EDGAR full-text search

General-purpose full-text search across every SEC filing since 2001. Send GET /api/edgar-search with the required field q and pay $0.005 per call over x402 or MPP (there is no free tier). It returns a JSON object with q, forms, windowDays, total, returned and 1 more.

Find any phrase in any filing - material-weakness language in 10-Ks, going-concern in 10-Qs, "Russia" exposure across all forms. Supports form-type, CIK, US-state, and date-window filters. Source: EDGAR full-text search (efts.sec.gov). ?q=going+concern&forms=10-Q&days=30

Parameters

Example request

curl -i "https://agent402.tools/api/edgar-search?q=going+concern&forms=10-Q&days=90&limit=5"

Without payment this returns HTTP 402 Payment Required with the exact price for edgar-search; any x402 v2 or MPP client pays it and retries.

The hosted connector at https://agent402.tools/mcp needs a payment for edgar-search; the stdio package pays it from a wallet or from AGENT402_CREDITS_KEY. Local install: npx -y agent402-mcp.

Errors and behavior

• q is required. An input the tool rejects returns an HTTP 4xx whose body carries error, tool, expected, required and example, so the caller can correct it.
• A paid call that ends in any status of 400 or above is not charged over x402, MPP or a prepaid credits key: settlement is cancelled when the tool fails. The exception is a Tempo push credential, a transfer the buyer sent before the call: it settles before the tool runs, so if the tool then fails the payment is recorded as a refund owed to the paying wallet.
• Wallet-only: this tool reaches the network or stored state, so it has no proof-of-work tier. A prepaid card-credits key issued earlier (Authorization: Bearer a402_...) also pays it.
• A POST with a JSON body to /api/edgar-search is served as this GET, with the body as the input.
• An Idempotency-Key header makes a retried paid call replay the first 200 instead of charging again (an answer larger than 1 MB is not replayed).

Paid call (JavaScript agent)

import { wrapFetchWithPayment } from "@x402/fetch";
import { x402Client } from "@x402/core/client";
import { registerExactEvmScheme } from "@x402/evm/exact/client";
import { privateKeyToAccount } from "viem/accounts";

const client = new x402Client();
client.setSpendControls?.(false); // keep your own spending ceiling in code
registerExactEvmScheme(client, { signer: privateKeyToAccount(KEY) });
const payFetch = wrapFetchWithPayment(fetch, client);

const res = await payFetch("https://agent402.tools/api/edgar-search?q=going+concern&forms=10-Q&days=90&limit=5");

Part of these workflows

EDGAR full-text search is one step in these 2 skill packs, each sold as a single call:

• SEC filings deep-dive - Pull the full EDGAR picture of a US public company in one workflow: recent filings, key financial time series, insider trades, and full-text search across the corpus.
• SEC regulatory monitoring - The 'who just filed / who just bought / what just IPO'd / what does the full-text search say' monitoring loop. Five EDGAR tools composed: full-text search for a keyword, surface recent filings on the matched companies, pull insider Form 4 transactions, pull 13F institutional holdings changes, and check the IPO calendar. Different from sec-filings-deep-dive (which goes deep on one company's earnings) - this is the wide-and-recent radar.
