Linking to filings using ticker symbols
By default, Edgarest uses CIK numbers to identify companies. At the same time, it supports NASDAQ and NYSE stock tickers, so you can link to pages directly without looking up the CIK.
To do this, just use the following format for a url: http://edgarest.com/company/ticker/[ticker]. For example, here is the link for Procter and Gamble: http://edgarest.com/company/ticker/pg.
We’ve noticed from our server logs that at least one site (Stockalicious) does that already for financial statements.
