How to

How do I get only one company's filings?

Add cik.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SECFEED_KEY" \
  "https://secfeedapi.com/v1/form-8k/executive-changes?cik=320193&size=2"

How do I make responses faster?

Set text=false to skip text extraction.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SECFEED_KEY" \
  "https://secfeedapi.com/v1/form-8k/executive-changes?text=false&size=2"

How do I limit to a date range?

Use startDate and endDate on the filing date.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SECFEED_KEY" \
  "https://secfeedapi.com/v1/form-8k/executive-changes?startDate=2026-01-01&text=false&size=1"

How do I page?

Use from with size.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SECFEED_KEY" \
  "https://secfeedapi.com/v1/form-8k/executive-changes?size=1&from=5&text=false"

Can I use the general 8-K endpoint instead?

Yes, /v1/form-8k?item=5.02 returns the same filings; add text=true for the text.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SECFEED_KEY" \
  "https://secfeedapi.com/v1/form-8k?item=5.02&size=2"

Why is text empty for some filings?

Some filings put the item in an exhibit or use unusual formatting; textError says what happened.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SECFEED_KEY" \
  "https://secfeedapi.com/v1/form-8k/executive-changes?size=2"

How far back does the feed go?

Currently mid 2024, with the backfill running back to 2004.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SECFEED_KEY" \
  "https://secfeedapi.com/v1/form-8k/executive-changes?text=false&size=1"

How do I see the other items in the same 8-K?

items lists every item the filing reports, for example 9.01 for exhibits.

curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $SECFEED_KEY" \
  "https://secfeedapi.com/v1/form-8k/executive-changes?size=2"
