A Central Index Key or CIK number is a number given to an individual or company by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The number is used to identify the filings of a company in the EDGAR database.
This gem allows to look up the EDGAR database by symbol to get the company CIK.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'cik'
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install cik
Usage is pretty simple:
Cik.lookup('CSCO')The response is a Hash with this format:
{
:cik => "0000858877",
:name => "CISCO SYSTEMS, INC.",
:sic => "3576"
}| Key | Description |
|---|---|
| cik | CIK number |
| name | Entity name |
| sic | SIC (Standard Industrial Classification) code |
