EDGAR full-text search

General-purpose full-text search across every SEC filing since 2001. 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

The response is HTTP 402 Payment Required with exact payment requirements. Any x402 v2 client pays automatically and retries:

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();
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

This tool is one step in 2 curated multi-tool workflows - agents can fetch the whole sequence as an MCP prompt or call https://agent402.tools/api/skill-packs/{slug}/prompt.

• 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.
