Choose the access route before selecting a plan

Use RapidAPI when the buyer is calling REST endpoints and wants marketplace billing, quotas, and generated snippets. Use the MCP evaluation runner first when the buyer is testing an MCP client against the hosted remote server.

Pricing handoff metadata

Buyers and API directories can use these stable URLs to evaluate the paid REST path, the hosted MCP setup path, and the direct-key production boundary.

Fastest Production Path

Most REST buyers can start through RapidAPI immediately. Hosted MCP buyers can verify the public remote server first, then request a direct key only when production tools/call access is required.

What the plans cover

The first paid offer is intentionally narrow: normalized public SEC filing data for automation workflows. Pricing and limits can be reviewed as buyer workflows and request volume grow.

Pricing FAQ

Where is billing handled?

RapidAPI handles the current marketplace subscription path. Direct access is available as a non-marketplace request path when the marketplace path is unavailable.

Can I test before paying?

Yes. Use the public demo JSON and the free Basic plan to check response shape before selecting a paid tier.

Is this investment advice?

No. The API returns public SEC filing data and metadata only.
