It wraps the SEC's public filing search with a simple API, letting you fetch filings by stock ticker or Central Index Key (CIK) and filter by filing type, date range, and recency. The package handles the user-agent requirements mandated by SEC EDGAR's programmatic access policy.\n\nYou provide a company name and email address (used to form a compliant user-agent), then call get() with a filing type (8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, and many others) and a company identifier. The library downloads filings to a local directory, with optional filtering for amended filings, date ranges, and result limits. It depends on requests for HTTP access and pyrate-limiter to respect rate limits.","worth_installing":"Yes. The package is actively maintained, has no known vulnerabilities, installs with minimal friction, and solves a real problem\u2014automating SEC filing retrieval that would otherwise require manual downloads or web scraping. MIT licensing removes legal barriers. Suitable for financial research, compliance automation, and data pipeline work."},"id":"sec-edgar-downloader","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sec-edgar-downloader","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/sec-edgar-downloader.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/sec-edgar-downloader/"},"maintenance":{"status":"active"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2026-02-02","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"sec-edgar-downloader","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Download SEC filings from the EDGAR database using Python"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":210715,"position":9489,"tier":"top_15000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"5.1.0"}
