Get Company News
What it does
Get recent news articles, press releases and AI-analysed SEC filings for a company. Use when researching recent developments, catalysts, or sentiment drivers.
Filing rows (category "sec_filing") are event-bearing forms only (8-K, 6-K, 424B prospectus supplements, S-1/F-1, 10-K/10-Q/20-F, SC 13D, proxies, delisting notices; never Form 3/4/5, 13G or bank-note 424B2) and carry formType + accessionNumber; a filing that repeats a press release is omitted in favour of the release. For a small foreign issuer that files its news as 6-Ks, the filing IS the news.
Set pressReleasesOnly to return only official company press releases (no filings).
