pip install edgartoolsBefore you can access the SEC Edgar API you need to set the identity that you will use to access Edgar. This is usually your name and email, or a company name and email.
Sample Company Name AdminContact@<sample company domain>.comThe user identity is sent in the User-Agent string and the Edgar API will refuse to respond to your request without it.
EdgarTools will look for an environment variable called EDGAR_IDENTITY and use that in each request.
So, you need to set this environment variable before using it.
export EDGAR_IDENTITY="Michael Mccallum [email protected]" $Env:EDGAR_IDENTITY="Michael Mccallum [email protected]"Alternatively, you can call set_identity which does the same thing.
from edgar import set_identity
set_identity("Michael Mccallum [email protected]")For more detail see https://www.sec.gov/os/accessing-edgar-data

filings.filter(form="D", amendments=False)

# Filter to get all filings before 2023-02-23
filings.filter(date=":2023-02-23")get_filings(2022, form="D")The filings data is stored in the Filings class as a pyarrow.Table. You can get the data as a pandas dataframe using
to_pandas
df = filings.to_pandas()The Filings object allows you to navigate through filings using filings.next() and filings.prev().
This shows you pages of the data - the page size is about 50.
# To see the next page of data
filings.next()
# To see the previous page
filings.prev()
# To see the current page
filings.current()
You can get the latest n filings by filing_date from a filings using filings.latest().
If you provide the parameter n it will return the latest n filings.
filing = filings.latest(n=5)
filing
If you omit this parameter, or set n=1 it will return a single `Filings object.
filing = filings.latest()
filing
You can filter the filings object using te filter() function. This allows you to filter
by filing date, or by form.
To filter by filing date specify the filing date in YYYY-MM-DD format e.g. 2022-01-24
(Note the parameters date and filing_date are equivalent aliases for each other)
filings.filter(date="2021-01-24") # or filings.filter(filing_date="2021-01-24")You can specify a filing date range using the colon
filings.filter(date="2021-01-12:2021-02-28") To filter by dates before a specified date use `:YYYY-MM-DD'
filings.filter(date=":2021-02-28") To filter by dates after a specified date use `YYYY-MM-DD:'
filings.filter(date="2021-02-28:") You can filter filings by form using the form parameter.
filings.filter(form="10-K") To filter by form e.g. 10-K and include form amendments use amendments = True.
filings.filter(form="10-K", amendments=True) 
You can get a single filing from the filings using the bracket operator [],
specifying the index of the filing. The index is the value displayed in the leftmost
position in the filings table. For example, to get the 10-Q for Costco in the table above
use filings[3]
filing = filings[3]
You can view the filing homepage in the terminal using filing.homepage
This gives you access to the FilingHomepage class that you can use to list all the documents
and datafiles on the filing.
filing.homepage
You can open the filing in your browser using filing.open(). This will work on environments with access to the browser,
will probably not work on a remote server.
filing.open()You can open the filing homepage in the browser using filing.homepage.open().
filing.homepage.open()You can view the filing's HTML content as markdown in the console using view(). It works for all filing types
but can be a little slow for filings with large HTML files
filing.view()You can get the html content of the filing using.html()
filing.html()You can get the html content as markdown using.markdown()
filing.markdown()Every filing has a list of attachments. You can view the attachments using filing.attachments
# View the attachments
filing.attachments
You can access each attachment using the bracket operator [] and the index of the attachment.
# Get the first attachment
attachment = filing.attachments[0]
You can download the attachment using attachment.download(). This will download the attachment to string or bytes in memory.
Now the reason you may want to download attachments is to get information contained in data files. For example, 13F-HR filings have attached infotable.xml files containing data from the holding report for that filing.
Fortunately, the library handles this for you. If you call filing.obj() it will automatically download and parse the data files
into a data object, for several different form types. Currently, the following forms are supported:
| Form | Data Object | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 10-K | TenK |
Annual report |
| 10-Q | TenQ |
Quarterly report |
| 8-K | EightK |
Current report |
| MA-I | MunicipalAdvisorForm |
Municipal advisor initial filing |
| Form 144 | Form144 |
Notice of proposed sale of securities |
| C, C-U, C-AR, C-TR | FormC |
Form C Crowdfunding Offering |
| D | FormD |
Form D Offering |
| 3,4,5 | Ownership |
Ownership reports |
| 13F-HR | ThirteenF |
13F Holdings Report |
| NPORT-P | FundReport |
Fund Report |
| EFFECT | Effect |
Notice of Effectiveness |
| And other filing with XBRL | FilingXbrl |
For example, to get the data object for a 13F-HR filing you can do the following:
filings = get_filings(form="13F-HR")
filing = filings[0]
thirteenf = filing.obj()
If you call obj() on a filing that does not have a data file, then it will return None.
Some filings are in XBRL (eXtensible Business Markup Language) format. These are mainly the newer filings, as the SEC has started requiring this for newer filings.
If a filing is in XBRL format then it opens up a lot more ways to get structured data about that specific filing and also about the company referred to in that filing.
The Filing class has an xbrl function that will download, parse and structure the filing's XBRL document if one exists.
If it does not exist, then filing.xbrl() will return None.
The function filing.xbrl() returns a FilingXbrl instance, which wraps the data, and provides convenient
ways of working with the xbrl data.
filing_xbrl = filing.xbrl()
With the Company API you can find a company by ticker or CIK, and get the company's filings, facts and financials.
Company("AAPL")
.get_filings(form="10-Q")
.latest(1)
.obj()
