SEC API Python SDK

Use SEC API from Python to retrieve SEC filings, company data, financial statements, ownership data, and more.

Install

pip install secapi-client

Make a request

Create an API key in the SEC API dashboard, then keep it in an environment variable. Do not place API keys in source code or commit them to a repository.

export SECAPI_API_KEY="secapi_live_..."

import os

from secapi_client import SecApiClient

client = SecApiClient(api_key=os.environ["SECAPI_API_KEY"])
filing = client.latest_filing(ticker="AAPL", form="10-K")

print(filing["accessionNumber"])

This requests the most recent Apple 10-K and prints its filing accession number, such as 0000320193-25-000079. The full filing value is a Python dictionary with the filing metadata you can use to retrieve a section or continue with another SEC API workflow.
