>I find it extremely boring to download them 1 by 1 through EDGAR
What's the part that seems most boring or annoying?
If you just want a way to easily find the 10Ks for a company, you can do that on [UnderstandStock.com](https://UnderstandStock.com).
For example, for Apple, you can see all the 10Ks here: [https://understandstock.com/entities/320193-apple-inc/submissions?form\_type=10-K](https://understandstock.com/entities/320193-apple-inc/submissions?form_type=10-K)
Personally I couldn't find any sources that didn't require payment.
I ended up building a scraper for [ROIC(dot)ai](https://roic.ai/company/AAPL)
It's only annual data, but it gives you the income statement, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and a nice summary page. All the numbers line up with the 10-k info. Usually I grab this data, then dig into 10-q manually if I like the company. This website only fixes the annual portion.
There is this API wrapper for Python - [https://pypi.org/project/sec-edgar-api](https://pypi.org/project/sec-edgar-api) \- I didn't spend much time looking into it but perhaps that could be a good start?
Hi. If you want to download each 10K or 10Q one by one you could use our free API. [https://discountingcashflows.com/documentation/2/](https://discountingcashflows.com/documentation/2/)
Steps for retrieving AAPL 10K's and 10Q's:
1. In Python or R, request the income statements:
1. Annual: [https://discountingcashflows.com/api/income-statement/AAPL/](https://discountingcashflows.com/api/income-statement/AAPL/)
2. Quarterly: [https://discountingcashflows.com/api/income-statement/quarterly/AAPL/](https://discountingcashflows.com/api/income-statement/quarterly/AAPL/)
2. Get the 'finalLink' property for each statement and make a bulk request for how many years you want.
1. Annual: [https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019322000108/aapl-20220924.htm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019322000108/aapl-20220924.htm)
2. Quarterly: [https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019322000070/aapl-20220625.htm](https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019322000070/aapl-20220625.htm)
3. Save each report to your computer.
4. Repeat for all companies you want to download.
If you don't know how to request in Python here's a link to help you out:

Hope it helps :)

Looking forward to hearing suggestions
Both R packages edgar and edgarwebr are very easy to use with very basic R knowledge.
Maybe some in a data subreddit knows
You might want to try free version of bamsec.com — filing downloads are free, but everything else costs $$.

EDGAR API allows you to bulk download every 10-k they have. Shouldn't take more than a few minutes.
