SEC API Pricing Use Cases
Sample pricing simulations to help estimate SEC API usage across filing search, extraction, XBRL conversion, and document download workflows.
SEC API Pricing Use Cases
These use cases show how SEC API pricing can be estimated across common workflows, including filing discovery, full-text search, item extraction, XBRL conversion, and document downloads.
Each example is based on a specific scenario to help customers understand data transfer, Usage Credits, Pay As You Go pricing, committed plans, and overages.
These examples are pricing simulations only. Actual usage may vary depending on the number of companies, filings, endpoint used, response size, document size, pagination, retries, and daily usage volume.
Before using these estimates
SEC API pricing is based on data transferred from FinFeedAPI servers to the client.
Data transfer is measured in GB, and Pay As You Go is priced at:
| Usage type | Rate |
|---|---|
| SEC API data transfer | $10 per GB |
Committed plans reduce the effective cost by allowing customers to purchase Usage Credits at a lower price per Credit.

- Estimated transferred data
- Pay As You Go cost estimate
- A comparison across committed usage plans
- Caveats that may affect real-world usage
