Every day, corporate insiders report their trades and public companies disclose material events to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Those filings are public the moment they land on EDGAR — but they arrive as two decades of accumulated XML and SGML conventions, full of edge cases, and in a shape no modern application wants to consume.

FilingPulse exists to do that unglamorous work once, properly, so software teams don't have to. We poll EDGAR continuously, normalize every filing into one documented JSON schema, and deliver the result through a REST API and signed webhooks. Our customers build the products — portfolio tools, research platforms, alerting services, trading dashboards — and we carry the plumbing underneath them.

What we deliberately don't do

FilingPulse publishes what was filed, exactly as filed. We do not generate trading signals, score filings, predict prices, or offer investment advice of any kind — not in the API, not on this site, not ever. Transaction codes pass through verbatim; interpretation belongs to our customers and their products. This boundary is a founding rule, not a disclaimer.

How the pipeline works

• Collection. EDGAR is polled around the clock within the SEC's published fair-access policy — declared user agent, conservative request rates, and automatic backoff. A separate backfill process extends the historical archive daily.
• Normalization. Every filing is parsed into a frozen schema: values exactly as filed, every field always present, breaking changes never. A regression corpus of real filings — amendments, multi-owner filings, derivative legs, even genuinely empty ones — pins the parser's behavior on every change.
• Delivery. REST endpoints with API keys and per-tier rate limits, and webhook subscriptions signed with per-subscriber HMAC secrets and a fixed retry ladder.
• Operations. Automated monitoring evaluates pipeline freshness and service health every ten minutes, with thresholds that understand EDGAR's filing calendar. Incidents are found by instrumentation, not by customers.

Data sourcing

All source data comes from SEC EDGAR and is public domain. FilingPulse is an independent service — not affiliated with, operated by, or endorsed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Early access

FilingPulse launched in 2026 and is early-stage by design: the dataset deepens daily as the historical backfill advances, all tiers — free and paid — are open at signup, and the changelog is the honest record of what ships and when.
