest financial statements, Tradefeeds provides a real-time SEC RSS Feed API, updated at ten-minute intervals. Using this, developers can integrate the most recent SEC reports and build their feed based on their application requirements. The API output showcases the filing’s title, type, the affiliated company’s name, CIK number, and ticker. It also includes a timestamp and a direct link directing users to the SEC Archives for an in-depth look. With the aid of filtering API parameters, we can precisely determine the desired time frame and document type within the RSS feed, streamlining the process of locating the necessary SEC filing.
