--- title: "One fund's portfolio Δ between two retained quarters" method: GET path: "/api/v1/sec/13f/{cik}/changes" tags: ["Hedge Fund Intelligence"] --- # One fund's portfolio Δ between two retained quarters `GET /api/v1/sec/13f/{cik}/changes` Position-level delta between two quarters for one institutional manager (CIK). Without query params: latest 2 quarters from the manifest (most-recent vs previous). With `from_quarter` + `to_quarter`: both stems validated against the manifest. Composite diff key is `(cusip, put_call, title)`; multiple INFOTABLE rows with the same key but different investment_discretion / voting / co-manager are aggregated by sum(value)+sum(shares) before diff. `filer_status_*` is `filed` or `not_filed` per quarter - useful for spotting deregistration or new filings. 409 when manifest has <2 quarters and no params provided; 404 when CIK absent from BOTH stems. ## Path parameters - `cik` string, required — SEC EDGAR CIK; leading zeros optional. ## Query parameters - `from_quarter` string, nullable — Older stem (`ddmmmyyyy-ddmmmyyyy` or `yyyyqN`). Default: prior to most-recent. - `to_quarter` string, nullable — Newer stem. Default: most-recent stem in retention. ## Response `200` Composite-key position delta for one CIK across two quarters. - EnvelopeSec13fCikChanges - `data` Sec13fCikChanges, required — Delta-positions between two quarters for one fund (CIK). - `comparison` Sec13fComparison — The interval a comparison actually covers. The baseline quarter is chosen from what retention holds, not from the calendar, so when a quarter is missing the two compared quarters are not adjacent and the delta spans more than one. Without this block the response would describe six months in the words of three. - `from_period_end` string, nullable — Reported quarter-end of the baseline. - `to_period_end` string, nullable — Reported quarter-end of the target. - `quarters_apart` integer, nullable — How many quarters the comparison covers; 1 is quarter-over-quarter. Null when the interval cannot be determined. - `calendar_adjacent` boolean, nullable — Whether the two quarters are consecutive. Absent when the interval could not be determined - false would read as a known answer. - `skipped_quarters` string[], nullable — Reported quarter-ends lying between the two that this comparison does not cover. - `note` string, nullable — Present only when quarters were skipped. - `cik` string, required - `manager_name` string, required - `from_stem` string, required - `to_stem` string, required - `filer_status_from` string, required — Whether CIK filed in from_stem. - `filer_status_to` string, required — Whether CIK filed in to_stem. - `positions_added` Sec13fPosition[], required — In to_stem only (composite-key aggregation). - `issuer` string, required - `title` string, required — Class title (e.g. COM = common stock). - `cusip` string, required - `figi` string, nullable — Bloomberg FIGI; often empty in SEC bulk. - `value_usd_thousands` integer, nullable — Holding market value in $thousands as filed. - `shares` integer, nullable — Share/principal amount. - `shares_type` string, required — SH = shares; PRN = principal amount (debt). - `put_call` string, nullable — None for direct holdings. - `investment_discretion` string, required - `voting_sole` integer, required — Voting authority: shares with sole voting power. - `voting_shared` integer, required — Voting authority: shares with shared voting power. - `voting_none` integer, required — Voting authority: shares with no voting power. - `accession` string, required - `period_of_report` string, required - `other_manager_cik` string, nullable — OWNER_CIK resolved from OTHERMANAGERS.tsv via INFOTABLE.OTHERMANAGER sequence number JOIN, 10-digit zero-padded string (matches Sec13fFiler.cik and Sec13fPosition.cik). Null when no co-manager OR seq unresolved. String type preserves leading zeros so joins to EDGAR / W3 SEC ADV string CIK keys work; an int field stripped 0001067983 -> 1067983 and broke those joins. - `other_manager_name` string, nullable — OTHER_INCLUDED_MANAGERS_NAME resolved from OTHERMANAGERS.tsv. Null when no co-manager OR seq unresolved. - `other_manager_seq` integer, nullable — Raw INFOTABLE.OTHERMANAGER sequence number, retained for debugging. Null when INFOTABLE row had no OTHERMANAGER reference. - `positions_removed` Sec13fPosition[], required — In from_stem only (composite-key aggregation). - `issuer` string, required - `title` string, required — Class title (e.g. COM = common stock). - `cusip` string, required - `figi` string, nullable — Bloomberg FIGI; often empty in SEC bulk. - `value_usd_thousands` integer, nullable — Holding market value in $thousands as filed. - `shares` integer, nullable — Share/principal amount. - `shares_type` string, required — SH = shares; PRN = principal amount (debt). - `put_call` string, nullable — None for direct holdings. - `investment_discretion` string, required - `voting_sole` integer, required — Voting authority: shares with sole voting power. - `voting_shared` integer, required — Voting authority: shares with shared voting power. - `voting_none` integer, required — Voting authority: shares with no voting power. - `accession` string, required - `period_of_report` string, required - `other_manager_cik` string, nullable — OWNER_CIK resolved from OTHERMANAGERS.tsv via INFOTABLE.OTHERMANAGER sequence number JOIN, 10-digit zero-padded string (matches Sec13fFiler.cik and Sec13fPosition.cik). Null when no co-manager OR seq unresolved. String type preserves leading zeros so joins to EDGAR / W3 SEC ADV string CIK keys work; an int field stripped 0001067983 -> 1067983 and broke those joins. - `other_manager_name` string, nullable — OTHER_INCLUDED_MANAGERS_NAME resolved from OTHERMANAGERS.tsv. Null when no co-manager OR seq unresolved. - `other_manager_seq` integer, nullable — Raw INFOTABLE.OTHERMANAGER sequence number, retained for debugging. Null when INFOTABLE row had no OTHERMANAGER reference. - `positions_changed` Sec13fPositionDelta[], required — In both, value or shares differ. - `cusip` string, required - `title` string, required - `put_call` string, nullable - `value_usd_thousands_from` integer, nullable - `value_usd_thousands_to` integer, nullable - `value_usd_thousands_delta` integer, nullable - `shares_from` integer, nullable - `shares_to` integer, nullable - `shares_delta` integer, nullable - `raw_row_count_from` integer, required — Distinct INFOTABLE rows aggregated into this key in from_stem. - `raw_row_count_to` integer, required — Distinct INFOTABLE rows aggregated into this key in to_stem. - `meta` SugraMeta, required — Metadata on a /api/v1/* response envelope built through `helpers.response.sugra_response`, which is how routes are expected to answer. A route that assembles its own `meta` dict carries only the keys it writes itself, so an optional field below can be absent because this response has nothing to report OR because that route does not build its envelope here - the two are not distinguishable from the outside (API-43). - `endpoint` string, required — Requested endpoint path. - `data_time` string, required — ISO 8601 timestamp the data on this response is stamped with. It is the source's own timestamp whenever the source supplied one this API could read; when it did not, this field falls back to the value of `response_time` and `data_age_days` is omitted, so the PRESENCE of that field is the signal to read - with the one exception named in its own description, a route that substitutes its own current time for a source timestamp it never received. Usually UTC (`Z`), but a source stating its own numeric offset keeps it (2026-04-16T14:30:00+09:00) rather than being converted a second time. For a source that publishes by period this is the period's START (see `period`) and for one that publishes by calendar day it is that day's midnight - in neither case a moment at which anything was observed or released. - `response_time` string, required — ISO 8601 UTC timestamp when this response was produced. - `provider` string, required — API name and version. - `data_age_days` number, nullable — Age of the data in days at the moment this response was produced, i.e. `response_time` minus `data_time`. Present ONLY when the timestamp this response is stamped with is a clock time that could be read as a real instant. It is ABSENT - never 0 - in every other case. Absent when no readable source timestamp was supplied, because `data_time` then repeats `response_time` and a zero age would assert that the data is current precisely where its true age is unknown. Absent when the source names a calendar day, a month, a quarter or a year (see `period`): the instant is then a boundary this API anchored at midnight, and time since a day or a quarter BEGAN is a different quantity from the age of the data - a daily series is out by up to a day, a quarterly one by up to a quarter. A midnight counts as such a boundary whichever zone it is stated in, and whether the source stated it or this API anchored it. The one case this field cannot see is a route that substitutes its