SecuritiesExchangeCommission.Edgar 2.0.0

Place this at the top of your code file to import the necessary components from the namespace:

using SecuritiesExchangeCommission.Edgar;

Search the EDGAR database

The 'EdgarSearch' class is the component used to query the EDGAR database. Use the following static method to search the database:

EdgarSearch es = await EdgarSearch.CreateAsync("MSFT");

The code above queries the SEC EDGAR database for the latest filings. You optionally can specify the filing type, the time before (only return results that occurred before that date), the ownership filter, and the number of results to be returned. This is seen below:

EdgarSearch es = await EdgarSearch.CreateAsync("MSFT", "10-K", DateTime.Parse("1/1/2018"), EdgarSearchOwnershipFilter.include, EdgarSearchResultsPerPage.Entries10);

Using the results

The results of the search will exist as an array of 'EdgarSearchResults' classes in the 'EdgarSearch' class that we created above. Each 'EdgarSearchResults' object contains details about that filing such as the filing description, filing type (i.e. "10-K"), URL to the documents page, URL to the interactive data of the filing, and the date of the filing. For filings that are 10-K's or 10-Q's (annual and quarterly financial reports, respectively) you can also use the 'DownoadXbrlDocumentAsync' asynchronous method to download the associated XBRL document from the filing as a Stream.

EdgarSearchResult filing = es.Results[0];
Stream s = await filing.DownloadXbrlDocumentAsync();
