SEC EDGAR Filings Query API

The below example retrieves all 10-Q filings filed by TSLA in 2020.

from sec_api import QueryApi

queryApi = QueryApi(api_key='YOUR_API_KEY')

query = {
  "query": { "query_string": { 
      "query": "ticker:TSLA AND filedAt:{2020-01-01 TO 2020-12-31} AND formType:\"10-Q\"" 
    } },
  "from": "0",
  "size": "10",
  "sort": [{ "filedAt": { "order": "desc" } }]
}

filings = queryApi.get_filings(query)

print(filings)

Fetch most recent 8-Ks with item 9.01

query = {
  "query": { "query_string": { 
      "query": "formType:\"8-K\" AND description:\"9.01\""
    } },
  "from": "0",
  "size": "10",
  "sort": [{ "filedAt": { "order": "desc" } }]
}

filings = queryApi.get_filings(query)

Fetch most recent 13F filings that hold Tesla

query = {
  "query": { "query_string": { 
      "query": "formType:\"13F\" AND holdings.cusip:88160R101"
    } },
  "from": "0",
  "size": "10",
  "sort": [{ "filedAt": { "order": "desc" } }]
}

filings = queryApi.get_filings(query)
