What Does SEC EDGAR Company Filings Scraper Do?

SEC EDGAR Company Filings Scraper looks up public company submissions on SEC EDGAR and saves matching filing rows.

• Search by ticker or CIK: use symbols such as AAPL, MSFT, or identifiers such as 0000320193.
• Filter form types: collect 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Form 4, S-1, or any other SEC form values.
• Filter by filing date: limit results with dateFrom and dateTo.
• Export document links: include SEC filing detail URLs and primary document URLs when available.
• Use as an API feed: run from Apify API, schedules, webhooks, or the official Apify MCP server.

Tips For Better Results

• Use CIKs for precision: tickers can change, while CIKs are stable SEC identifiers.
• Filter forms when possible: forms keeps datasets focused and reduces noise.
• Use date windows: dateFrom and dateTo help create clean monthly, quarterly, or event-specific exports.
• Keep polite delays: SEC requests should be paced; avoid setting requestDelayMs too low for large company lists.
• Remember the scope: this Actor exports filing metadata and document links, not full parsed filing text.

• Filing metadata can change when SEC updates company submissions.
