Where to Find SEC Filing Frequency Data by Company

Daily SEC filing counts per equity, a measure of how actively a company is interacting with EDGAR, from Alphanume.

A burst of SEC filings often precedes something material: an offering, a restructuring, a governance change, or a wave of disclosures around a developing situation. EDGAR is public, but counting filings per company per day and turning that into a usable time series across the whole market is a data-engineering job most traders never get around to.

Alphanume publishes the finished series as the SEC Filing Intensity dataset.

What the dataset is

SEC Filing Intensity provides daily SEC filing counts per equity, a direct measure of how actively a company is interacting with EDGAR. It is refreshed nightly at 11:30 PM EST, cursor-paginated, and ordered by date descending and then ticker ascending. A spike in the count is a simple, quantifiable flag that a company's disclosure activity has picked up.

Fields

• ticker, name, date
• filing_count: the number of SEC filings on that date

What you can do with it

• Detect corporate-activity spikes that can precede material announcements.
• Build event-driven signals on filing bursts.
• Rank a universe by recent filing intensity.
• Backtest filing-burst regimes.

How to access it

SEC Filing Intensity is a Pro-only dataset, so requests require a Pro key (free-tier keys receive a 403 PRO_TIER_REQUIRED response). Query one ticker on one date, or filter on the filing count:

Why filing bursts are worth watching

Filing activity is bursty, and a sudden cluster of filings often precedes something material: an offering, a restructuring, a governance change, or a wave of disclosures around a developing situation. EDGAR is public, but counting filings per company per day across the whole market and turning that into a usable time series is a data-engineering job most desks skip.

Alphanume publishes the finished daily count, refreshed nightly at 11:30 PM EST, cursor-paginated and ordered newest first. A spike in filing_count is a simple, quantifiable flag that a company's disclosure activity has picked up, which you can monitor as an early-warning layer over your universe.
