Use this when
- What industry, state of incorporation and EIN does the SEC hold for this ticker?
- You have a stock ticker or a CIK and need the registered profile of the US public company behind it.
- What industry (SIC code) is this SEC filer in?
- Which exchanges and tickers does this filer trade under?
- You are running KYB on a US listed counterparty and need registry-sourced identifiers.
- Has this company filed under a former name?
Don't use this when
- You need to know whether the filer is still submitting periodic reports — check the filing dates with company.us.filings.latest; EDGAR publishes no reporting-status field.
- You have a company name rather than a ticker or CIK — this capability matches tickers exactly and never names; use company.us.resolve first.
- You need the filing list — use company.us.filings.
- You need the newest 10-K/10-Q/8-K — use company.us.filings.latest.
- The company is UK registered — use company.uk.profile.
- You need a global legal entity identifier record — use entity.lei.search or entity.lei.profile.
If the user has asked you to inspect a specific website, page or URL, use your browsing tool instead — this capability only returns the SEC EDGAR record.
Input
SEC CIK or exchange ticker symbol. All digits is read as a CIK (leading zeros and an EDGAR CIK prefix are both accepted: 320193, 0000320193, CIK0000320193); anything else is read as a ticker (1-10 characters starting with a letter) and matched exactly, case-insensitively, against the SEC listed-security index — AAPL, aapl and BRK-B all work. Company names are not accepted: resolve one with company.us.resolve. A ticker with no SEC index entry returns NOT_FOUND, which is not a billable result.
What the result means
SEC Central Index Key, zero-padded to 10 digits. This is the resolved identifier — the one to reuse for company.us.filings and company.us.filings.latest.
Current filer name on EDGAR.
The request as interpreted. The resolved CIK is data.cik.
EDGAR entity classification (e.g. operating), or null when EDGAR states none.
Standard Industrial Classification code assigned by the SEC, or null when unassigned.
SEC description of the SIC code (e.g. Electronic Computers).
