EDGAR Filing Search API

Search 14M+ SEC filings by 20+ parameters. Powered by Typesense with Lucene query syntax support, full pagination, and sub-200ms p95 latency.

​
Why use this

Most EDGAR search tools offer keyword-only queries against a limited window. SEC API Filing Search indexes the full EDGAR corpus and exposes structured filters that agents and applications can compose without screen-scraping.
  • 20+ filter parameters — ticker, CIK, form type, date range, SIC code, exchange, filing category, and more
  • Lucene syntax support — boolean logic, phrase matching, wildcards, and field-scoped queries
  • Typesense-backed — consistent sub-200ms response times with relevance scoring
  • Agent-friendly pagination — cursor-based traversal with predictable page sizes
