Rate Limits
All API keys are assigned a quota of 2 API calls/second. Upon registration, all API keys will have access to the free evaluation plan data and will be limited to 5,000 API calls/day. Responses to API calls are limited to 1,000 rows per call.
All four free evaluation plans provide basic descriptive company metadata as context for the financials, insider trade data and/or institutional ownership. We can increase rate limits for partners on a case-by-case basis. In order to increase the rate limit for a particular application, we need to verify your compliance with our Terms of Service and Branding Guidelines. EDGAR Online will work with developers to establish an appropriate calls/day rate limit based on use case and data entitlements. If you would like to increase your API rate limit, please email us.
