# 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)](http://www.sec.gov). The number is used to identify the filings of a company in the [EDGAR
database](http://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html).

This gem allows to look up the EDGAR database by symbol to get the company CIK.
