secapi.ai
The SEC data API designed for agents
200+ generated OpenAPI operations across filings, statements, ownership, governance, factor, and market-data workflows. Faster on the dated investor-agent benchmark suite, with methodology attached. Semantic search powered by Voyage AI finance embeddings. Pay-as-you-go pricing. MCP-native from day one.
The API
One API surface for the SEC data agents actually need.
Entities
Canonical entity resolution
Resolve issuers, filers, managers, insiders, funds, and aliases across ticker, CIK, FIGI, ISIN, and CUSIP without rebuilding identity logic.
Filings & Statements
Structured filing intelligence
Pre-parsed XBRL facts, section extraction, normalized statements, and compact search built for agent workflows.
Semantic Search
Find filings by concept
Hybrid keyword + vector search powered by Voyage AI embeddings (ranked #1 in finance). Discover similar filings across the corpus.
Why secapi.ai
Raw filings are not the product. A grounded, agent-ready API is.
The interesting job is not pulling one filing or generating one answer. It is providing a substrate where source-backed data arrives structured, compact, and ready for downstream agents and workflows.
- Dated benchmark methodology for performance, payload, and agent-workflow claims
- Freshness, provenance, and traceability metadata on every response
- MCP-native: give coding agents direct access without inventing a glue layer
Performance
Fast where agents repeat the same work all day.
The useful benchmark is not whether a system wins every synthetic path. It is whether the system is faster and cleaner on the workflows agents actually repeat: resolve, search, read, compare, trace, and keep the metadata that matters.
