Developer Examples

First request chooser

Choose the smallest request that matches the integration path. REST buyers should start in RapidAPI. MCP clients can run a no-key tools/call before sending production credentials.

• REST first requestOpen the RapidAPI watchlist playground with GET /v1/sec/watchlist/changes, then copy the working snippet into the 5-minute quickstart
• Company filingsFetch issuer filing history with GET /v1/sec/company/AAPL/filings
• Form 4 filingsFetch public insider filing metadata with GET /v1/sec/insider-trades?ticker=MSFT
• MCP first requestOpen the MCP tool-call quickstart for public sec_demo_latest_filings and sec_subscription_info
• Copyable runnerDownload the MCP curl runner for initialize, tools/list, prompts, demo, and subscription-info checks

Buyer setup path

Use the route that matches the client before choosing a paid plan. REST integrations should use RapidAPI checkout. Hosted MCP clients should run public setup calls first, then request a direct key only for production tools/call data.

• REST checkoutOpen RapidAPI setup for marketplace billing, quotas, and generated snippets
• MCP evaluationRun the MCP evaluation runner before sending production credentials
• Plan selectionCompare RapidAPI plans and access routes before upgrading from the smallest useful tier
• Hosted MCP directRequest hosted MCP access when an MCP client needs production data tools

RapidAPI setup checklist

After subscribing, copy the generated key from the RapidAPI console and send both RapidAPI headers with every protected endpoint request.

• x-rapidapi-hostsec-event-intelligence.p.rapidapi.com
• x-rapidapi-keyYour generated RapidAPI application key
• First requestRun it in RapidAPI Playground with GET /v1/sec/watchlist/changes?tickers=AAPL,MSFT&limit=25

curl "https://sec-event-intelligence.p.rapidapi.com/v1/sec/watchlist/changes?tickers=AAPL,MSFT&limit=25" \
  --header "x-rapidapi-host: sec-event-intelligence.p.rapidapi.com" \
  --header "x-rapidapi-key: YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY"

Python first request

import requests

headers = {
    "x-rapidapi-host": "sec-event-intelligence.p.rapidapi.com",
    "x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY",
}

response = requests.get(
    "https://sec-event-intelligence.p.rapidapi.com/v1/sec/watchlist/changes",
    headers=headers,
    params={"tickers": "AAPL,MSFT", "limit": "25"},
    timeout=30,
)
response.raise_for_status()
print(response.json())

JavaScript first request

const response = await fetch(
  "https://sec-event-intelligence.p.rapidapi.com/v1/sec/watchlist/changes?tickers=AAPL,MSFT&limit=25",
  {
    headers: {
      "x-rapidapi-host": "sec-event-intelligence.p.rapidapi.com",
      "x-rapidapi-key": "YOUR_RAPIDAPI_KEY"
    }
  }
);

if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`SEC API request failed: ${response.status}`);
console.log(await response.json());

MCP no-key first call

These public JSON-RPC requests are safe setup checks for remote MCP clients. The demo call verifies live sample data, and the subscription-info call returns the REST checkout, hosted MCP access, pricing, and client-config links.
