Live SEC Schedule 13D and 13G ownership filings - activist stakes, 5% owners, amendments and exits - read directly from EDGAR by ORTEX, typically within minutes of the filing hitting the SEC.

Each row carries the subject company, the reporting filer with an ORTEX-hosted image URL, the percent of class held and its change versus the filer's prior filing, and a link to the filing on sec.gov.

Available Data Points:

• Company / Exchange / Ticker: The subject company of the filing.
• Filed Date / Event Date: When the filing was made, and the transaction date it discloses.
• Filing Type: 13D, 13G, amendments (/A), and 13G→13D for a passive holder turning activist.
• Filer Name / Filer CIK: The reporting person and their stable SEC identifier.
• Filer Image URL: The filer's portrait or logo, hosted on the ORTEX CDN (empty when none is available).
• Percent Of Class: The stake disclosed in the filing.
• Percent Change: The change versus the same filer's prior filing on the same company.
• Shares Owned: Aggregate shares beneficially owned.
• SEC URL: The filing's index page on sec.gov.
• Ortex Company ID / Ortex Security ID / Ortex Tradable Item ID: The public ORTEX ids of the subject company's company, security and listing, for joining onto every other ORTEX dataset. Null when the subject company could not be resolved to a listing.
• Filer Kind: 'Active', or 'Passive giant' for index-fund mega-managers.

Filtering

from_date/to_date bound the filed date (both optional; the window may span at most one year and defaults to the year to today). filingType, filerName and filerKind narrow the feed (one company's filings are /api/v11/stock/{namespace}/{identifier}/activist/filings/); filerKind=Active removes the passive mega-manager noise so only genuinely activist filings remain.

13G>13D conversions

When a filer who previously held a stock passively (13G) files a 13D on it, the filing type reads 13G→13D - the moment a passive holder turns activist, which is the highest-signal event in this dataset. Filter for them with filing_type=13G>13D (13G→13D is accepted too).
