Workflow Setup

This recipe shows how to move SEC filing data into automation tools using live HTTPS endpoints and standard API credentials.

Subscribe on RapidAPI and copy the generated RapidAPI key.
Create a Power Query parameter named RapidAPIKey and store the key there.
Paste the query into Advanced Editor, then refresh the table on schedule or on demand.

Endpoints Used

The integration uses live SEC Event Intelligence endpoints available through RapidAPI subscriptions.

GET /v1/sec/watchlist/changes
GET /v1/sec/changes
GET /v1/sec/company/{ticker}/filings

Integration FAQ

Is this an Excel add-in?

No. It is a copy-ready Power Query M recipe for the live RapidAPI endpoint.

Should the RapidAPI key be hard-coded in the query?

No. Use a Power Query parameter or a protected workbook workflow instead of pasting the key into shared cells.

No investment advice. These recipes move public SEC filing metadata into automation tools. They do not provide recommendations, ratings, signals, or personalized financial guidance. The starter workflow file is available at /downloads/sec-filings-excel-power-query.pq.
