Install Jentic One Beta
Jentic One is a self-hosted execution layer for AI agents. It lets your agent call the EDGAR API, or any other public or private API you need. You set the rules, the agent never sees your credentials, and every call is logged.
Two steps, two machines. Install the instance in a safe environment, then register your agent from wherever it runs.
Step 1: Jentic One Host machine
# On the machine that will host your Jentic One instance:
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fsec.gov%2Fsec-gov" | shStep 2: Agent machine
# On the machine where your agent runs (keep this separate from the instance):
curl -fsSL "https://jentic.com/install.sh?src=apis&api=%2Fapis%2Fsec.gov%2Fsec-gov" | sh
jentic register # connects your agent to your Jentic One instanceJentic One is in public beta. The setup above keeps your agent separate from the instance, which is what you want before using real credentials: an agent running as the same OS user as Jentic One can read its stored keys directly. Just evaluating? A single local install is fine to start. See the secure deployment guide for the tiers.
What an agent can do with EDGAR API.
View filer account information
Generate CCC
Create custom CCC
Request delegation invitations
Send delegation invitations
GET STARTED
Add individuals
Patterns agents use EDGAR API for, with concrete tasks.
★ Developer Tools Operations
Use the EDGAR API to perform developer tools operations programmatically. The API provides 18 endpoints covering core functionality including view filer account information, generate ccc, create custom ccc.
Call GET /fm/{cik} to view filer account information
Automated EDGAR Operational Status API Management
Automate edgar operational status API operations by combining multiple EDGAR API endpoints. Agents can generate ccc and then create custom ccc in a single workflow.
Call POST /fm/{cik}/ccc to generate ccc, then verify the result
AI Agent Integration via Jentic
AI agents discover and call EDGAR API endpoints through Jentic without managing credentials directly. An agent searches for the required operation by intent, receives the matching endpoint schema, and executes the call with Jentic-managed authentication. This eliminates the need to read API documentation or handle bearer tokens manually.
Search Jentic for 'view filer account information', load the operation schema, and execute with Jentic-managed credentials

What agents get from Jentic-routed access to this vendor.
Setup
Wiring the EDGAR API by hand means obtaining its filer and user bearer tokens, working through its filer-management request shapes, and managing delegations and CCC calls yourself. Through Jentic you install once, import EDGAR from the API Directory, store the token once, and your agent calls it.
Permission scoping
EDGAR puts the filer CIK in the URL path (/fm/{cik}/...), so a rule can pin your agent to one filer: it can read that filer's account and individuals and nothing else. You choose the operations it may call, so writes like rotating the CCC or creating delegation requests are not included unless you add them.
Credential isolation
Your EDGAR token is stored once, encrypted, by your own Jentic One instance and injected at execution time. It never enters the agent's prompt, logs, or context.
Intent-based discovery
Agents search Jentic by intent such as 'view filer account information' or 'list a filer's delegations', and Jentic returns the matching EDGAR operation with its input schema so the agent calls the right endpoint without browsing the reference docs.
Alternatives and complements available in the Jentic catalogue.
Specific to using EDGAR API through Jentic.
What authentication does the EDGAR API use?
The EDGAR API uses a Bearer token in the Authorization header. Through Jentic, these credentials are stored encrypted in your Jentic One instance and injected at execution time, so raw secrets never enter the agent context.
Can I view filer account information with the EDGAR API?
Yes. Use the GET /fm/{cik} endpoint. The API returns structured JSON responses that agents can parse and act on directly.
What are the rate limits for the EDGAR API?
Rate limits are not specified in the OpenAPI spec. Check the vendor documentation for current limits. Through Jentic, rate limiting is handled automatically with retry logic built into the execution layer.
How do I view filer account information through Jentic?
Install the Jentic SDK with pip install jentic, authenticate through Jentic One, the self-hosted execution layer, then search for 'view filer account information'. Jentic returns the matching EDGAR API operation with its input schema. Load the schema and execute the call - credentials are injected automatically.
How many endpoints does the EDGAR API have?
The EDGAR API exposes 18 endpoints covering edgar operational status API, filer management API, submission API operations.
Can I limit what my agent is allowed to do with the EDGAR API?
Yes. Because you run Jentic One yourself, your own rules decide which EDGAR operations and credentials the agent may use, and since EDGAR puts the filer CIK in the URL path (/fm/{cik}/...) a rule can pin the agent to a single filer. You can allow read-only calls like GET /fm/{cik} to view account information and GET /fm/{cik}/individuals while leaving out write operations such as POST /fm/{cik}/ccc to rotate the CCC or POST /fm/{cik}/delegationRequests. The agent can only call the operations you explicitly grant, and its bearer token is injected at execution time rather than exposed to the model.
For Agents
Programmatically view filer account information, generate ccc. Covers 18 operations with bearer authentication.
Use for: I need to view filer account information, I want to generate ccc, Search for custom ccc, Find all request delegation invitations
Not supported: Does not handle payments, communications, or crm - use for developer tools only.
sec.gov/main version 1.11.0. The API exposes 18 endpoints secured with bearer authentication.
