## Learn more about U.S. SEC EDGAR API

Identify the company, filing type and period so your agent can retrieve the authoritative filing and the sections relevant to your question.

**Resolve company and filing**

Provide the CIK, ticker and legal name when available, plus form type and filing period. Distinguish original filings from amendments and exhibits.

**How should I research SEC filings accurately?**

Retain accession number, form, filing date and direct SEC source links. Ask the agent to cite the relevant section and distinguish filed facts from its own financial or business interpretation.

**Compare consistent periods and definitions**

For trends, align reporting periods and check restatements, non-GAAP definitions and changed segments. A filing is an authoritative disclosure source, not investment advice.

**Example prompt**

This prompt anchors each finding to an official filing section.

`Use Scrollport's U.S. SEC EDGAR tools to investigate [COMPANY, TICKER OR CIK] for [QUESTION] using [FORM TYPES] filed during [PERIOD]. Retain accession numbers and SEC links, cite relevant sections, distinguish amendments and company disclosures from inference, and show me the price before the paid run.`
