Limits that affect the decision
The SEC explicitly requests efficient scripting and moderation and reserves the right to block excessive traffic; API data is not a blanket guarantee of complete private-company or non-U.S. coverage.; Primarily U.S. SEC-regulated filers and filings in the EDGAR system; it is not a worldwide private-company registry.; Historical EDGAR filings and archives are available, while submissions and extracted XBRL API structures are updated throughout the day; coverage therefore depends on what a filer submitted and when.
Release cadence was not normalized in this review; check the source's dates, update notes, and API limits before comparing periods.
