FILINGS · RECENT STREAM

The SEC filings API, as a clean stream.

EDGAR accepts thousands of filings a day across every form type. Filingrail’s recent-filings endpoint turns that firehose into a clean JSON stream you can filter by form type (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4, 13F-HR…) and by company — each record linking straight to the filing on sec.gov.

The fields

What every record carries.

Filingrail parses the underlying SEC filing into a flat, typed JSON object. These are the fields you get on each record:

Fields returned by the SEC Filings API
Field What it is
form_type The SEC form (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4, 13F-HR, S-1, etc.).
company_name Name of the filing issuer.
cik SEC CIK of the filer.
ticker The issuer's ticker where resolvable.
filing_date Date EDGAR accepted the filing.
accession_number SEC accession number — the unique filing identifier.
filing_url Direct link to the filing on sec.gov.

SAMPLE

A real-shaped response.

One GET returns the data array plus a meta block. The values below are an illustrative example of the response shape.

The field that matters most for trust is the link to the source filing on sec.gov — filing_url on each record where the rows come from many filings, and meta.source_filing_url where one filing backs the whole response. Either way, any value you surface traces back to its source.

GET /v1/filings/recent?type=8-K&limit=2 · 200 OK 
{
  "data": [
    {
      "form_type": "8-K",
      "company_name": "NVIDIA CORP",
      "cik": 1045810,
      "ticker": "NVDA",
      "filing_date": "2026-07-06",
      "accession_number": "0001045810-26-000123",
      "filing_url": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1045810/.../nvda-8k.htm"
    }
  ],
  "meta": {

    "filter": { "type": "8-K" },
    "as_of": "2026-07-07T08:00:00Z"

FAQ

Common questions

What is a SEC filings API?
It exposes the EDGAR filing stream — the record of every document companies submit to the SEC — as structured JSON. Filingrail’s recent-filings endpoint lets you pull the newest filings across all issuers, filtered by form type and by company, without scraping the EDGAR full-text index yourself.
What is the endpoint and what does it return?
GET /v1/filings/recent. It returns an array of recent filings, newest first, filterable by type (form type) and cik (a single issuer), plus a meta block. Each record includes form_type, company_name, cik, ticker, filing_date, accession_number, and filing_url.
Which form types are covered?
The full EDGAR form catalog flows through the stream — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Form 4, 13F-HR, S-1, and the rest. Filter with the type parameter. The dedicated endpoints (financials, insider-trades, 8-K events, 13F) give you the parsed contents of those forms; recent-filings gives you the filing-level stream.
How current is the stream?
Filingrail refreshes from SEC EDGAR daily. New filings appear in the recent-filings endpoint after the daily ingest window; meta.as_of gives the exact ingest timestamp for any response.
Is there a free tier?
Yes — Basic is $0 with a hard cap of 50 requests/day, no credit card. Pro is $9/mo for 5,000 requests, Ultra $49/mo for 50,000, Mega $199/mo for 500,000. RapidAPI handles billing and keys.
Why is there a filing URL on every record?
So you go straight from a filing in the stream to the document on sec.gov, with no EDGAR-index scraping. filing_url is the direct link, and the parsed endpoints carry the same traceability at the data-point level — filing_url per record on insider trades, 8-K events and 13F holdings, and meta.source_filing_url on company financials.

Start on the free tier.

50 requests/day, no credit card. Query the endpoint and read the source filing behind every record.
