Federal Sources

Federal Data Enrichment

Beyond state-level business registrations, Filed provides access to three major federal data sources. These can be queried standalone or used to enrich entity lookups via the ?include=federal parameter.

SEC EDGAR

The Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR database contains all public company filings — 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, proxy statements, and more.

• Coverage: All SEC-registered companies
• Data: Filing type, date, period, CIK, SIC code, filing URL
• Search by: Company name, CIK number, SIC code, form type, date range
• Endpoint: /api/v1/sec/search
• Credits: 2 per request

Lobbying Disclosures

Federal lobbying disclosures from the Senate Office of Public Records under the Lobbying Disclosure Act (LDA).

• Coverage: All registered federal lobbyists and their clients
• Data: Client, registrant, income/expenses, issue areas, specific lobbying activities
• Search by: Client name, registrant name, issue code, filing year
• Endpoint: /api/v1/lobbying/search
• Credits: 2 per request

Government Contracts

Federal contract awards from USASpending.gov, covering all government procurement.

• Coverage: All federal contract awards
• Data: Recipient, agency, amount, dates, NAICS/PSC codes, award type
• Search by: Recipient, agency, amount range, NAICS code, date range
• Endpoint: /api/v1/contracts/search
• Credits: 2 per request

Using Federal Enrichment

Add ?include=federal to any entity lookup to automatically cross-reference with all three federal sources:

curl "https://filed.dev/api/v1/entity/NY:1393779?include=federal" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer fd_live_aBcDeFgH"

resp = requests.get(
    "https://filed.dev/api/v1/entity/NY:1393779",
    params={"include": "federal"},
    headers={"Authorization": "Bearer fd_live_aBcDeFgH"}
)

const res = await fetch(
  "https://filed.dev/api/v1/entity/NY:1393779?include=federal",
  { headers: { Authorization: "Bearer fd_live_aBcDeFgH" } }
);

req, _ := http.NewRequest("GET",
  "https://filed.dev/api/v1/entity/NY:1393779?include=federal", nil)
req.Header.Set("Authorization", "Bearer fd_live_aBcDeFgH")
resp, _ := http.DefaultClient.Do(req)

Federal enrichment costs 3 credits total (1 for entity + 2 for federal data).