own current time for a source timestamp it never received: the substituted value is a real, readable instant and is indistinguishable from one the source stated, so the age reads as roughly 0. The shared cache-and-fetch helper behind most routes stopped doing that (API-43), but the presence of this field is a statement about the timestamp the response carries, not a guarantee about the route that supplied it. Rounded to 0.001 day (86.4 seconds), so 0.0 is a real measured age anywhere within roughly +/-43 seconds and not a stand-in for unknown; a source stamping an instant in the future reports a negative value (-0.001 or less) rather than being clamped. Sources publish on very different cadences, so a non-zero age is normal, not an error. Preserve absence in client code: a generated client that materialises a missing optional number as its numeric default turns 'age unknown' back into 'age zero', which is the exact confusion this field exists to remove. - `source` string, nullable — Identifier of the primary upstream source used for this response. - `attribution` string, nullable — Human-readable attribution mandated by an upstream source (e.g. a securities regulator or self-regulatory organization). Present only on responses whose source requires the owner and source to be clearly identified. Do not remove or alter it when using the response. - `fallback_used` boolean, nullable — True when the primary source failed and a fallback produced the data. - `fallback_chain` string[], nullable — Ordered list of sources attempted, in the order they were tried. - `cached` boolean, nullable — True when this response was served from the internal cache. - `stale` boolean, nullable — True when the cached response was returned after the upstream rate-limited or errored. Clients can use this to detect degraded data. - `period` string, nullable — Unit of observation, when the source publishes by period rather than by instant. `data_time` carries the period's START instant so it stays machine-readable; this field preserves what that instant used to mean, which the conversion would otherwise erase. Present only for such sources, and only when the source hands the API the label itself - a client that converts the period to its start instant before building the envelope loses the label, though not the age exclusion, which is decided by the instant. Note that `data_age_days` is omitted whenever this is present, because an age measured from a period start is not a freshness figure. - `notes` string, nullable — Data-quality caveat about THIS response - how old the underlying report is, a chokepoint AIS lower-bound, or that a source-reported `data_time` could not be read and the response time is shown instead. Distinct from `attribution`, which is a licensing obligation. Multiple caveats are joined with ' | '. Present only when there is one. ## Other responses - `401` — Missing or invalid `x-api-key` header. JSON body with a stable `code` distinguishing `missing_api_key` (no header sent) from `invalid_api_key` (header sent, key not accepted); any other 401 source carries the generic `unauthorized` with its detail as `reason`. Plus `hint`. `plan` is always null on 401 - an unauthenticated request has no plan; quota exhaustion is 429, not 401. - `422` — Validation Error - `429` — Daily rate limit exceeded. Check `X-RateLimit-Reset` for the next window. - `503` — Upstream source is temporarily unavailable. Retry after a short delay. ## Changes - **2026-09-01** `328d061c12ca` — 3 info - added the optional property `meta/data_age_days` to the response with the `200` status - added the optional property `meta/notes` to the response with the `200` status - added the optional property `meta/period` to the response with the `200` status - **2026-08-20** `652554d2aae1` — 1 info - added the optional property `data/comparison` to the response with the `200` status - **2026-08-08** `4c4530760ba1` — 12 info - added the optional property `code` to the response with the `401` status - added the optional property `code` to the response with the `429` status - added the optional property `code` to the response with the `503` status - added the optional property `hint` to the response with the `401` status - …8 more [Change history](https://skmtc.dev/sugra/apis/sugra-api/changes/api/v1/sec/13f/:cik/changes/get.md) --- [API](https://skmtc.dev/sugra/apis/sugra-api.md) · [All operations](https://skmtc.dev/sugra/apis/sugra-api/llms.txt) · [OpenAPI document](https://skmtc.dev/sugra/apis/sugra-api/revisions/85caa556892f?raw)
