Extract individual sections from SEC filings through the FinFeedAPI SEC Filings API. Instead of retrieving an entire filing, applications can request a specific filing item using its accession number and item identifier. This makes it possible to access only the portion of a filing needed for downstream processing, reducing document size and eliminating unnecessary parsing.
Returned content is available as either plain text or HTML, allowing applications to integrate filing sections into search systems, AI pipelines, compliance tools, and financial analysis workflows.
SEC filings are organized into standardized sections that cover specific disclosures, such as material agreements, business operations, risk factors, financial information, or management discussion.
The Item-Level Filing Sections endpoint retrieves only the requested section from a supported SEC filing. Rather than processing the complete document, applications specify an accession number together with an item number and receive the corresponding section as structured text or HTML.
The endpoint supports item extraction for supported SEC filing types including 8-K, 10-K, and 10-Q, using the item numbering conventions appropriate for each form.
Many workflows focus on a single disclosure rather than an entire SEC filing.
Applications first identify the filing they want to process, then provide the filing accession number together with the required item identifier. The API returns only the requested section in the selected output format.
Item identifiers follow the structure of the underlying SEC form. Individual filing sections can be returned in either plain text or HTML.
| SEC Form | Example Item Numbers |
|---|---|
| 8-K | 1.01, 2.01, 7.01 |
| 10-K | 1, 2, 3 |
| 10-Q | PartI 1, PartII 2 |
For best results, the requested item number should match the structure used by the original filing.
| Format | Typical Use Cases |
|---|---|
| Plain text | AI pipelines, NLP, search indexing, analytics |
| HTML | Web applications, document rendering, preserving formatting |
Applications can choose the format that best fits their processing workflow.
A typical request specifies the filing accession number together with the desired item number and output format. The API returns only the requested filing section as either structured text or HTML.
GET /v1/extractor/item?accession_number=0000320193-25-000073&item_number=1.01&type=textItem-level extraction enables applications to retrieve only the disclosures they need. Applications commonly discover filings through filing metadata or full-text search, retrieve the accession number, and then extract only the relevant filing item.
This approach reduces processing requirements while providing structured content for downstream systems.
Retrieving individual filing sections simplifies many regulatory data workflows by avoiding unnecessary processing of complete filing documents.
