US government finance and securities

Sources for federal spending, securities filings, and higher-education statistics.

SEC EDGAR

• Company facts and filings are available as JSON from https://data.sec.gov/ (for example /submissions/CIK##########.json). Send a descriptive User-Agent header with a contact address, or requests are refused.
• Regulation Crowdfunding offering data is published as quarterly datasets under sec.gov/dera/data. County-level questions need the issuer address fields joined to a county lookup.

USAspending

• API root: https://api.usaspending.gov/api/v2/. Treasury account and federal account endpoints return obligations by fiscal year.
• Fiscal years run October to September. State the FY explicitly.

OMB SF-133

• Reports on budget execution are published by OMB as spreadsheets by agency and fiscal year. There is no JSON API; record the file name and the sheet you used.

IPEDS

• The IPEDS Data Center provides institution-level tables. Complete data files are CSVs per survey and year; variable names change between years, so cite the dictionary.
• Do not paste IPEDS tables into this wiki as encoded chunks. Link the file and summarize.
