Start from the SEC EDGAR stream
Open the Synoptic SEC EDGAR stream and inspect its current description, available content and access conditions. A general filings stream still needs a registration-based research process to distinguish an IPO from a follow-on or other registration.
Connect the workflow
The REST reference documents stream metadata, posts and retrieval interfaces. The MCP guide explains research access for connected AI clients and the scopes that control it. Review your account’s content access before building an integration.
For each candidate, resolve the CIK, original filing URL, accession and registration number. Match it to a curated issuer, retrieve the source and compare it with the previous selected document. Preserve the human-reviewed status separately from discovery time.
Questions to settle before production
- Does the accessible stream cover the relevant forms and issuers?
- What history, timestamps, latency and retrieval limits apply to your access?
- How will your system handle duplicates, missing records and changed registrations?
- Which claims need original-document review before they enter an alert or client report?
