What we're after:
Now that we've removed raw filings beyond 4 months for raw data(/efile/ endpoints), we need to make it clear on the API that the limitation exists.

Completion criteria:

  • Draft language alongside the content team
  • Implement language wherever appropriate in API documentation

floating this suggestion around:

These endpoints are perfect for watching filings roll in when you want to know the latest information. Efiling endpoints only contain the most recent two years [insert: four months] worth of data and don't contain the processed and coded data that you can find on the other endpoints. Those endpoints are better for in-depth analysis.
