It lets you search, filter, and download SEC filings, exhibits, and structured financial data programmatically. The library provides multiple specialized APIs: a query interface for searching filings by ticker, CIK, form type, and date; a download API for retrieving individual filings and exhibits; bulk dataset downloaders for complete form-type collections; and specialized extractors for insider trading (Forms 3/4/5), institutional holdings (Form 13F), investment advisor data (Form ADV), and structured material events from 8-K filings. The underlying data covers every SEC-regulated filer ever reported, including delisted and dissolved entities, with historical coverage back to 1993 and real-time updates.\n\nTo use it, you instantiate one of the API classes (QueryApi, DownloadApi, Datasets, etc.) with your sec-api.io API key, then call methods to search or download. The library depends only on requests for HTTP communication. It is intended for financial analysts, researchers, compliance teams, and developers building tools that need programmatic access to SEC filings and structured financial data.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you need programmatic access to SEC EDGAR data and are willing to use the sec-api.io service. The library is actively maintained, has low install friction, carries no security vulnerabilities, and is licensed permissively. The main constraint is that it requires an external API key and service account; it is not a standalone tool. Install it when you are already committed to using sec-api.io or are evaluating whether the service meets your needs."},"id":"sec-api","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sec-api","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sec-api.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sec-api/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-04-13","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sec-api","python_support":"unspecified","summary":"SEC EDGAR Filings API"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":557785,"position":6010,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.0.36"}
