Userss can search filings by company, ticker, form type, or date, extract specific sections from 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K reports, and download original filing documents without working directly with raw EDGAR archives.

How does FinFeedAPI turn raw EDGAR filings into usable data?
FinFeedAPI retrieves filings directly from the SEC EDGAR system and converts them into structured outputs that are easier to search, extract, and analyze. Instead of working with raw HTML, text, or XBRL files, developers can query filing metadata, extract specific items from 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K reports, convert XBRL disclosures into JSON, and access clean text or HTML through a single API. This approach removes the need for custom parsers while preserving access to original filing documents when needed.

Use cases
Use case: Compliance & Regulatory Monitoring
