# Get Apple's latest 10-K with automatic section parsing
filing = get_filing("AAPL", filing_type="10-K")
print(filing["summary"])

# Extract a specific section (e.g., Risk Factors)
filing = get_filing("AAPL", filing_type="10-K", section="1A")
print(f"Risk Factors: {len(filing['section']['content'])} characters")

# Get a list of recent 8-K filings
filings = get_recent_filings("MSFT", filing_type="8-K", count=5)
for f in filings:
    print(f"{f['filingDate']}: {f['form']} - {f['primaryDocDescription']} - {f['items']}")
