SEC EDGAR — Public Company Filings

The Securities and Exchange Commission's filings database. Every public company in the US files here, every filing is timestamped and immutable, and every disclosure (revenue, debt, risk factors, executive compensation, M&A activity, insider trading) is structured for machine retrieval. Free and authoritative.

Why this matters for AI agents

If your agent is answering anything about a US public company — financials, legal exposure, IP, executive turnover, recent material events — the answer is in EDGAR. The data is structured (XBRL), so you don't have to parse PDFs.

The two key flows — and the one call that does both:

0. Snapshot (one call). "Give me the SEC picture on Apple." → edgarcompanysnapshot({tickerorcik: "AAPL"}) → CIK + the recent substantive filings (10-K/10-Q/8-K/20-F/40-F/6-K/DEF 14A by default; Form 4 noise excluded unless you ask for formtype: "all") + the headline XBRL figures from the latest annual report (revenue, net income, assets, cash, EPS…). This is flows 1 and 2 collapsed: the resolve → list → pull chain that depth users otherwise assemble by hand three calls at a time. A filer with no XBRL (a fund or trust) still returns its filings with financialsstatus: "unavailable" and the reason. edgartickerto_cik now returns a next hint pointing here.

1. Filings flow. "Show me Apple's recent 10-Q." → edgartickertocik("AAPL") → edgarcompany_filings(cik) → list of filings with accession numbers, form types, filing dates.

2. Concepts flow. "What was Apple's revenue trend the last 4 quarters?" → edgarcompanyconcept(cik, "Revenues") → time series of XBRL-tagged values across periods.

3. Peer/competitor flow. "Who competes with Apple?" → edgarcompaniesbysic({tickeror_cik: "AAPL"}) → resolves Apple's own SIC code (3571, Electronic Computers) and returns other SEC filers under that code, listed-ticker peers first. Pass a sic code directly instead of a company to browse an industry cold.

4. Entity-resolution flow (parent ↔ subsidiary). sponsortofiler({sponsor: "Merck Sharp and Dohme"}) resolves a subsidiary/operating name up to its listed parent (MRK). filertosponsors({tickerorcik: "MRK"}) goes the other way — the parent's full disclosed subsidiary list from Exhibit 21 of its latest 10-K, with jurisdiction and filing provenance. Pass name_filter to check one candidate name without reading the whole list.

5. Product-level revenue. "How much revenue did Keytruda generate?" → edgarproductrevenue({tickerorcik: "MRK", productfilter: "Keytruda"}). edgarcompanyconcept/edgarcompanyfacts only expose undimensioned XBRL totals — a product/segment breakdown is tagged with an XBRL dimension (a "Keytruda [Member]"), invisible to those APIs. This reads SEC's own rendered Financial Report of that dimensional data straight out of the revenue-disaggregation note, with a citation (accession, filing date, report URL). With no formtype it resolves 10-K, then 20-F, then 40-F, so foreign private issuers work the same way (edgarproductrevenue({tickerorcik: "NVS", productfilter: "Entresto"}) reads Novartis's 20-F); the form actually used comes back as resolvedform. Not every filer tags product-level revenue in XBRL — Neurocrine discloses revenue by major customer and United Therapeutics only its recognition policy, and both return an explicit not_found rather than an empty array.

Both flows are usually preceded by edgartickertocik or resolveentity({type: "company", value: "AAPL"}) to get the canonical 10-digit CIK.
