SEC.gov (EDGAR) Review, Pricing, and Features
SEC.gov EDGAR is the official free source for U.S. company, fund, insider, and 13F filings, with full-text search, RSS, bulk archives, and public JSON APIs. It is the validation source for filings research, not a polished commercial terminal.
Best for
- Anyone needing the official free source for U.S. public-company filings, fund filings, insider forms, 13F reports, XBRL company facts, and bulk EDGAR archives.
- People comparing filing products who need a free official baseline for commercial EDGAR APIs.
- Developers and AI workflows that can work within fair-access limits and need official JSON submissions and XBRL-derived data.
Watch out
- Automated users must declare a User-Agent and stay within the current 10 requests/second access limit.
- SEC.gov provides official filings and APIs, but not cleaned commercial datasets, sentiment models, normalized KPI libraries, or paid support for data pipelines.
