    EDGAR contains every SEC-registered filing since 1993. It is the authoritative source for US public-company disclosures — financials, executive compensation, insider trading, material events, and beneficial ownership above 5%. Private US companies do not file with EDGAR.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do I search EDGAR for company filings?

    Use sec.gov/edgar/search for full-text search across every filing, or sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar for a company-specific filing history. Both are free and require no account.

    Is EDGAR free to use?

    Yes. Every filing on EDGAR is free — including bulk downloads via the EDGAR full-index and machine-readable RSS feeds. There is no API key and rate limits are generous.

    What is a CIK number?

    The Central Index Key is EDGAR's unique 10-digit identifier for every filer. It is more reliable than the company name (which can change) for cross-referencing filings across time.
