How to Use RSS Feeds to Access SEC XBRL Files

XBRL reports provided to the SEC's Voluntary Program for Reporting Financial Information Using XBRL can also be obtained from the SEC using RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feed files by going to (http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/xbrlrss.xml). These files are updated nightly to to include link information and metadata (company name, accession number, CIK, filing date, file number, form type) for all XBRL filings that have been accepted by EDGAR so far.

RSS (which also stands for RDF Site Summary and Rich Site Summary) is an open XML-based standard for news syndication. It can be consumed by standard RSS readers or custom-built applications to automatically access standardized and up-to-date web information without necessarily having to use a browser.

The EDGAR XBRL RSS feed files contain links to and useful metadata for all EDGAR XBRL documents. This information can be subsequently consumed by applications that view, analyze and manipulate the XBRL tagged data contained in these documents.

There are now two XBRL RSS files that are available on the SEC website:

• XBRL documents that use US GAAP as the base taxonomy in support of the XBRL Voluntary Financial Reporting Program on the EDGAR System (Release No. 33-8529), which can be accessed at http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/xbrlrss.xml.

• XBRL documents in which the Investment Company Institute's (ICI) Risk Return taxonomy is used as the base taxonomy in support of the Extension of Interactive Data Voluntary Reporting Program on the EDGAR System to Include Mutual Fund Risk/Return Summary Information (Release No. 33-8823), which can be accessed at http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/xbrlrss.risk-return.htm

Please note that documents appearing in one XBRL RSS feed do not appear in the other. The two feeds are mutually exclusive.

Access to the XBRL RSS feeds is also available by going to the Search the EDGAR Database page at http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/webusers.htm and pressing the orange XML buttons located next to XBRL (US GAAP) RSS Feed and XBRL (Risk Return) RSS Feed.

Please note that the contents and format of these RSS files may be subject to change with little or no prior warning.
