EDGAR API

EDGAR API for Developers

Use direct SEC.gov EDGAR data when raw source access is enough. Use SEC Event Intelligence when a buyer needs normalized JSON, watchlist polling, company lookup, Postman import, OpenAPI, and hosted MCP setup paths.

Choose Raw EDGAR Or Hosted JSON

The right EDGAR API path depends on whether the buyer wants raw filing documents or a maintained integration surface.

Raw SEC.gov EDGARBest when the workflow can handle source formats, rate limits, and parsing internally.
SEC Event IntelligenceBest when the workflow needs normalized JSON, ticker filters, and watchlist polling.
Company lookupResolve CIKs and tickers before calling filing-history or event endpoints.
Postman + OpenAPIEvaluate request shape before moving credentials into a server-side job.
Hosted MCPLet MCP-capable clients discover public setup tools before production access.
