We've recently rolled out a number of changes to filings.xbrl.org,
including some important changes to the API:
1. The API now includes a "published" field which is the date at which
the authority received or published the filing, where available. Not all
sources have this, and the exact meaning may vary between different sources.
2. We recently automated the ingestion of a number additional filing
sources, including Spain, Norway, Portugal and Sweden, and we're in the
process of back-filling filings from these sources.
3. We now provide static copies of the filings index. For example, all
filings with a 2025 period end are available here:
https://filings.xbrl.org/indexes/filings-2025.json
If you're trying to maintain your own index of all filings, please use
these files rather than API. The "Last-Modified" header on these files
should accurately record when they last changed, so you can check for
updates very efficiently.
Please see the API documentation:
https://filings.xbrl.org/docs/api#index-files
4. If you're making regular use of our API, please set a user agent that
identifies you, including either an email address, or a link to where we
can find one. This will allow us to contact you rather than just
blocking or rate-limiting you in the event of problems. filings.xbrl.org
is proving increasingly popular, and whilst we don't currently prescribe
any specific usage limits, we are seeing clients that are unreasonably
aggressive, repetitive or inefficient.
