Active Cobra traders can now redeem Cobra Prime points for $50 or $100 in Ask Edgar API credits. We’ve also improved the historical float endpoint and launched two new endpoints, Catalysts and Corporate Contacts, with Historical Dilution by CIK on the way.
Cobra Prime & API credits
What is changing? Our partner Cobra Trading has added Ask Edgar API credits to its Cobra Prime program.
Who is eligible? Active Cobra traders who earn Prime points. Cobra runs the Prime program, so eligibility is set on their side.
How much credit can I get? You can redeem Prime points for either $50 or $100 in Ask Edgar API credits. Check the Cobra Prime page for how many points each option takes.
How do I redeem points? Redeem through the Cobra Prime program. Questions about credits on your Ask Edgar account? Email jason@askedgar.io.
What can I use the credits for? The Ask Edgar API, so you can build your own scanners, research tools and workflows.
Why use Prime points on Ask Edgar? Most Cobra Prime partners are SaaS platforms. API credits give you a way to spend your benefits on tools you build yourself.
How do I get started with the API? Sign up at the Ask Edgar platform and read the getting started docs.
Historical float data improvements
What changed in the historical float endpoint? There are two updates: CIK lookup is now supported, and the ownership source URLs have been fixed.
Why look up by CIK instead of ticker? Our historical float data goes back to 2015. Over that period tickers change or get reused. A CIK stays tied to one company, so your results stay accurate across ticker changes.
What was fixed in ownership source URLs? The ownership source URL now correctly points to the filing or source used to calculate the historical ownership data, so you can trace each figure back to where it came from.
How do I use CIK lookup? See the historical float endpoint in the API docs.
New and upcoming endpoints
Two endpoints from our last update are now live, and one more is on the way.
Catalysts (live) Screen upcoming catalysts by date, date range, type, sentiment, market cap, ticker and sector. Covers earnings, clinical readouts, FDA decisions, product launches, financings, debt maturities, reverse splits, shareholder votes, exchange compliance deadlines and M&A.
Corporate Contacts (live) Pull executive and board contacts by ticker, including work emails, LinkedIn profiles, bios, roles, start/end dates and employment history.
Historical Dilution by CIK (coming soon) Backtest stocks with point-in-time dilution metrics back to 2021, without reconciling ticker changes.
Both live endpoints work alongside our existing dilution, offerings, cash runway and financing restrictions data, so you can build custom screens, dashboards and research workflows.
How will I know when new endpoints launch? We announce them in the Ask Edgar newsletter and the API docs.
