Required headers

RapidAPI sends traffic to the SEC Event Intelligence REST API with two generated headers. Keep the key server-side for production apps and scheduled jobs.

Endpoint playground checklist

After subscribing, use RapidAPI Playground as the first live execution path. It confirms the selected app, key, host header, and endpoint parameters before the request is copied into an application.

Watchlist firstRun getWatchlistChanges with AAPL,MSFT,NVDA
Resolve companyRun searchCompanies before company-specific feeds
Check profileRun getCompanyProfile to confirm ticker coverage
Poll changesRun getFilingChanges for a date-window feed

Buyer-ready first endpoints

These endpoints cover the most common setup checks: a ticker watchlist feed, issuer-specific filing history, and company lookup before building a polling workflow.

Company filings request

Use this request when the app needs a company detail page, issuer filing timeline, compliance queue, or filing-history sync by ticker.

Access route

RapidAPI is the self-serve REST route. Hosted MCP production tools use a direct Data APIs key only when an MCP client must call https://api.data-apis.com/mcp directly.

REST checkoutOpen RapidAPI listing for subscription, quotas, and snippets
MCP setupRun no-key MCP tool calls before requesting hosted MCP production access
Direct keyRequest hosted MCP access only when a direct MCP key is required

Troubleshooting

Most failed first calls come from missing RapidAPI headers, calling the Data APIs base URL with RapidAPI headers, or exposing the key in a browser-only app.

401 or 403Confirm the RapidAPI app is subscribed and sends x-rapidapi-key
Host mismatchUse sec-event-intelligence.p.rapidapi.com for RapidAPI requests
Browser appsCall through a backend, worker, or serverless function so the key stays private
