curl "https://api.edgar.tools/v1/live/filings?form=8-K&limit=50" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer etk_your_key_here"

# Poll for new filings using latest_timestamp from the previous response
curl "https://api.edgar.tools/v1/live/filings?since=2024-12-10T15:30:00Z" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer etk_your_key_here"

Coming soon

A unified /v1/filings timeline that merges the live 48-hour cache with the full historical SEC index is on the roadmap. Until then, use /v1/live/filings for the recent window and /v1/companies/{cik}/filings for a company's full history. See Search & Browse for the company endpoint.
