SEC filings API
The SEC filings API that ranks what matters.
EDGAR gives you documents. QuantConomy gives you the parsed version: Form 4 insider trades fresh to the prior day, 8-K items with materiality scores, 13F holdings, 13D/G ownership, and Form 144 proposed sales — as structured records and ranked, source-linked signals over one REST API.

Beneficial ownership
13D / 13GActivist and passive stakes crossing the 5% line, tied to the asset they touch.
OWNERSHIP

Beyond raw filings
Filings become signals.
A filings feed still leaves the reading to you. Here, filings sit beside real-time news and market data, and the strong ones surface as ranked signals.
Every parsed filing can fire a signal with a type, a direction (very bullish to very bearish), and a strength from 0 to 100.
Cross-signal types such as SMART_MONEY fire when institutional and insider buying converge on one name.
Each record and signal links back to the primary filing on SEC EDGAR, so anything can be verified at the source.
FAQ
SEC filings API, answered.
Which SEC filings does the API cover?
Insider trades (Form 4, alongside Forms 3 and 5), material events (8-K), institutional holdings (13F), beneficial ownership (13D/G), and proposed insider sales (Form 144), each parsed into structured records.
How fresh is the insider-trade data?
Form 4 insider trades are fresh to the prior day. Each record links back to the primary filing on SEC EDGAR.
How is this different from calling EDGAR directly?
EDGAR serves raw documents. This API serves the parsed, structured version — plus ranked signals with a direction and a strength — over versioned REST at api.quantconomy.com/api/v1 with API-key auth and OpenAPI docs.
Are filings scored?
Yes. 8-K items carry materiality scores, and filings can fire ranked signals such as INSIDER_TRADE or SMART_MONEY with a strength from 0 to 100, so you filter by what matters.
Can AI agents query the filings?
Yes. The hosted MCP server at mcp.quantconomy.com/mcp exposes the same SEC datasets, including insider-trade analytics, as read-only tools for Claude, Cursor, or any MCP client.
