Data is 10-1000x cheaper than existing products, and available without rate limiting. All existing datasets are licensed under MIT, so you can reuse for commercial offerings without worry. You can also use the open source package without paid endpoints completely for free. Datasets: SEC Filings ($1/100k downloads, updated instantly), Proxy Voting records parquet (updated daily), Insider Transactions parquet (daily), Institutional Holdings (daily), XBRL (daily), and more.

This grew out of an open source document parsing project I started during medical leave from my PhD at UCLA. The parser required a large supply of diverse data, so I chose the SEC corpus. I then released an open source package, datamule-python, to make it easy to work with SEC data. SEC rate limits were too slow, so I setup my own archive. I then released this to the public, using a Stripe paywall as a resource control mechanism. To date, ~150 startups and researchers have used this archive. In August 2025, I started getting requests from enterprises to add more datasets. For example, the institutional holdings dataset is sold for $40k/year by established vendors. That's a bit pricy. It's currently costs $36 for a one time download on datamule. $16 of that is download cost, $20 for a monthly subscription. Feel free to immediately cancel the subscription after purchase--you will have access for one month. This probably makes my churn metrics look bad, but I don't mind. The important thing is to provide an easy way to cheaply get this data.
