Real-time access to SEC 8-K filings — the official disclosure form every U.S. public company must file within four business days of any material corporate event. Built directly on the SEC's EDGAR full-text search API for authoritative, low-latency data.

📊 Sample Output

👁 SEC EDGAR 8-K filings — accession number, filing date, ticker, company, material event items, source URL. Equity research, compliance monitoring, M&A intelligence, securities event tracking.

What you get

Every 8-K filing returned by this SEC EDGAR API scraper is normalized into a clean JSON record with the filing's accession number, filing date, company identifiers (name, ticker, CIK), and — most importantly — the full list of 8-K Item numbers plus their human-readable descriptions. No more cross-referencing the SEC's Item taxonomy by hand.

Why 8-Ks matter

8-Ks are the heartbeat of U.S. corporate event flow. They cover 30+ material event categories, including:

• M&A and acquisitions (Item 1.01, 2.01) — material definitive agreements and completed deals
• Executive changes (Item 5.02) — CEO/CFO departures, appointments, and comp packages
• Bankruptcy (Item 1.03) — receivership and insolvency filings
• Cybersecurity incidents (Item 1.05) — mandatory under 2023 SEC rules
• Earnings releases (Item 2.02) — quarterly results
• Material impairments (Item 2.06) — write-downs
• Regulation FD disclosures (Item 7.01) — selective disclosure cures
• Changes in control (Item 5.01), delistings (Item 3.01), and more

Who uses it

• Equity research analysts — building event-driven research pipelines
• Hedge funds — event-driven and merger-arb strategies
• M&A bankers — peer-deal tracking and pitch intel
• Compliance teams — monitoring portfolio company disclosures
• Financial journalists — sourcing corporate event stories from primary documents
• IR teams — benchmarking peer disclosure cadence
