Edgrapi Review

Depends

Should I use Edgrapi?

US Government Data API by Paper and Beyond - edgrapi.com

· 1 week ago

Buy if you're a developer or agent builder who wants SEC and government data as clean JSON without maintaining parsers. Avoid if you need enterprise support, compliance, or SLAs — the security page 404s and this looks like a one-person shop.

Gotchas - check before you buy

Security page 404s — verify their data handling before sending anything sensitive.

Paid-tier pricing not published in sources reviewed; budget unclear before signup.

medium

Each normalized statement counts as one request; agent workloads can burn credits fast.

Free tier caps at 100 credits/month; heavy testing hits the wall quickly.

What users say

Early adopters like the clean parsed JSON, but chatter suggests a couple of paying customers so far.

“Edgrapi does that parsing once and hands it back as clean JSON. One call, one URL. That's the product.”
Reddit, u/Capedcrusader1923
“The two people who pay for Edgrapi are the only signal that counts.”
Reddit, r/SaaS (translated from French)
Full analysis

Based on 14 public sources; sparse independent review data.

Clean JSON for SEC EDGAR, SAM.gov & Grants.gov plus an MCP server — great for devs, risky for mission-critical use.
