Use SEC API filing search to find the filing record you need before you retrieve or analyze its content. The result gives you the form, filing date, accession number, and SEC source URL to carry into the next request.

Run the issuer, form, citation, and response-shape checks that matter to your team before you commit to an integration.

​
Search a company’s filing history

curl "https://api.secapi.ai/v1/filings?ticker=NVDA&form=10-K&limit=5&sort=filing_date_desc" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SECAPI_API_KEY"
For one issuer’s newest filing, use GET /v1/filings/latest. For a known record, use the accession-number route. For a question about filing text, choose a content-search endpoint instead of treating the filing manifest as the answer.

​
Search the content of filings

curl "https://api.secapi.ai/v1/search/semantic?q=merger%20agreement&ticker=MSFT&form=8-K&mode=hybrid&limit=10" \
  -H "x-api-key: $SECAPI_API_KEY"
The semantic endpoint is GET /v1/search/semantic; q is required. The response returns matching sections with citation fields that point back to the SEC source. Use mode=keyword, mode=semantic, or mode=hybrid according to the retrieval behavior you need.

​
A practical research sequence

  1. Find the filing with GET /v1/filings or retrieve the newest form with GET /v1/filings/latest.
  2. Keep accessionNumber, filingDate, and filingUrl in your research record.
  3. Retrieve a named section by accession, or search sections with a concrete question.
  4. Verify any excerpt against the linked SEC filing before it becomes an investor, legal, or compliance conclusion.
