edgar_ticker_to_cik
ActiveTool of Edgar
declared in 0.1.0
Resolve a US stock ticker (e.g. "TSLA") OR a company name (e.g. "Tesla", "Apple Inc") to the SEC's 10-digit CIK identifier — required by every other SEC tool. Call THIS FIRST when you have a ticker/name and need to use edgar_company_concept, edgar_company_filings, edgar_company_facts, sec_8k_recent, or any other SEC-keyed tool. Returns {cik, cik_padded, company_name, ticker, matched_by}; when matched by name it also returns `alternatives` for disambiguation. Cheap, no rate limit concerns. Most other tools also accept tickers/names directly and call this internally — only use it explicitly when you want the CIK as data.
