SEC EDGAR filing statistics
The filing record is the market’s public memory.
A production-snapshot view of SEC/EDGAR filing coverage, searchable-manifest depth, form mix, coverage boundaries, and investor workflows. This launch version is based on the secapi.ai archive-depth audit generated from production on April 11, 2026; completed-quarter statistics will be refreshed on July 1, 2026 from the production summary source.
Searchable filing manifests
456,146
Production archive-depth audit generated from filing_manifests on April 11, 2026.
Manifest date range
1993-08-13 to 2026-04-09
Filing-date range in the April 2026 secapi.ai archive-depth artifact.
Core EDGAR full-index entries
3,182,193
10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K rows in edgar_full_index from the same production audit.
Next ledger refresh
July 1, 2026
Quarterly automation will reconcile completed-quarter rows against the production EDGAR summary source.
Searchable filing manifests, 1993-April 2026
Investor work should separate the full EDGAR index from the narrower layers that are searchable, parsed, rendered, or analytics-ready.

Quarterly cadence
Launch snapshot: 456,146 manifests
The checked-in production artifact is a point-in-time searchable-manifest audit, not a live client-side dashboard.
Latest complete year: 10,143 manifests in 2025
Use completed periods for trend work. The 2026 row is partial through April 9.
Core full-index layer: 3,182,193 rows
The production audit includes 2,142,031 8-K, 754,467 10-Q, and 285,695 10-K rows in edgar_full_index.
July 1 refresh: Next completed-quarter update
The quarterly automation will replace this launch status with completed-quarter statistics reconciled from the production EDGAR summary source.
Form mix investors should watch
Form 4
Insider transaction report.
High-volume signal source; transaction codes and context matter.
8-K
Current report for material events.
Often the first filed record of financing, governance, restatement, or strategic events.
10-K
Annual report with audited statements.
Core diligence filing for accounting, risks, MD&A, footnotes, and controls.
10-Q
Quarterly report with interim statements.
Useful for cadence, liquidity, margin, and working-capital changes.
13F-HR
Institutional holdings report.
Delayed ownership signal; report date and filing date must be separated.
SC 13D/G
Beneficial ownership above 5%.
Useful for activist, passive, and control-position monitoring.
Methodology
- Counts are accession-level filing records unless a table says otherwise.
- The annual table is a secapi.ai searchable-manifest snapshot generated from `filing_manifests`, not a full market-wide SEC EDGAR filing count.
- The core EDGAR full-index metric comes from `edgar_full_index` and currently covers 10-K, 10-Q, and 8-K rows in the archive-depth audit.
- EDGAR index coverage is not the same as searchable manifests, rendered filings, extracted sections, XBRL facts, or analytics datasets.
- Completed-quarter statistics are preferred for trend work; incomplete current-quarter data should be labeled provisional.
- CIK/entity counts depend on SEC filer identity and do not map one-to-one to public operating companies.
- The July 1, 2026 refresh should reconcile completed-quarter rows against `/edgar/bulk/summary` or the production database equivalent before the page is updated.
