This SEC EDGAR scraper turns the official SEC filings database into a clean feed — give it a stock ticker (or company name) and get one row per filing: the form type with a plain-English label, filing & report dates, the filer, accession number, and direct links to the filing index and primary document. Filter to a specific form — Form 4 insider trades, 8-K material events, 10-K annual reports, 13F institutional holdings, S-1 IPOs — and by date. Export to CSV, JSON, or Excel.

Built for investors, equity & credit analysts, compliance teams, fintech builders, and journalists who want a clean, queryable filings/insider-trade feed — not EDGAR's raw 1990s interface. Official SEC data (data.sec.gov), no API key, no anti-bot.

Why use this

• Parsed Form 4 insider transactions — the killer feature. For Form 3/4/5 filings it fetches the ownership XML and returns the full transaction table (security, code + plain-English label, shares, price, value, shares owned after) plus the insider's name and role (director / officer + title / 10% owner). Competitors stop at a link to the document.
• Buy/sell signal_score (-100…+100) — every insider filing is classified (open-market buy = bullish, sale = bearish, grant/exercise/tax = routine) with total_bought_value, total_sold_value, and net_transaction_value, so you can rank real conviction trades.
• Company profile on every row — SIC industry, exchange, fiscal-year-end, state of incorporation, entity category — joined automatically.
• Ticker → filings in one step — you give AAPL; it resolves the CIK and pulls the filings (no CIK lookup needed).
• Plain-English form labels — 4 → "Insider trade", 8-K → "Material event", 13F-HR → "Institutional holdings".
• Direct document links — jump straight to the filing's primary document and index.
• Form + date filters — e.g. only Form 4 insider trades since a date, across several tickers at once.
• Authoritative + free — straight from the SEC, no key, no proxies.

Use cases

• Insider-trade tracking — pull Form 4s across a watchlist of tickers and watch executive buying/selling.
• Event monitoring — schedule 8-K pulls to catch material events (M&A, exec changes, results).
• Fundamental research — grab the latest 10-K/10-Q with direct document links.
• 13F / activist watch — track institutional holdings and SC 13D/G ownership stakes.
• Compliance / journalism — a clean, dated, linkable filings trail.

Use with AI agents & automation

Run from the Apify MCP server so AI agents can pull filings as a tool call, schedule it via Make, n8n, or Zapier to alert on new Form 4s / 8-Ks for a watchlist, or sync to Google Sheets. Clean flat JSON drops into a trading/research pipeline with no glue code.

FAQ

Where's the data from? The official SEC EDGAR data API (data.sec.gov) and the SEC ticker→CIK map — public US government data.

Do I need an API key? No.

How far back does it go? The SEC "recent" feed holds up to ~1000 of each company's latest filings; use formType + dateFrom to scope it.

Does Form 4 include the trade details? Yes — with parseInsiderTransactions on (default), the actor fetches each Form 3/4/5 ownership XML and returns the full parsed transaction table (insider name + role, transaction code with a plain-English label, shares, price, total value, shares owned after) plus a buy/sell signal_score. Turn it off, or lower maxInsiderDocs, for faster link-only runs.

Can I export to CSV or Google Sheets? Yes — CSV, JSON, or Excel, or sync via Make/n8n/Zapier.
