Installation

pip install sec-api

Get your free API key on sec-api.io and replace YOUR_API_KEY with it.

SEC EDGAR Filings Query API

The query API allows you to search and filter all 18 million filings published on SEC EDGAR.


The example below retrieves all 10-Q filings filed by TSLA in 2020.

from sec_api import QueryApi

queryApi = QueryApi(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

query = {
  "query": { "query_string": {
      "query": "ticker:TSLA AND filedAt:{2020-01-01 TO 2020-12-31} AND formType:\"10-Q\""
    } },
  "from": "0",
  "size": "10",
  "sort": [{ "filedAt": { "order": "desc" } }]
}

filings = queryApi.get_filings(query)

print(filings)

Fetch most recent 8-Ks with item 9.01

query = {
  "query": { "query_string": {
      "query": "formType:\"8-K\" AND description:\"9.01\""
    } },
  "from": "0",
  "size": "10",
  "sort": [{ "filedAt": { "order": "desc" } }]
}

filings = queryApi.get_filings(query)

13F Institutional Investor Database

Fetch most recent 13F filings that hold Tesla

query = {
  "query": { "query_string": {
      "query": "formType:\"13F\" AND holdings.cusip:88160R101"
    } },
  "from": "0",
  "size": "10",
  "sort": [{ "filedAt": { "order": "desc" } }]
}

filings = queryApi.get_filings(query)

See the documentation for more details: https://sec-api.io/docs/query-api

SEC EDGAR Filings Real-Time Stream API

The stream API provides a live stream (aka feed) of newly published filings on SEC EDGAR. A new filing is sent to your connected client as soon as it is published.


Install the socketio client:

pip install python-engineio==3.14.2 python-socketio[client]==4.6.0

Run the example script below. Get your free API key on sec-api.io and replace YOUR_API_KEY with it.

import socketio

sio = socketio.Client()

@sio.on("connect", namespace="/all-filings")
def on_connect():
    print("Connected to https://api.sec-api.io:3334/all-filings")

@sio.on("filing", namespace="/all-filings")
def on_filings(filing):
    print(filing)

sio.connect("https://api.sec-api.io:3334?apiKey=YOUR_API_KEY", namespaces=["/all-filings"], transports=["websocket"])
sio.wait()

Full-Text Search API

Full-text search allows you to search the full text of all EDGAR filings submitted since 2001. The full text of a filing includes all data in the filing itself as well as all attachments (such as exhibits) to the filing.


The example below returns all 8-K and 10-Q filings and their exhibits, filed between 01-01-2021 and 14-06-2021, that include the exact phrase "LPCN 1154".

from sec_api import FullTextSearchApi

fullTextSearchApi = FullTextSearchApi(api_key="YOUR_API_KEY")

query = {
  "query": '"LPCN 1154"',
  "formTypes": ['8-K', '10-Q'],
  "startDate": '2021-01-01',
  "endDate": '2021-06-14',
}

filings = fullTextSearchApi.get_filings(query)

print(filings)

See the documentation for more details: https://sec-api.io/docs/full-text-search-api

XBRL-To-JSON Converter API

Parse and standardize any XBRL and convert it to JSON or pandas dataframes. Extract financial statements and meta data from 10-K and 10-Q filings.

The entire US GAAP taxonomy is fully supported. All XBRL items are fully converted into JSON, including us-gaap, dei and custom items. XBRL facts are automatically mapped to their respective context including period instants and date ranges.

All financial statements are accessible and standardized:

  • StatementsOfIncome
  • StatementsOfIncomeParenthetical
  • StatementsOfComprehensiveIncome
  • StatementsOfComprehensiveIncomeParenthetical
  • BalanceSheets
  • BalanceSheetsParenthetical
  • StatementsOfCashFlows
  • StatementsOfCashFlowsParenthetical
  • StatementsOfShareholdersEquity
  • StatementsOfShareholdersEquityParenthetical

Variants such as ConsolidatedStatementsofOperations or ConsolidatedStatementsOfLossIncome are automatically standardized to their root name, e.g. StatementsOfIncome.

Income Statement - Example Item

{
  "StatementsOfIncome": {
    "RevenueFromContractWithCustomerExcludingAssessedTax": [
      {
        "decimals": "-6",
        "unitRef": "usd",

        },
        "value": "260174000000"
      }
    ]
  }
}

Usage

There are 3 ways to convert XBRL to JSON:

from sec_api import XbrlApi

xbrlApi = XbrlApi("YOUR_API_KEY")

# 10-K HTM File URL example
xbrl_json = xbrlApi.xbrl_to_json(
    htm_url="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019320000096/aapl-20200926.htm"
)

# access income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement
print(xbrl_json["StatementsOfIncome"])
print(xbrl_json["BalanceSheets"])
print(xbrl_json["StatementsOfCashFlows"])

# 10-K XBRL File URL example
xbrl_json = xbrlApi.xbrl_to_json(
    xbrl_url="https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1318605/000156459021004599/tsla-10k_20201231_htm.xml"
)

# 10-K accession number example
xbrl_json = xbrlApi.xbrl_to_json(accession_no="0001564590-21-004599")
