SEC API Docs

Use these guides to solve investor workflows quickly. They keep the path short: start with the job, copy the request or prompt, and keep the evidence metadata with the result.

Start from the workflow that matches your job

Issuer research

Resolve a company, fetch the latest filing, extract the key sections, pull the all-statements bundle, and keep the source trail intact.

Offerings monitor

Track fresh S-1 and 424B4 activity without living inside EDGAR.

Ownership monitor

Compare manager positions, ticker holder graphs, historical institutional extracts, and quarter-over-quarter changes.

Market utilities

Check market status, read documented index coverage, and pull the SEC API Volatility Score with explicit partial-state semantics.

What these docs are designed to do

1

Show the best path through the API

You should not need to memorize the entire API before getting something useful out of SEC API.
2

Give you prompts that survive handoff

Every guide should give you a prompt you can hand to a coding agent without rewriting it into a second prompt.
3

Keep the trust trail visible

Provenance, freshness, materialization, and trace metadata are part of the job, not decorative metadata you strip off later.

Copyable workflow prompts
