}'Frequently asked questions
What is EdgarKit?
EdgarKit is a real-time JSON API for SEC EDGAR filings. It returns Form 3/4/5, 13F, 13D/G, 8-K, 10-K, and other filings as structured data, with optional webhooks. New filings are typically available via the API within 30 seconds of SEC acceptance.
How is EdgarKit different from the SEC's own EDGAR API?
SEC EDGAR is the source of truth but exposes data as raw XML and HTML, with a 10 request-per-second rate limit and batched daily indexes. EdgarKit polls EDGAR continuously, parses each filing into normalized JSON, maps CUSIPs to tickers, and pushes new filings via webhook. You get sub-minute latency and code-ready data without running your own EDGAR poller.
Is there a free tier?
Yes. The free tier is 1,000 API calls per month, 10 calls per minute, with no credit card required. Paid tiers add webhooks, higher rate limits, and email or priority support.
How fast is EdgarKit's data?
New filings are typically available via the API within 30 seconds of being accepted by the SEC. Webhooks push the filing to your endpoint at the same time, so you don't have to poll.
Which SEC filing forms does EdgarKit support?
All major form types: Form 3, 4, and 5 (insider transactions), 13F (institutional holdings), 13D and 13G (large beneficial owners), 8-K (material events), 10-K (annual report), 10-Q (quarterly report), S-1 (IPO registration), DEF 14A (proxy), and amendments. See the full list.
Can I use EdgarKit for an AI agent or LLM?
Yes. EdgarKit's structured JSON output is well-suited for LLM tool calls. The free tier is enough to prototype agents that summarize filings, detect insider buying clusters, or alert on 8-K events.
