What is SEC EDGAR?
EDGAR is the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system — the official database where U.S. public companies file their disclosures.
The SEC's official filing database
EDGAR stands for Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval. It's the system the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission uses to collect, store and publish the disclosure documents that public companies are required to file.
What's in it
Practically everything a U.S. public company discloses flows through EDGAR — annual reports (10-K), quarterly reports (10-Q), material-event reports (8-K), foreign-issuer reports (20-F and 6-K), insider transactions, and more. It has been the SEC's official filing channel since the 1990s and is free for anyone to access.
Why it can be hard to use directly
EDGAR is authoritative but built for compliance, not for reading. Filings appear as raw documents with cryptic form codes, there are no charts, and finding a company means knowing its identifiers. That gap is exactly why FiledFeed exists.
How FiledFeed uses it
FiledFeed reads EDGAR's public feeds and filings directly — 100% of our filing data comes from EDGAR, with no third-party data resellers in between. We watch its real-time dissemination feed, parse the structured XBRL inside filings, and present clean numbers and charts. Every filing page links back to the original on EDGAR so you can verify the source yourself.
