Workflow Setup

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

Store the RapidAPI key as a repository secret.
Run the workflow on a schedule and persist last processed state in your own storage.
Fail or notify only when returned filings match the ticker, form, or event filters you care about.

First scheduled run checklist

Prove the endpoint in RapidAPI Playground before committing the YAML file. Then add RAPIDAPI_KEY as a repository secret and run the workflow manually once before enabling the schedule.

1. Test endpointRun GET /v1/sec/changes in RapidAPI Playground with a small ticker/date window
2. Add secretStore the generated key as RAPIDAPI_KEY in repository or organization secrets
3. Commit workflowDownload the starter YAML and place it under .github/workflows/
4. Manual runUse workflow_dispatch once, then turn on the schedule after the HTTP 200 response is confirmed

Endpoints Used

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

GET /v1/sec/changes
GET /v1/sec/latest
GET /v1/sec/stats

Integration FAQ

Is this a hosted alert service?

No. It is an API workflow pattern. Your repository controls scheduling, state, and notifications.

Can this run without a backend server?

Yes. GitHub Actions can call the RapidAPI endpoint directly on a schedule.

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-filing-monitor-github-actions.yml.
