What is the purpose and functionality of these Tokens?
EDGAR Next filings, when submitted by any filing agent, must use the new EDGAR API (Application Programming Interface) system that the SEC provides, and in order to securely access the APIs and identify the individual performing the filing, two tokens must be provided.
The Filer API Token identifies the EDGAR Account (CIK) while the User Token identifies the individual. Both tokens are created on the EDGAR Filer Management dashboard. These two tokens replace the SEC password in the current EDGAR environment during the filing submission process.
“Tokens” are simply a specially encoded text file, approximately 1,500 characters long, in a format known as JSON Web Token (JWT) which is a cryptographically signed bit of data that allows the SEC to verify that they are valid and unmodified. In Workiva, you will have the option to upload or paste these tokens into your account and user settings, or you may choose to provide them in the Test and Live Filing steps.
