Overview
Researched from the vendor's own pages; every fact links to its source and the day we checked it.
The US Securities and Exchange Commission hosts RESTful JSON APIs on data.sec.gov: each filer's submission history by CIK and extracted XBRL data from financial statements (10-Q, 10-K, 8-K, 20-F, 40-F and more) via company-concept, company-facts and frames endpoints. No authentication or API key; fair-access guidelines cap each user at 10 requests per second. Nightly bulk ZIP files.

The vendor's OpenAPI document as stored in the catalog, its operations, and the rate limits it publishes.
Rebuilt from the vendor's public docs, only what the pages show. Each operation links the page it came from; response shapes the docs don't spell out are left empty rather than guessed.
