Cik

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"
}

$ rake console

$ rspec
