get_cik

Translates a stock ticker symbol into the corresponding SEC EDGAR Central
Index Key (CIK). The CIK is a unique numerical identifier assigned by the
SEC to every company that files with EDGAR. It is required for all
subsequent EDGAR API calls.

Provides a simple, ticker-based interface for retrieving fundamental
financial data from the United States Securities and Exchange Commission's
'EDGAR' 'XBRL' API <https://www.sec.gov/edgar/sec-api-documentation>. Functions
return key financial ratios including earnings per share, return on equity,
return on assets, debt-to-equity, current ratio, gross margin, operating
margin, net margin, price-to-earnings, price-to-book, and dividend yield
for any publicly traded U.S. company. Data is sourced directly from company
10-K annual filings, requiring no API key or paid subscription. Designed for
use in quantitative finance courses and research workflows.
