How often is the database updated? For instance on stock price data can it be considered realtime (or 15 min lag) for daily market tracking? Not familiar with that SEC api.

The data is refreshed nightly for stocks. And monthly from SEC once it is available to download. There is no guaranteed data delivery SLA that I know about from SEC, so I get it monthly once it arrives. I talk more about this in detail on the website, I will also update the data documentation tab, and in tutorials. https://tesseractanalytics.ai/finance-data-quarterly-data-do...
data in edgar is usually available next business day after company filed documents.
Yes, but they do not necessarily offer it as a dump right away. So I am still relying on monthly dumps.
they do, here are daily files with references on filing for Apr: https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/daily-index/2023/QTR2/
Thank you! Yes, but I am using their monthly dumps for now, because it was easier for data warehousing. I will put it in my plans to pull data daily incrementally in the future as a next phase.
