Getting Started

Create your account​

  1. Go to situationatlas.com/signup
  2. Enter your email and a password, then confirm the verification code we email you
  3. Sign in and pick a plan — monthly ($399/mo) or yearly ($2,999/yr, the prepaid discount) — and add a card to start your 7-day free trial

Your card isn't charged until the trial ends, and you can cancel anytime before then from Settings and pay nothing. A card on file is required before API keys can be created.

Mint an API key​

On the API Keys page, create a key. The full key (prefix sa_) is shown once — store it in your secrets manager. Send it as the x-api-key header on every request.

Point your agent at the API​

The fastest bootstrap is the API's own documentation endpoints:

# The complete API reference as markdown — built for AI agents
curl -H "x-api-key: sa_YOUR_KEY" BASE_URL/docs

# The canonical machine-readable contract
curl -H "x-api-key: sa_YOUR_KEY" BASE_URL/openapi.json

There's also an llms.txt at the site root, and an MCP server for Claude-family agents — see the API overview.

Poll the resumable cursor instead of paginating by date:

# First call: start from a date
curl -H "x-api-key: sa_YOUR_KEY" "BASE_URL/filings/sec/updates?since=2026-07-22"

# Every call after: pass back the cursor you received — only new filings return
curl -H "x-api-key: sa_YOUR_KEY" "BASE_URL/filings/sec/updates?since=CURSOR"
