Red Flag Radar scans SEC EDGAR filings and surfaces accounting, audit and governance red flags: restatements, going-concern, auditor changes, late filings. Each one is scored, linked to the source filing, and free to browse. Plus a point-in-time forensic features API for builders.

Hi Product Hunt I built Red Flag Radar because SEC filings are public, but the red flags inside them are not obvious. A restatement, a going-concern doubt, an auditor resignation, a late filing: these are some of the strongest signals in a company's disclosures, and they sit buried in 8-Ks and 10-Ks that almost nobody reads. Red Flag Radar scans EDGAR continuously and turns those filings into structured, scored red flags. Every one is deterministic (no black box), computed point-in-time, and linked to the exact filing and the language that triggered it. Free: - Browse red flags by company, by type, or the daily feed - RSS and a public JSON endpoint - A weekly and monthly report For builders: a point-in-time, evidence-backed forensic features API (issuer risk snapshots, auditor-change intelligence, restatement severity, and more). It is a solo project, and the dataset grows every day. These are factual reports of public filings, not allegations of wrongdoing and not investment advice. I would love feedback on: which red flags you would want added, how the false-positive handling feels, and what would make the API genuinely useful in a backtest or workflow. Ask me anything.

How often do you refresh the filings and update the scores, and does the API let me pull historical red flag data for a specific ticker going back a few years?

Linking every flag straight back to the actual SEC filing instead of a hand-wavey summary is the right call, makes the whole thing feel built by people who actually do diligence.
