Could you build this?
No Parsing raw SEC EDGAR XBRL filings accurately into normalized financial statements involves massive edge cases, historical accounting taxonomies, and continuous validation pipelines.
What it would actually take: A production SEC API requires high-throughput scrapers for EDGAR archives, custom parsers for legacy HTML, SGML, and complex US-GAAP/IFRS XBRL XML taxonomies, along with normalization pipelines handling restatements and split adjustments. The system needs distributed workers (Celery/Temporal) backed by PostgreSQL/ClickHouse. Building this requires deep financial accounting expertise and specialized data engineering to handle inconsistent reporting practices across thousands of public companies.
