  name: SEC EDGAR Submission API API
  description: "Submission of filings to EDGAR by API can be made through the Submission API. The Submission API requires\
    \ the presentation of a Filer API Token in combination with a User API Token. Optionally,\n    filers could also specify\
    \ a login CIK if there is a delegation from the EDGAR account corresponding\nto the login CIK to the filer API token EDGAR\
    \ account/CIK. Delegations can be established on\n    the Filer Management dashboard under “Manage Delegations and User\
    \ Groups.” For more information\non establishing delegations,\n    see [How Do I “Understand and Manage Delegation.](https://www.sec.gov/submit-filings/filer-support-resources/how-do-i-guides/understand-manage-delegation)”\n\
    \n    Filings transmitted through the Submission API are expected to conform to the filing standard(s)\n[provided by the\
    \ SEC](https://www.sec.gov/submit-filings).\n    Information is provided on the required format and contents of filings\
    \ by the [Technical Specifications](https://www.sec.gov/submit-filings/technical-specifications).\n    Information and\
    \ guidance on filing can be found in the [EDGAR Filing Manual](https://www.sec.gov/submit-filings/edgar-filer-manual).\n\
    \    Information on specific forms can be found in the [SEC Forms Index](https://www.sec.gov/submit-filings/forms-index).\n\
    \n    The Submission API will return accession numbers for the submitted filings. A 202 HTTP status\ncode indicates only\
    \ that processing will begin in EDGAR and an\n    accession number or accession numbers have been generated. Filings with\
    \ errors will be processed\nand suspended by EDGAR. The results of processing (status and errors)\n    are not provided\
    \ by this endpoint and are instead available to clients using the API through the\nSubmission Status API.\n\n    When\
    \ using Submission API endpoints, the client can optionally specify the \"Expect: 100-continue\"\nHTTP request header\
    \ to allow a response from these API resources\n    to be returned before uploading the entire filing in the event that\
    \ the EDGAR API determines that\nthe request will not be allowed.\n    This header should only be used for requests that\
    \ have a body more than 1MiB in size.\n\n    Filings may be transmitted via either SINGLE or BULK transmission. A SINGLE\
    \ transmission provides\na single filling and will result in a response containing an accession number if the filing is\
    \ transmitted successfully or an error if there is an issue while transmitting the filing. Even if a filing is successfully\
    \ transmitted through the submission API, the filing may still be suspended by EDGAR if the contents of the filing do\
    \ not satisfy EDGAR filing requirements. The accession number may be provided to the Submission Status API in order to\
    \ check whether the filing was accepted by EDGAR.\n\n    A BULK filing, in contrast, is a single document that contains\
    \ multiple filings to be submitted.\nIf one or more filings are successfully transmitted then one or more accession numbers\
    \ will be created and returned in the same order filings are included in the BULK filing document. However, if a filing\
    \ is not successfully transmitted then an accession number may not be created, which means that the filer may have difficulty\
    \ determining which accession number corresponds to which filing in the BULK filing document. Even if a filing is successfully\
    \ transmitted through the Submission API, the filing may still be suspended by EDGAR if the contents of the filing do\
    \ not satisfy EDGAR filing requirements. The relevant accession number may be provided to the Submission Status API in\
    \ order to check whether the filing was accepted by EDGAR."
