Passive Beneficial Ownership Report (Schedule 13G) SEC Filing API

Schedule 13G is the short-form beneficial ownership report filed by passive investors — qualified institutions and exempt investors — who cross 5% of a class of registered voting equity without intent to influence control of the issuer. It is the passive counterpart to Schedule 13D and identifies large index funds, asset managers, and long-only holders. Together, 13G passive stakes, 13D activist stakes, and 13F quarterly holdings give a complete picture of institutional ownership. The SEC Filing API returns 13G filing URLs and dates for any public company by ticker.
