SEC EDGAR Business Filings API and MCP server

No authsec

Public-company identity, filing history, and bounded XBRL financial evidence from SEC EDGAR. Reported facts retain their source periods and forms.

SEC EDGAR Business Filings is published by U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR and covers United States public filers.

Calls reach the publisher at request time, so an answer reflects the record as it stood then.

Last verified . That is when these facts were last rebuilt from the ParcelOps source registry, not when U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR last refreshed the data itself.

What this source cannot tell you

  • ⚠ Anything outside United States public filers. A request past that edge comes back empty rather than approximated.
  • ⚠ Which years it spans, because the covered period is not declared.
  • ⚠ Anything U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission EDGAR does not publish. ParcelOps returns this source as it stands and never fills a blank field from a different one.
  • ⚠ Private companies without SEC filings are not covered.
  • ⚠ Financial facts preserve the issuer-reported period and filing form and are not a credit score.
