EDGAR Q&A
10 questionsWhat does the EDGAR connector cover?
SEC EDGAR exposes 9 read-only tools across 5 capability areas: company lookup, filings browse/search/fetch/download, full-text filings search, XBRL financial facts, and insider transactions (Form 4). 30+ years of public-company data, no per-query fees.
Do I need an API key for EDGAR?
No. EDGAR is public — no key required, no account needed. The connector sends a canonical Cohesive360 User-Agent automatically.
What kinds of filings can Claude pull?
Everything in EDGAR: 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, Form 4s, proxies, S-1s, registration statements, NT-10K, and the long tail of less-common forms.
What is XBRL and why does it matter?
XBRL is the machine-readable format the SEC mandates. get_company_facts (full dump) + get_concept (single fact across time) let Claude answer financial questions without copying numbers from PDFs.
Can I track insider transactions?
Yes — get_insider_transactions returns Form 4 filings. Useful for tracking insider sentiment, executive compensation events, or material disposition activity.
Can Claude make up a 10-K?
No. The connector refuses generating filing summaries without an EDGAR-grounded source; every figure links back to SEC.gov.
Are there rate limits?
Yes — 10 requests per second per client. The connector queues requests near the cap automatically.
Does the connector cover private companies?
EDGAR is public-company SEC filings only. Private companies that file with state regulators or only file Reg D are out of scope.
Can Claude download the actual PDF of a 10-K?
Yes. download_document returns the primary document for any filing — HTML for modern, PDF for older.
How is EDGAR priced through Cohesive360?
Per seat, per month. EDGAR itself is free; the connector layer is what you pay for.
