edgarparse

Get structured SEC financial statements from EDGAR filings — income, balance sheet, and cash flow — without scraping HTML or guessing multipliers.

Uses inline XBRL (iXBRL) embedded in every modern 10-Q and 10-K: values are exact, element names are standardized across companies via the us-gaap:* taxonomy, and facts come out in statement order.

Install

npm install edgarparse

Example

import { XBRLIncomeQuarterlyProcessor } from 'edgarparse';

const income = new XBRLIncomeQuarterlyProcessor();
income.initialize('789019', '2023-09-30');  // Microsoft, Q1 FY2024
const result = income.extract();

result.quarterly.facts.forEach(f => console.log(f.label, f.value));
// revenue           56517000000
// cost of revenue   16302000000
// gross profit      40215000000
// operating income  26895000000
// net income        22291000000

All three statements work the same way:

import {
    XBRLIncomeQuarterlyProcessor,
    XBRLBalanceQuarterlyProcessor,
    XBRLCashflowQuarterlyProcessor,
    XBRLIncomeAnnualProcessor,
    XBRLBalanceAnnualProcessor,
    XBRLCashflowAnnualProcessor,
} from 'edgarparse';

// Balance sheet (point-in-time snapshot)
const balance = new XBRLBalanceQuarterlyProcessor();
balance.initialize('789019', '2023-09-30');
const { endDate, facts } = balance.extract();

// Cash flow (always YTD; diff consecutive filings for standalone quarter)
const cashflow = new XBRLCashflowQuarterlyProcessor();
cashflow.initialize('789019', '2023-09-30');
const { ytd } = cashflow.extract();

// Pass raw filing string directly instead of reading from disk
const raw = fs.readFileSync('./my-filing.txt', 'utf8');
processor.initialize('789019', '2023-09-30', raw);

Output format

type XBRLFact = {
    concept: string;   // "us-gaap:Revenues" — stable cross-company identifier
    label: string;     // "revenue" — human-readable
    value: number;     // actual dollars, fully scaled (not in thousands/millions)
    unit: 'USD';
};

type PeriodFacts = {
    startDate: string; // "2023-07-01"
    endDate: string;   // "2023-09-30"
    months: number;    // 3 or 9
    facts: XBRLFact[];
};

// Income:   { quarterly: PeriodFacts; ytd?: PeriodFacts }
// Cashflow: { ytd: PeriodFacts }
// Balance:  { endDate: string; facts: XBRLFact[] }

Facts are returned in document order — revenue → gross profit → operating income → net income — matching the actual filing layout.

Input data

Raw EDGAR filing files go in:

data/txt/10-q/{cik}-{date}.txt

To download the filings needed for the test suite:

npm run download

To add a filing for any other company, download it from EDGAR full-text search and drop the .txt file in that directory. The CIK is the stable EDGAR company identifier — it never changes unlike tickers.

How it works

Modern 10-Q and 10-K filings embed XBRL facts directly in HTML via <ix:nonFraction> tags. Each tag carries:

• name — the XBRL concept (us-gaap:Revenues)
• contextRef — links to a period (2023-07-01 → 2023-09-30)
• scale — power of 10 (6 = millions), making the actual value unambiguous
• sign — explicit negation flag

The parser filters 500+ context definitions down to the consolidated (non-segment) contexts matching the reporting period, collects all USD facts, and maps us-gaap:* element names to human-readable labels.
