SEC API (sec-api.io) Review, Pricing, and Features
SEC API (sec-api.io)
SEC API is a commercial EDGAR service with filing search, real-time feeds, XBRL-to-JSON conversion, section extraction, insider filings, 13F data, and other regulatory datasets. It is for production ingestion rather than building your own parser. The free tier is small and redistribution needs enterprise terms.
Best for
- Developers, quants, and compliance teams that need fast SEC/EDGAR search, streaming, XBRL conversion, section extraction, and specialized regulatory datasets.
- API buyers comparing SEC filings, EDGAR, XBRL-to-JSON, Form 4, 13F, and real-time filing search.
- AI and research products that need structured filings and regulatory data without building their own SEC ingestion, parsing, and normalization stack.
Watch out
- The free tier covers the first 100 API calls, so real applications need a paid subscription quickly.
- SEC API covers EDGAR and U.S. regulatory data. It is not a market-data, portfolio, or global fundamentals terminal.
