SEC EDGAR Submission Status API API

The Submission Status API provides information from the EDGAR system. It requires a Filer API Token and accession number(s). To obtain information about a submission through the Submission Status API, you must use a Filer API Token that belongs to the CIK that submitted the filing or the CIK that was the filer for the submission. The Submission Status API will only return the detailed information about the filling (like error codes or the filer notification text) once the filing has reached the end of processing signified by the field 'final' being set to true. The statuses of filings are retained for limited amounts of time. The statuses of Accepted TEST filings are retained for two (2) days, Accepted LIVE filings are retained for sixty (60) days, and Suspended filings, regardless of type, are retained for six (6) days.
