edgar.tools — SEC filings as a real-time event stream
If you've used the edgartools Python library, you already know it makes EDGAR data accessible. edgar.tools is the always-on platform built on top of it.
The library is for "I want this filing, now." The platform is for "tell me the moment this filing happens — and what it means."
Two front doors
For humans. A live feed of every SEC filing as it hits EDGAR. Click into any filing for the documents, financials, people, and an AI briefing — all in one place. No signup required to watch.
For agents and tools. A REST API, webhooks, and a hosted MCP server. Wire edgar.tools into Claude, into a trading system, into a research notebook. Every filing becomes a triggerable event.
What it does
Sentinels. Tell edgar.tools what you care about — tickers, sectors, form types, custom criteria. It watches the firehose so you don't have to. New 8-K from a portfolio company? Form 4 from a CEO you track? A 424B from a competitor raising? You get pinged the moment it hits.
AI Briefings. Every material filing gets a structured summary: what happened, what's material, what's new vs. last quarter. Read in thirty seconds what would take thirty minutes to skim.
Webhooks. Filings arrive in your Slack, your system, your Zapier flow, your inbox. Every payload is HMAC-signed so you trust what shows up.
Screens. Run a saved query across the entire EDGAR corpus. Pull every 424B from biotech this quarter. Every 13F that opened a new position in Nvidia. Save it, share it, re-run it.
MCP server. Plug edgar.tools directly into Claude or any MCP-aware agent. Ask "what 8-Ks did Apple file last quarter" and get structured filings back. No glue code.
How it fits with the library
You can use both. Run the library locally for notebooks and batch jobs. Use the platform for monitoring and event-driven workflows. Same data model, same accession numbers, same primitives.
The platform's free tier gives you the live feed, search, and read access to most filings. Paid tiers unlock Sentinels, Briefings, webhooks, the MCP server, and higher rate limits.
