SEC API (sec-api.io) Review, Pricing, and Features
SEC API is a commercial SEC/EDGAR API suite for developers, quants, compliance teams, and AI products that need fast filing search, real-time feeds, XBRL-to-JSON conversion, section extraction, insider filings, 13F data, and other structured regulatory datasets. It is strongest when you want production-ready normalized SEC data instead of building your own EDGAR ingestion stack, but the free tier is only a small starter allowance and redistribution requires enterprise terms.
