What AI models say

GPT-4o-mini

“While the EDGAR API offers a valuable resource for accessing SEC public financial data and company filings, its inconsistent performance is a major drawback; many queries failed or returned subpar results, and the latency on successful requests was often sluggish, particularly for complex queries involving special characters. Overall, it provides essential functionality for financial analysis, but the reliability and speed need significant improvement to be truly effective for developers.”

Haiku

“EDGAR's a mixed bag—half your requests fail outright and the other half crawl at 1.5+ seconds, which is unacceptable for what should be straightforward database lookups of public filings. The core functionality works when it doesn't timeout or 502, but the reliability isn't there for production use; you need a local mirror or a proper wrapper service.”
