With secapi.dev you get commercial rights, an official Python SDK, and standardized financials — at transparent prices you can see right now.
Everything you need to know about the secapi.dev SEC API — supported filings, data freshness, authentication, and pricing.
secapi.dev is a developer-friendly SEC API that turns raw SEC EDGAR filings into clean, structured JSON. A single REST API gives you SEC filings, standardized financial statements, Form 4 insider transactions, 13F institutional holdings, and company entity data — without parsing XBRL or scraping EDGAR yourself.
The SEC filings API covers the major EDGAR forms, including 10-K and 10-Q financial reports, 8-K material events, Form 4 insider transactions, 13F institutional holdings, S-1 registration statements, and 20-F and 6-K foreign filings. Each form is available as a structured, queryable endpoint.
The SEC's EDGAR system gives you raw documents and as-reported XBRL tags that still need heavy parsing. secapi.dev is an EDGAR API alternative that normalizes those filings: we map hundreds of XBRL tags to one canonical symbol per metric, deliver consistent JSON across companies, and add ready-made endpoints for insiders, institutions, and screening.
Create a free account, generate an API key, and pass it as an x-api-key header on each request. The API documentation includes a live request builder, code examples, and an OpenAPI specification so you can call SEC filings endpoints in minutes.
Filings are ingested in real time and typically parsed within seconds to a few minutes of being submitted to SEC EDGAR, so insider transactions, new filings, and financial updates are available almost as soon as they are public.
Yes — free accounts get 500 API requests per month on core SEC endpoints (filings, entities, insiders, institutions, and as-reported financials). Lite unlocks 10,000 requests/month plus canonical standardized statements, metrics, and ratios. Pro raises the cap to 100,000/month, and Enterprise is unlimited with an optional redistribution license. Upgrade, downgrade, or cancel anytime.
