The SEC accession number (document number) and filing date, the issuer name, CIK (Central Index Key), and ticker symbol, the event date the material event occurred, and the array of Item codes reported (such as 1.01, 2.01, 5.01, 5.02, 8.01, and 9.01).
An 8-K is a current report that discloses a single material event — an acquisition, a bankruptcy, a change in control, or an executive departure — usually within four business days, rather than a period full financial statements. The extractor captures the event Items; for the periodic financials use the 10-K or 10-Q extractor.
The business combination (Item 1.01), the bankruptcy (Item 2.01) and debtor bankruptcy (Item 3.01), the change in control (Item 5.01), the costs associated with exit or disposal activities (Item 5.02, as a number), and the other events (Item 8.01) each come back as their own field.
Yes. The financial statements table returns each statement type, period end date, line item, amount, and currency; the exhibits table returns the exhibit number, description, document type, and filed-herewith flag; and separate signatories and transaction parties tables come back too.
PDF only, up to 10MB and 100 pages. The filing is processed via the Talonic API for extraction, is not retained for training, and is not shared.
The tool reads a single document. The platform reads the whole estate once and keeps it queryable — the same engine, with a memory.
See PDF to Markdown if you run this for data and platform teams, or the extraction API if you are building it in.
