How do I find the CIK for a company like Apple?

You can search for a company's CIK on the official SEC website or ask your agent to find it. For Apple, the CIK is '0000320193'. Remember to use the leading zeros if necessary.

Can I see the latest 10-K filing for a specific entity?

Yes! Use the `get_submissions` tool with the company's CIK. The response will list the most recent filings, and you can identify the 10-K report among them.

XBRL (eXtensible Business Reporting Language) is a standardized format for business reporting. It allows the SEC and analysts to extract specific financial facts (like Net Income) from filings programmatically.
