Creating Your User-Agent

SEC EDGAR requires all API requests to include a User-Agent header identifying your organization. You create this value yourself — it is not issued by the SEC.

1

Format your User-Agent string

Combine your company or application name with a valid admin contact email address, separated by a space.

  • Format: CompanyName email@company.com
  • Example: Acme Corp admin@acme.com
  • The SEC uses this to identify your requests and apply per-caller rate limits (10 req/sec)
  • A missing or generic value (e.g. a shared address) may cause your requests to be throttled or blocked
