SEC EDGAR Data
Public-company filings and facts straight from the SEC
The SEC's EDGAR data API serves filing histories and company facts for every US public company as JSON, keyed by CIK. The submissions endpoint returns a company's identity, tickers, exchanges and recent filings. It is US-government public data; the SEC requires a descriptive User-Agent and rate-limits fair use.
