What it does

This is a SEC filings scraper and company filings API for the US Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system. Give it stock tickers, CIK numbers, a company name substring, or a full-text search query, and it returns one clean record per filing, ready for research, compliance, monitoring, or a data pipeline.

Two ways to search:

• By company. Pass tickers, ciks, and/or a companyName substring. The actor resolves each to its SEC CIK, reads that company's full EDGAR submissions history, applies your form-type and date filters, and writes one normalized record per filing.
• By full-text search. Pass a fullTextQuery (words or exact "phrases", 2001 to present) to find matching filings across every EDGAR filer, just like the EDGAR full-text search, narrowed by form type, date range, and optional CIKs.

Every filing record carries the full company profile (business and mailing addresses, EIN, phone, SIC code and description, exchanges, former names) alongside the filing metadata (form, filing and report dates, accession number, primary document URL and filing index URL, file and film numbers, 8-K item codes, size, and XBRL flags).

Optional paid add-ons enrich each record:

• Insider transactions (withDetails): for ownership filings (Form 3, 4, 5), parse the ownership document into insider trades (reporting owner, role, security, shares, price, date, shares owned after) plus an aggregate bought/sold/net signal.
• Company financials (withFinancials): attach the company's latest reported XBRL financials (revenue, gross profit, operating and net income, assets, liabilities, equity, cash, long-term debt, EPS, shares outstanding, public float), each with its unit, period-end date, fiscal year, and source form.

No API key, no login, no proxy. The SEC asks clients to identify themselves and keep request rates modest, which the actor handles automatically. Data covers US SEC EDGAR filings.

Why this SEC EDGAR scraper

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns up to 10 of the most recent 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K filings for Apple and Microsoft.

{
  "tickers": ["AAPL", "MSFT"],
  "formTypes": ["10-K", "10-Q", "8-K"],
  "maxFilings": 10
}

Full-text search example (every 8-K that mentions "artificial intelligence" in early May 2024):

{
  "fullTextQuery": "\"artificial intelligence\"",
  "formTypes": ["8-K"],
  "dateFrom": "2024-05-01",
  "dateTo": "2024-05-15",
  "maxFilings": 50
}

Provide companies by ticker, by CIK, and/or by a company name substring, or use a full-text query. Leave formTypes empty to keep every form.

Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace <TOKEN> with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~sec-edgar-filings-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tickers":["AAPL"],"formTypes":["10-K"],"maxFilings":5}'

Start a run asynchronously (insider transactions on Tesla Form 4s):

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~sec-edgar-filings-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tickers":["TSLA"],"formTypes":["4"],"withDetails":true,"maxFilings":50}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/sec-edgar-filings-scraper \
  --input '{"fullTextQuery":"\"going concern\"","formTypes":["10-K"],"maxFilings":25}'

Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing format:

# JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

# CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

# Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"

<DATASET_ID> is returned as defaultDatasetId in the run object. Use offset and limit to page through large result sets. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per filing record returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• Add-ons billed only when they deliver. The details event is charged on a row only when an enrichment genuinely succeeds (parsed insider transactions when withDetails is on, or attached XBRL financials when withFinancials is on), and always after the base record is delivered. At most one details charge per row.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• Spend cap respected. Set maxTotalChargeUsd on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
• Free Apify plans are capped at 10 records per run, base fields only. Upgrade for higher maxFilings and the paid add-ons.
• Source politeness. The SEC rate-limits and requests client identification; the actor respects that automatically, so very large multi-company pulls run at a steady pace.

FAQ and troubleshooting

Do I need an SEC or API key? No. This actor reads public SEC EDGAR data directly. There is no key, login, or proxy to configure.

How does full-text search work? Set fullTextQuery to your words or an exact "phrase". The actor searches the full text of EDGAR filings from 2001 to today across all filers, then applies your formTypes, dateFrom/dateTo, and optional ciks filters. Each returned record still carries the full company profile.

How do I get insider trades (Form 4)? Set formTypes to ["4"] (or include 3 and 5) and turn withDetails on. The actor parses each ownership document into insiderTransactions and an aggregate insiderSignal.

How do I get financials (revenue, net income, EPS)? Turn withFinancials on. Each record gains a financials object with the company's latest reported XBRL figures, each labeled with its period end, fiscal year, and source form.

Which forms are supported? All of them. 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, 4, 13F-HR, SC 13D, SC 13G, DEF 14A, and any other EDGAR form. Leave formTypes empty to keep everything, or list the forms you want.

A run returned 0 records. Why? The company had no filings matching your formTypes and date range, the ticker/CIK did not resolve, or the full-text query had no matches. Loosen filters or verify the identifier. Zero-result runs are not charged.

Why is a field null? The SEC submission did not include that value. Missing source values are returned as null, never invented.

Is this an official SEC tool? No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the SEC. It reads only data that is publicly available through SEC EDGAR. Use it in accordance with the SEC EDGAR access policies.
