​
Benchmark workflows

Benchmarks are here to answer one simple question: does SEC API help you finish real investor work faster without hiding the source trail?

​
What the benchmark set measures

1

Repeated investor workflows

The benchmark set prioritizes the paths investors and agents repeat all day: entity resolution, filing search, section extraction, statements, and insider or ownership reads.
2

Payload usefulness, not just raw milliseconds

Faster matters. Faster with smaller payloads and clear provenance matters more.
3

One-call investor intelligence

The gold corpus now includes allocator-style prompts that join company, macro, factor, ownership, and filing context into one compact response.
4

Published methodology

Competitive claims stay sourced, dated, and paired with enough context to show what the benchmark measured and what it did not.

​
Current snapshot

Against sec-api.io

On the 2026-03-18 dated suite, SEC API is ahead on the scoped entity, filing, section, and structured-facts workflows that investor agents repeat all day.

Against Financial Datasets

On the same suite, SEC API is ahead on the scoped statements, metrics, filings, and insider-trade workflows, with the current published scorecard at 18 wins, 0 losses, and 2 ties.

Investor-intelligence corpus

The named gold corpus measures one-call agent workloads such as return decomposition, factor neutralization, country reports, stress tests, and footnote investigation with compact outputs and dated latency artifacts.

FinanceBench canary

FinanceBench coverage is documented with dated harness context. Do not quote archived full-corpus runs without the caveat.

​
How to read the results

The current benchmark supports a specific, dated conclusion: SEC API is ahead of sec-api.io and Financial Datasets on the investor-agent workflows listed above. Treat the results as workload-specific evidence, not a universal claim about every possible speed, payload, or extraction task.
