Caveats

Requests must carry a User-Agent naming the organisation and a contact email. This is a condition of access, not a courtesy, and the platform refuses to collect without it.
Sustained traffic above 10 requests per second results in the IP being blocked.
Filer-submitted content is self-reported. The SEC does not verify it, so the platform records what was filed rather than what is true.
