# Extract a single item from a filing

`GET /api/filings/item`

> **Preview:** This endpoint is a preview of a planned feature for a future release. Item extraction is not yet enabled for the full filing universe — most filings will not have extracted items until processing is complete.

Returns the full content of a single extracted item (section) from a SEC filing.
Content is available as HTML (original formatting preserved) or plain text (tags stripped).

Use `/api/filings/item-list` first to discover which items are available for a given filing.

**Coverage note:** Item extraction is best-effort. SEC filings do not follow a standardized HTML structure —
headings, fonts, and layouts vary significantly across filers and filing agents. Our extractor uses
font-weight, font-size, and DOM structure heuristics to detect section boundaries. While extraction succeeds
for the vast majority of filings, some items may be missing or have imprecise boundaries in edge cases.
If an item is not listed by `/api/filings/item-list`, it was not detected in the filing.
