What sec-api.io (BYOK) is for

sec-api.io (BYOK) lets an AI assistant read your own sec-api.io data through the sec-api.io API with a key you supply (sec-api.io API key (paste it as is)). Read-only: 7 tools (search_filings, full_text_search, search_insider_trades, search_13f_holdings, search_13d_13g, get_shares_and_float, search_edgar_entities). The BYOK key travels with each request, is used for that one call only and is never stored, logged or cached; it is only ever sent to api.sec-api.io. Unofficial connector by Unify Dynamics LLC: not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by sec-api.io. sec-api.io and its logos are trademarks of their owners and are used only to say which service the connector works with.

Ask your assistant things like:

• "Show Apple's latest 10-K filings"
• "Which filings in early 2024 mention "substantial doubt"?"
• "What insider transactions did Tesla insiders report recently?"
• "What did the fund with CIK 1633901 hold in its latest 13F?"
• "Which 13D filings disclosed stakes of 10 percent or more recently?"
• "How many shares of Alphabet are outstanding?"

What it does

• search_filings: Search the metadata of EDGAR filings with a Lucene query such as formType:"10-K" AND ticker:AAPL, newest first.
• full_text_search: Search the full text of EDGAR filings and exhibits since 2001 for a word or exact phrase, with an optional date range. 100 results per page.
• search_insider_trades: Search insider ownership filings (Forms 3, 4 and 5) by Lucene query, for example issuer.tradingSymbol:TSLA, with owner, role and transactions.
• search_13f_holdings: Search Form 13F institutional portfolio filings by Lucene query such as cik:1633901, returning each filing with its list of holdings.
• search_13d_13g: Search Schedule 13D and 13G filings about large (5 percent and above) stakes by Lucene query, with filers, issuer and owners.
• get_shares_and_float: Get a company's reported outstanding shares per class and public float over time, by ticker or by CIK (give one of them).
• search_edgar_entities: Search EDGAR filer entities by Lucene query, for example cik:1318605, returning name, SIC industry, state of incorporation and filer category.

BYOK key

You bring your own sec-api.io sec-api.io API key (paste it as is) (https://sec-api.io/signup/free). Your assistant sends it in the X-Upstream-Key header with each request. ConnectorBay uses it for that one call only: it is never stored, logged or cached, never shown in an answer, and it is only sent to api.sec-api.io over https, with no redirects followed. Create a key with the fewest permissions the tools need (read-only if the provider offers it), and revoke it at the provider whenever you like.

Data sources

sec-api.io (BYOK) — Privacy Policy

Effective 24 October 2026. Unify Dynamics LLC ("we", "us"), Menlo Park, California.

What sec-api.io (BYOK) is. sec-api.io (BYOK) is a connector (an MCP server and REST API) that an AI assistant calls on your behalf to read your own sec-api.io data: Search SEC EDGAR filings, full text, insider trades, 13F holdings, 13D/13G stakes, entities and share float from sec-api.io with your own API key. You bring your own sec-api.io sec-api.io API key (paste it as is); the assistant sends it to us with each request.

BYOK key. The key you supply is used to make the one sec-api.io call you asked for. Our application does not store it, write it to a log, put it in a cache, or share it. It is sent only to api.sec-api.io, over https, and is removed from any text we return to you or your assistant. We do not follow redirects with your key. If sec-api.io rejects it, we say so without repeating it.

What we receive. The arguments of each tool call, the BYOK key (for that call only), the technical headers needed to serve the request (an IP address or a client identifier supplied by the assistant) and standard server logs. What sec-api.io receives. The request we make on your behalf, including the key and the arguments, under sec-api.io's own terms and privacy policy. sec-api.io acts at your direction and is the only recipient of the data of your request besides our hosting provider.

What we return. The answer sec-api.io gives for your request, trimmed to the fields the tool documents. We do not keep it: it is returned to your assistant and not stored, cached or used to train anything.

What we do not do. We do not build a profile, sell or share personal information, or keep your sec-api.io data. Rate-limit counters (a client identifier and timestamps) are held in memory for at most 24 hours. Hosting access logs (IP addresses, request paths and status codes) are kept for up to 30 days for security and abuse prevention; our application adds no request headers or bodies to them.

Sub-processors. sec-api.io (the API you call with a BYOK key, at your direction). Hosting: Vercel (United States regions).

Your rights. Because we store no personal data beyond short-lived logs, requests to access, correct or delete data are usually satisfied automatically; you can still contact agent@connectorbay.com and we will respond within 30 days. Revoke your key at sec-api.io at any time to end all access.

Children. sec-api.io (BYOK) is a general-audience service operated by the adult using the assistant, under sec-api.io's own age rules.

Changes. We will post changes here with a new effective date.
