Automate SEC EDGAR

Turn the repetitive SEC EDGAR work you do by hand (search filings, open a filing) into a workflow Writ runs for you, on your own account, on a schedule or on demand.

why

Stop doing SEC EDGAR by hand

The SEC EDGAR tasks you repeat (search filings, open a filing, extract fields) are exactly the kind of work a computer should do. But SEC EDGAR only exposes part of it through an API, and the flow runs behind a login and dynamic pages. EDGAR offers data APIs, but full-text filing search and rendered documents are often read in the browser for context.

Writ closes that gap. Record the SEC EDGAR task once (or describe it to an AI session) and Writ runs it for you in a real browser, on your own account. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.

SEC EDGAR tasks Writ can run for you

Each of these is a real SEC EDGAR action, captured into a workflow and run on your own account.

{ }search filings
{ }open a filing
{ }extract fields
{ }export results

Workflows extract structured fields such as filing type, filer name, filing date, accession number along the way: typed data you can route anywhere.

Three ways to build your SEC EDGAR automation

Pick whichever fits the task. All three produce the same workflow Writ can run for you.

✦Record itDo the SEC EDGAR task once in a real browser (search filings, then open a filing) and the recorder captures every step into a reusable workflow.
✦Describe it to AITell an AI session your goal on SEC EDGAR in plain language; it drives the live page and builds the workflow for you, no recording needed.
✦Discover itLet API discovery watch SEC EDGAR's own network calls as you browse, then turn the underlying requests into a fast, headless workflow.

Built on the same engine as the recorder and workflows, with 30+ step types.

Login, 2FA, and dynamic pages on SEC EDGAR

The reason SEC EDGAR is tedious to automate is the same reason most tools can't. Writ handles it.

EDGAR pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture filing index and document fields cleanly.

when it runs

Run the SEC EDGAR automation on your terms

On a schedule, on demand, or the instant something changes. You choose the trigger.

✦On a scheduleRun the SEC EDGAR task every hour, every morning, or any cadence. No one has to remember to do it.
✦On demandTrigger a single run from the dashboard, a webhook, your code, or an AI agent, whenever you need it.
✦On a changeWatch SEC EDGAR for new filing for a company or new filing of a type and fire the automation the instant it happens.
  1. 1
    Build the SEC EDGAR workflow once

    Record the task, describe it to AI, or discover it from the network. Writ captures each step, including login and 2FA, into a workflow you can edit.

  2. 2
    Run it on your terms

    Run it on demand, on a schedule, or fire it from a Monitor when SEC EDGAR changes. It runs on your own SEC EDGAR account, in a real browser.

  3. 3
    Call it from anything

    The same workflow is a REST endpoint at /v1/sec-edgar/run and an MCP tool, so your code, a no-code tool, or an AI agent can trigger the SEC EDGAR automation too.

Trigger the SEC EDGAR automation on a change

Monitor SEC EDGAR for new filing for a company, new filing of a type, filing-date update and run your workflow the moment it happens.

Monitors check as fast as every 10s (10s on Enterprise). A detected change becomes a trigger that runs your SEC EDGAR automation in seconds. Monitor SEC EDGAR ▸

The same SEC EDGAR automation is an API and an MCP tool

Automating SEC EDGAR for yourself and calling it from software are the same workflow. Once you have it, publish it as a REST endpoint at/v1/sec-edgar/run and a matching MCP tool, so your code or an AI agent can trigger the SEC EDGAR task too.

Automating SEC EDGAR: questions

How do I automate SEC EDGAR?
Record the SEC EDGAR task once in the recorder (search filings, open a filing, extract fields) or describe your goal to an AI session. Writ turns it into a workflow it can run for you on a schedule or on demand, on your own SEC EDGAR account. It usually takes minutes, not a backend project.
Is it allowed to automate SEC EDGAR this way?
EDGAR data is public; respect SEC fair-access rate limits and identify your traffic per their guidance. Writ runs on your own accounts, with your own credentials and data, on sites you are authorized to use.
Does SEC EDGAR automation work behind login and 2FA?
EDGAR pages are public; Writ renders them in real Chromium to capture filing index and document fields cleanly. Writ handles TOTP and mailbox-OTP two-factor through Personas, so the automation runs inside your own authenticated SEC EDGAR session.
Can I run the SEC EDGAR automation without writing code?
Yes. Recording and AI sessions need no code at all. If you do want to trigger it from software, the same workflow is a REST endpoint and an MCP tool, but that is optional.
Where does it run, and what does it cost?
Run it on your own machine with a local or BYO agent for no compute charge, useful when SEC EDGAR is only reachable from your network or VPN. Or run it on metered cloud at $0.12 per browser-hour, drawn from your plan’s included usage. Start free.
