sec-api.io sells SEC filing data on flat plans from $49 a month, and 1Lookup returns a company's annual financials for $0.010 when the SEC holds them.

Pulling SEC filings into software. Its pricing page lists filing search, full-text search, a real-time stream, Forms 3/4/5, 13F, executive compensation, audit fees and Form D on one key, and its XBRL-to-JSON Converter turns the tagged financial data of a filing into JSON. The docs say the entire US GAAP taxonomy is supported.

Checked October 2026: Free is $0 for 100 API calls in total, with no credit card. Personal & Startups shows $49 a month ($588 billed yearly), Business Internal Use shows $199 a month ($2,388 billed yearly), and Enterprise & Institutions is 'Priced per agreement'. The paid plans include 50 GB or 100 GB of data download volume a month, with $0.30 per GB beyond it, and per-second rate limits. No price per request is printed.

2 credits per company found, free when the SEC holds no annual statements for it. On the Starter plan ($99 a month for 20,000 credits) a company is about $0.010, which covers 10,000 companies a month and is $9.90 per 1,000. At the Enterprise end of the rate card it is about $0.004. sec-api.io is the cheaper bill to start: Personal & Startups is $49 a month, and Business Internal Use, the plan for internal use at a company, is $199, against $99 for a Starter month.

sec-api.io's XBRL-to-JSON Converter returns everything tagged in one filing: the cover page, income statement, balance sheet, cash flow and equity statements, every other tagged section, custom items and segment breakdowns. It keeps each company's own XBRL element names, and each fact's value is a string of unscaled digits with its period, unit and optional segment. 1Lookup returns a finished summary instead: revenue, gross profit, operating income, net income, total assets and liabilities, equity, cash, long-term debt, operating cash flow, diluted earnings per share, growth and margin for the latest fiscal year, the newest quarter's revenue and net income, and up to five years of revenue, net income and total assets, as plain numbers in the currency the company reports in.

The Converter's documented inputs are htm-url, xbrl-url and accession-no, so each request converts one filing, and a ticker or CIK is not listed as a Converter input. The docs point to the separate Query API, with its own rate limit, to find a filing first. 1Lookup takes a ticker, a CIK number or a company name and returns the company's latest annual figures in one call.

sec-api.io says new filings are available in less than 300 milliseconds after they are published on EDGAR, so to watch for the newest filing it is faster than 1Lookup. A repeat lookup of the same input by the same user within seven days is answered from the cache at no charge, and bypass_cache: true reads it again. Each answer names the fiscal year end and the filing date of the annual report it used.

Yes, and far more widely. Its Form D data holds every Form D offering filed since 2008 converted into JSON, searchable on any field with Lucene syntax, so one query can list every raise over $10 million in an industry. A search returns at most 50 results per response and at most 10,000 per query. 1Lookup's Funding Trigger does the opposite job: you name one company by its registered name or CIK number and it returns whether the company has reported a private raise on a Form D, with the amount sold, the offering amount, the date, the investors count and how many Form D filings it has made. It costs 2 credits, only when a Form D is on file.

Yes. Its Query API filters 8-Ks by item number in the Lucene query (for example items:"2.02" AND formType:"8-K"), returns each filing's items as strings such as 'Item 3.02: Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities', and returns at most 50 filings per response. Its real-time stream picks up a new 8-K as it is published. The pricing page marks the item APIs for 1.01, 1.02, 1.03, 1.05 and 5.07 'Not included' on Personal & Startups and Business Internal Use, and lists 4.01, 4.02 and 5.02 on the paid plans. 1Lookup's 8-K Event Lookup starts from the company instead: a ticker, a name or a CIK number returns the last 12 months of that company's 8-Ks with the item numbers in plain words, a category and a high-signal flag, for 2 credits only when an 8-K was filed.

The licence follows the plan. Personal & Startups is for personal use, and startups under 5 people may use it internally. Business Internal Use is internal use only, and 'redistribution', multiple API keys and 'products showing the data behind a paywall or a per-seat licence' are listed under Enterprise & Institutions, which is custom-priced. Shares Outstanding and Float is marked 'Not included' on Personal & Startups. 1Lookup's terms license the service and its results for your internal business purposes and do not allow resale or redistribution.

If you need the full tagged contents of filings, sec-api.io is the product built for that. If you have a ticker, a CIK or a name and want the latest annual revenue, profit and balance sheet as a finished summary, 1Lookup's SEC Company Facts bills 2 credits only when annual statements are found, with no plan to size, and Funding Trigger answers the Form D question for one company on the same balance.

On breadth, speed and licence range. It converts every tagged item of every XBRL filing from 2005 to now, including 10-Q, 8-K, 20-F, 40-F and 6-K as well as 10-K, from filers that are still active and those that are not. Its pricing page lists filing search, full-text search and a real-time stream, new filings are available in less than 300 milliseconds, and its Enterprise licence covers redistribution. 1Lookup returns the headline figures of one company's latest year and does not search filings.

If you build on filings, yes: a flat $49 or $199 a month reaches filing search, full-text search and the converted contents of the filings, and the free key lets you try 100 calls first. If all you need is a company's latest annual figures from a ticker or a name, compare the per-company price of 1Lookup with a plan you would size for that one job.
