""" MEXAR - SEC EDGAR fetcher for the financial corpus. Fetches ~130 10-K filing sections (MD&A, Risk Factors) from SEC EDGAR using the full-text search API, follows through to the actual EDGAR filing documents, extracts the relevant section text, and saves one .txt file per document plus a manifest.json. Usage: python backend/scripts/fetch_secedgar.py Requirements: pip install requests beautifulsoup4 lxml SEC Fair Access Policy: Every request MUST include a descriptive User-Agent header in the format: "FirstName LastName email@example.com" without this, SEC will block your IP. Override with the SEC_USER_AGENT environment variable. Run this locally (not in a network-restricted sandbox).
