SEC Filings API GET

About the SEC Filings API

SEC Filings works by projecting the SEC EDGAR submissions feed for US public companies into a clean, decision-ready filing history. On top of the raw filing list it derives activity analytics - counts by form type, filing cadence, and days since the last annual, quarterly and current report - so you can see a company's disclosure activity at a glance rather than paging through EDGAR. Data is refreshed continuously from official SEC filings.

Ways to call it

One endpoint, many ways in — REST with JSON, XML, YAML and CSV, plus GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents.

JSON: Default REST response
XML: Markup format
YAML: Human-readable
CSV: Tabular export
GraphQL: Query language
MCP: For AI agents

Questions.

Common questions about the SEC Filings API.

Read the docs →

What does the SEC Filings API do?

How do I authenticate SEC Filings API requests?

Pass your API key in the x-api-key header over HTTPS. One key works across all 300+ APIVerve APIs — there are no per-endpoint credentials.

How much does the SEC Filings API cost?

Each call spends 6 credits from your shared pool. The free tier includes 200 credits every month, and paid plans add more headroom.

How fast is the SEC Filings API?

Response time depends on the endpoint — the p50 through p99 latency for this API is published on this page. Requests are served over HTTPS through a global edge network.

What response formats does the SEC Filings API support?

JSON by default, plus XML and YAML via the format parameter. GraphQL and an MCP interface for AI agents are available across the catalog.

What HTTP method does the SEC Filings API use?

GET over HTTPS, following standard REST conventions with a consistent { status, error, data } response envelope.

Request parameters — GET /v1/secfilings

Sent in the query string. Premium parameters are accepted on every plan but only take effect on plans that include them. Anything not listed here is dropped rather than passed through.

Required

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`ticker`Required	string	`AAPL`	Stock ticker symbol (e.g. AAPL, MSFT, ADBE) length 1-6

Optional

Parameter	Type	Example	Description
`form`OptionalPremium	string	`10-K`	Filter to a single form type (e.g. 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4).
`limit`OptionalPremium	integer	`10`	Number of filings to return (1-50). Defaults to 5. range 1-50

Example request

1
2

curl "https://api.apiverve.com/v1/secfilings?ticker=AAPL&form=10-K&limit=10" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Send your key in the x-api-key header. That is the only auth step — no token exchange, and no per-endpoint scope to configure.

Header	When	Value
`x-api-key`Required	Every request	Your API key. Header names are case-insensitive, so `X-API-Key` is the same header.
`Authorization`Alternate	Instead of the above	`Bearer <key>` — for clients that only expose bearer auth. Resolves to the same account and the same billing.

401 is the only auth verdict

A 401 means the key is missing, invalid or expired. A 403 means the key is valid but not permitted here — blocked by a key restriction or an IP allow-list. Running out of credits is a 429.

Response — GET /v1/secfilings

Every APIVerve endpoint returns the same three top-level keys, so one response handler covers your whole integration: status, error and data. Only data changes shape.

Response headers

Every response carries your balance, so your own code always knows where it stands without polling anything. All four are exposed to browsers through CORS.

Header	What it carries
`x-api-remaining-credits`	Credits left in the current cycle
`x-api-credits-used`	Credits spent in the current cycle
`x-api-max-credits`	The allowance for the cycle
`x-api-version`	Version of the endpoint that answered

Errors

Read the HTTP status first, then error for the specific reason. The body names the parameter that has to change.

Status	Meaning	What to do
`400`	Input was rejected	Read `error`; it names the parameter that has to change.
`401`	Key missing or invalid	Check the header name and the key value.
`403`	Key valid, but not permitted here	A key restriction or an IP allow-list — never a bad key.
`429`	Rate limited, or out of credits	Read `error` to tell them apart, then back off or top up.

What a call costs — 6 credits per call

Credits are shared across every APIVerve API — one balance, one key, one bill. Failed requests never count against it, so a rejected input costs nothing.

Plan	Per month	Credits	SEC Filings calls	Per 1,000 calls
Free	Free	200	33	Free
Starter	$29.99	200,000	33,333	$0.90
Pro	$99.99	1,000,000	166,666	$0.60
Mega	$299.99	4,000,000	666,666	$0.45

Calls are what the credits buy at this API's rate — spend them here, on any of the other APIs, or across both. Nothing is reserved per endpoint.
