How to monitor SEC EDGAR filings

Watch a company's filing list for a new 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, or other submission.

A narrowly selected filing table can provide a clean signal when a company publishes a new disclosure.

01

Start with the right page

Open the company's official filings page and apply a form-type filter first if you only care about one kind of filing.

02

Select the signal, not the noise

Select the recent-filings table with form type, filing date, and document description. Exclude page navigation and company metadata that changes independently.

In the page-area picker, keep the smallest section that still contains enough context to understand the alert.

03

Tune the alert

Schedule

Check several times during filing days if timing matters; otherwise, daily monitoring is generally sufficient.

Keyword filter

Try “8-K” only if you want alerts limited to changed elements containing that phrase. Learn how keyword monitoring works.

Delivery

Start with email. Connect Zapier or IFTTT when the alert needs to enter another workflow.

04

Preview, save, and refine

Check that Preview contains the information you expect, then save the monitor. If the first alerts include unrelated content, edit the monitor and make the selected area smaller.

Good to know

For investment or compliance decisions, read the filing on SEC.gov and use official SEC alerts where required. Urlooker is not a financial data feed.
