How to do a search when the URL doesn't have a clean way to insert a {query} search?

[swiggy]

There's some websites like https://www.sec.gov/edgar/searchedgar/companysearch.html or https://www.tradingview.com/chart/ where I can't seem to insert a ticker symbol to get the result. I know if I put a ticker symbol after chart for tradingview you get a result but its not within the interactive chart.

 

I was wondering if someone has solution for this? Or is there a way to do a query search on the search bar on that url page? I don't know how to code but I think its using javascript to update so the url doesn't change when u change the ticker symbol in the interactive chart. Thanks.

Try this for sec.gov: https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company={query}

Example: https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?company=twitter

 

Sorry couldn't figure out the second one

Thanks but doesn't seem to work on other names for me, ideally would like to have a query search on the ticker name vs company name as theres alot of room for errors.

Would love to know more about your process behind figuring this out @deanishe!
I opened network inspector, saw a bunch of XHRs fetching JSON and gave up thinking its all dynamic! 😁

First, I did the same as you. When that didn't work, I figured they'd probably link to that chart a lot, so I looked on the details page for a stock. And there's a big link to the chart including the symbol parameter.

You're the best deanishe, thanks  

 

For Edgar do you know how to search by ticker name? Typing out the company name can lead to alot of errors, if I type by ticker name I'll know for sure i'll get the result of what I'm looking for.
