Understand EDGAR Application Programming Interfaces (APIs)

EDGAR Next application programming interfaces (APIs) provide, in machine-to-machine connections, a majority of the functions available on the EDGAR Filer Management dashboard, and a secure, efficient and automated method of interacting with EDGAR. 

APIs are optional, and available to filers enrolled in EDGAR Next (or whose Form ID is granted on or after March 24, 2025). 

A variety of APIs are available, including but not limited to: 

• A submission API to allow filers to make both live and test submissions on EDGAR (submission API). 
• A submission status API to allow filers to check the status of an EDGAR submission (submission status API). 
• An operational status API to allow filers to check EDGAR operational status (EDGAR operational status API). 

For detailed information about APIs, see How Do I Create and Manage Filer and User API Tokens, Overview of EDGAR APIs, and the API Development Toolkit.
