SEC EDGAR

Filings, insiders, holdings, financials

SEC Filings

Daily

10-K, 10-Q, 8-K and other filings — type, date, period of report, and direct document URL.

The primary record. Every disclosure event a company is required to make starts here.

GET/v1/sec/filings/{symbol}

Insider Trades

Daily

Form 4 transactions: who at the company bought or sold, share count, price, transaction code.

The single most studied predictive signal in academic finance. Open-market CEO buys are non-trivial.

GET/v1/sec/insider-trades/{symbol}

Institutional Holdings

Quarterly

13-F filings: fund name, position size, market value, period.

Track which institutions are accumulating or rotating out of a name.

GET/v1/sec/institutional/{symbol}

XBRL Financials

Daily

As-reported Revenue, NetIncome, EPS, TotalAssets and more from structured 10-K/10-Q filings.

Not analyst estimates and not scraped — primary source data straight from the filing.

GET/v1/sec/financials/{symbol}
Alternative data

Positioning, weather, attention, patents, regs, congress

CFTC Commitments of Traders

Daily

Long/short positioning by trader category — commercial, non-commercial, open interest — for tracked futures contracts.

Shows what hedgers think versus speculators. The spread is a contrarian signal in commodities and rates.

GET/v1/alt/cftc/positions/{code}

FEMA Disaster Declarations

Daily

Federally declared hurricanes, floods, wildfires, severe storms by event type, state, and date.

Disasters move oil, natural gas, insurance, homebuilders. The data is available before it's fully priced in.

GET/v1/alt/weather/events

Wikipedia Attention

Daily

Daily pageview counts for the company's Wikipedia article — raw counts, no smoothing.

Moat et al. (2013): pageview spikes correlate with next-day volume and volatility.

GET/v1/alt/wiki/{symbol}

USPTO Patents

Daily

Patent grants by company assignee — title, grant date, claims count.

Patent velocity is a forward-looking R&D indicator. Acceleration matters more than absolute count.

GET/v1/alt/patents/{symbol}

Federal Register

Daily

Rules and proposed rules from the SEC, FDA, EPA, FTC and other federal agencies.

When a regulator proposes a rule on crypto custody or fast-track drug review, sectors move. This is the source of record.

GET/v1/alt/regulations

Congressional Trades

Daily

House and Senate member trade disclosures filed under the STOCK Act.

Multiple academic studies show congressional portfolios outperform the market. Disclosures are public records.

GET/v1/alt/congress/trades
Macro

Curated FRED indicators

FRED Macro Indicators

Daily

Treasury yields, CPI, GDP, unemployment, payrolls — curated time series for the indicators traders actually watch.

Best-in-class macro source. We track the high-signal series so you don't have to curate them.

GET/v1/macro/series/{code}
News

Articles and sentiment
