Live SEC Filings

Ultimate plan required
WebSocket streams are exclusive to the Ultimate plan. Compare plans and upgrade.
Subscribe to live SEC EDGAR filings over the same WebSocket connection. Use channel F.{ticker} for a specific ticker (e.g. F.AAPL) or F.* for every new filing market-wide. Each message is pushed the moment a filing is indexed and carries metadata only - ticker, company, CIK, form type, filed date, accession number, and EDGAR base URL. Fetch the full filing document and exhibits via the REST /filings endpoints. Like news, filings stream around the clock.
Use cases
- Real-time filing alerts for
8-K,10-K,10-Qand other form types - Event-driven workflows when a watchlist company files with the SEC
- Compliance and research feeds without polling the REST filings API
- Triggering document retrieval pipelines as filings are published
Subscribe
Send a subscribe message after connecting. Use F.{ticker} (e.g. F.AAPL) for a single symbol or F.* for every symbol.
