# Clous — agent-native SEC/EDGAR API

> Entity-resolved SEC filing data through a consistent JSON envelope. Search filings,
> resolve companies, and pull advisers, managers, holdings, insiders, ownership, fund
> holdings, financials, and capital raises. All data derives from public SEC EDGAR
> filings; Clous is independent of the SEC.
