Using an Edgar API to Pull SEC data Into Alteryx Using the Download Tool

I want to use SEC's Edgar site's API to pull data into alteryx and i am not sure how to do this.

 

Specifically, the data i want to pull are the data within the filings that are submitted to the SEC (ex: a company's financial statements).

 

I found this documentation, but, I am unsure how exactly to use it to pull the filings into alteryx directly for further analysis: SEC.gov | EDGAR Application Programming Interfaces

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

@ztriano- see my other response. You have to open the xml parser macro (right click on it) go into the download tool there - manually add the user agent (again) and then save it. I got it to work so IT IS POSSIBLE! DON'T GIVE UP!
