SEC Daily API

Programmatic access to SEC filings, market news, and insider transactions.

Quick start

Create a free account to get your API key from the dashboard, then install the SDK:

bash

npm install sec-daily-api

typescript

import { SecDailyAPI } from "sec-daily-api";
const client = new SecDailyAPI({
  apiKey: process.env.SEC_DAILY_API_KEY,
});
const { filings } = await client.getFilings({
  ticker: "AAPL",
  formTypes: ["10-K"],
  limit: 5,
});
console.log(filings);

Prefer REST? Pass your key in the x-api-key header:

bash

curl "https://api.secdailyapi.com/filings?ticker=AAPL&limit=5" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY"

Authentication

Pass your API key via the SEC_DAILY_API_KEY environment variable (SDK picks it up automatically) or in the x-api-key header for direct REST calls. Never commit your key to source control.

bash

# .env
SEC_DAILY_API_KEY=your_api_key_here
