edgar_companies_by_sic
Pack: edgar · Endpoint: https://gateway.pipeworx.io/edgar/mcp
AUTHORITATIVE peer / competitor lookup: find every SEC filer classified under one SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) industry code. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for “who are $COMPANY’s public competitors/peers”, “list companies in ”. Pass EITHER sic directly (a 2-4 digit code, e.g. “3571” = Electronic Computers) OR ticker_or_cik for a company whose own SIC should be looked up first and then used to find its peers (self excluded by default). Returns each peer’s CIK, and ticker + company_name when the filer has a listed ticker — results are sorted so currently-listed peers come first, since an SIC bucket covers every filer that EVER filed the form (many delisted/defunct); unlisted registrants still appear after them with ticker:null rather than being dropped. Source: SEC EDGAR company-search (browse-edgar), filtered to filers who have filed the given form_type (default “10-K”, i.e. active public reporters — omitting this filter is unreliable upstream). Note: SIC is a broad, sometimes dated bucket assigned once at registration — treat this as a peer-set STARTING POINT, not a precise competitor list.
Parameters
Name Type Required Description sicstring no SIC code to search directly, e.g. “3571” (Electronic Computers), “2836” (Biological Products), “6021” (National Commercial Banks). Provide this OR ticker_or_cik. ticker_or_cikstring no Ticker (e.g. “AAPL”) or CIK of a company whose SIC should be resolved first, then used to find its peers. Provide this OR sic. form_typestring no Only include filers who have filed this form type (default “10-K” — active public reporters). SEC’s upstream search is unreliable with this left blank. exclude_selfboolean no When resolving via ticker_or_cik, exclude that company itself from the peer list. Default true. limitnumber no Max peers to return (1-100, default 25).
