FilingWire Funding API — Terms of Use, Data Source & Disclaimer

Last updated: 2026-07-17 (product renamed to FilingWire Funding API; terms otherwise unchanged)

In these Terms, "we" / "us" / "the API" refer to the FilingWire Funding API and its operator; "you" means the user accessing it. Contact: hello@filingwire.io.

1. What this API provides

The FilingWire Funding API returns interpreted funding signals derived from public SEC EDGAR Form D filings — the issuer, amount raised, sector, location, exemption, and filing dates. It returns derived signals only, parsed from the structured Form D XML, and every record carries a source_url back to the original filing on EDGAR. It does not return raw filing text. This is a standalone product, separate from the FilingWire Risk API (SEC 8-K), which has its own terms.

2. Data source & attribution

• SEC EDGAR (Form D). U.S. SEC filings are public records / U.S. Government works (generally not subject to copyright). We access EDGAR within its published fair-use limits (≤10 requests/second, descriptive User-Agent). Source: https://www.sec.gov/edgar. The SEC does not endorse this product.

3. Personal data

We store business information only — issuer names, public filing metadata, and amounts. Personal names (e.g., Form D related persons / signatories) are stripped during ingestion and are never stored or served. The API exposes no personal or contact data.

4. Accuracy, freshness & "no advice" disclaimer

• The data is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose.
• total_amount_sold_usd is the cumulative amount reported across a filing and its amendments; "Indefinite" offerings are preserved as-is with a null numeric amount, and pooled investment funds are excluded. Verify against the linked filing before relying on any figure.
• This is information, not advice. Nothing here is investment, financial, legal, or tax advice, or a recommendation to buy or sell any security. Verify against primary sources before relying on it.

5. Acceptable use

• Access is sold and metered through the API marketplace; each request must arrive via the marketplace proxy. Do not attempt to circumvent authentication, quotas, or rate limits.
• Do not scrape, bulk-export, or resell the dataset in a way that substitutes for a subscription.
• Comply with all applicable laws and with SEC EDGAR's terms when acting on the data.

6. Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any decision made in reliance on the data. Total liability is limited to the fees paid for this API in the prior 1 month.

7. Changes & contact

We may update the data, endpoints, or these terms; material API changes will be versioned (/v1, /v2, …). Questions: hello@filingwire.io.
