What it does

Regulation A lets a small company sell shares to the public without a full registration. The company files a Form 1-A to open the offering, a Form 1-K each year, and a Form 1-Z when it closes.

This tool searches all three form families in one call. One row is one filing. The server queries the 1-A, 1-K and 1-Z indices together, so the shape of a row depends on its formType. A 1-A row has summaryInfo and issuerInfo. A 1-K row has item1 and periodOfReport. A 1-Z row has summaryInfoOffering and certificationSuspension. Check formType before you read a field.

Coverage starts 2015-06-22, the first year of Regulation A+.

When to use it

• Show me every Reg A filing this company has ever made.
• Which Reg A issuers filed anything last week?
• Trace one offering from its 1-A through its 1-K reports to its 1-Z close.
• Which Reg A issuers are in this state?

When to use a different tool

Situation	Better tool	Why
You only want offering statements	reg-a-form-1a	One row shape, no formType guard needed
You only want annual reports	reg-a-form-1k	Same reason
You only want exit reports	reg-a-form-1z	Same reason
The raise is a private placement	form-d	Reg D offerings file Form D
The raise is a crowdfunding campaign	form-c	Reg CF offerings file Form C

Input

Parameter	Type	Required	Constraints	Notes
query	string	yes	none	Lucene syntax. A bare word is accepted.
from	integer	no	0 or more	Offset.
size	integer	no	1 to 50	Default 50. Above 50 returns HTTP 400.
sort	array	no	ES sort clause	Default [{"filedAt":{"order":"desc"}}].

Query fields:

Field	Example	Applies to
cik	cik:1730773	all forms
accessionNo	accessionNo:"0001493152-26-037452"	all forms
companyName	companyName:"Blue Star Foods"	all forms
ticker	ticker:BSFC	all forms
fileNo	fileNo:"024-12712"	all forms
formType	formType:"1-K"	all forms
filedAt	filedAt:[2024-01-01 TO 2024-12-31]	all forms
summaryInfo.indicateTier1Tier2Offering	summaryInfo.indicateTier1Tier2Offering:Tier1	1-A only

A field that belongs to one form family simply filters the others out. That is useful: summaryInfo.indicateTier1Tier2Offering:Tier1 returns 2,009 rows, all of them 1-A.

formType matches the exact string. formType:"1-K" returns 2,875 rows and does not include the 125 1-K/A amendments. Query both, or use a wildcard such as formType:1-K*.

Counts by form type, measured on 2026-08-13:

formType	Rows
1-A	2,326
1-A/A	4,608
1-A POS	2,591
1-A-W	492
1-K	2,875
1-K/A	125
1-Z	630
1-Z/A	12

Output

The envelope is {total, data[]}. total is {value, relation}. A relation of gte with value 10000 means "10,000 or more".

Envelope

Field	Type	Meaning
total.value	integer	Number of filings that match the query
total.relation	string	eq for an exact count, gte when the count stops at 10000
data[]	array	The matched filings, at most 50 per response

Filing identity

Every row carries these fields, whatever the form type.

Field	Type	Meaning
id	string	Internal document ID
accessionNo	string	EDGAR accession number
fileNo	string	SEC file number. It ties together all filings of one offering process. 024- on an offering statement, 24R- on an annual or exit report.
formType	string	See the table above
filedAt	string	Time EDGAR accepted the filing, with offset
periodOfReport	string	Period the filing covers, YYYY-MM-DD. On a 1-K it is the fiscal year end.
cik	string	Issuer CIK, no leading zeros
ticker	string	Ticker of the issuer at the time of filing. Usually empty. Most Reg A issuers are unlisted.
companyName	string	Issuer legal name as given in the filing

The rest of the row depends on formType. Each block below appears only on the form family named in its heading.

Block	Form
employeesInfo[], issuerInfo, commonEquity[], preferredEquity[], debtSecurities[], issuerEligibility, applicationRule262, summaryInfo, juridictionSecuritiesOffered, securitiesIssued[], unregisteredSecurities, unregisteredSecuritiesAct	1-A
item1, item1Info[], item2, summaryInfo[]	1-K
item1, summaryInfoOffering[], certificationSuspension[], signatureTab[]	1-Z

Note two collisions. summaryInfo is an object on a 1-A row and an array on a 1-K row. item1 is on both 1-K and 1-Z rows, and the two shapes share only the address keys. Branch on formType first.

Copy the spellings exactly.

Each form family also has its own page: reg-a-form-1a, reg-a-form-1k and reg-a-form-1z. Those pages list the query fields for one family.

from plus size must stay at or below 10,000. That is the deepest you can page.

Limits and errors

• size above 50 gives HTTP 400 with a message naming the 50 limit.
• from plus size above 10,000 returns {"total":{"value":0},"data":[]} with no error. An empty result there does not mean there is no more data.
• The registry description says the tool returns "status". No status field exists. Infer status from formType: a 1-Z means the offering closed.
• The registry says Reg A offerings are capped at $75M. That is the legal Tier 2 ceiling, not a field in the response.
• A bare word query is accepted but the analysis is strict. apple returned zero rows. Use a field query.
• A 1-A-W withdrawal returns only the first seven metadata fields. EDGAR holds no structured data for it.
• Shared behaviour is in limits and errors.
