## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## SEC EDGAR Filing Monitor — Full-Text Search to JSON (with stock tickers)

Search and monitor **SEC EDGAR filings** through the official EDGAR full-text search
API — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1 and more — by keyword, form type, and date. No browser, no
proxy: a public government API, so it's fast, reliable, and fully legal.

#### What makes this different: every filer mapped to its stock ticker

Each EDGAR record already carries the filer's **CIK** (the SEC's permanent company ID),
so this actor performs an **exact CIK → ticker join** against SEC's official company
list. The result: `tickers` + a primary `ticker` on every filing, **near-100% accurate**
for publicly-traded filers (no fuzzy name matching). Raw filings are free; filings
already attached to an investable ticker are research-ready signal.

#### Input

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `query` | Full-text search across filings (keyword, company, product) — **required** |
| `forms` | Filter to forms, e.g. `["10-K","8-K"]` (empty = all) |
| `startDate` / `endDate` | Filing date window (YYYY-MM-DD) |
| `maxResults` | Max filings to return (≤ 10000) |
| `contactEmail` | Your email for the SEC-required User-Agent |
| `mapTickers` | Add ticker + CIK per filer (default `true`) |

#### Output (one item per filing)

```json
{
  "companies": ["NVIDIA CORP (NVDA) (CIK 0001045810)"],
  "ciks": ["0001045810"],
  "tickers": ["NVDA"],
  "ticker": "NVDA",
  "form": "10-K",
  "fileDate": "2025-02-26",
  "accessionNumber": "0001045810-25-000023",
  "indexUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1045810/.../-index.htm"
}
```

#### Use cases

- **Quant / alternative data** — turn full-text filing hits into ticker-tagged events.
- **Finance research & monitoring** — watch 8-K/S-1 flow for a keyword or sector.
- **Watchlists & screeners** — filter filings down to traded companies.

#### Pricing

Pay-per-result (PPE): billed per filing returned. Schedule it to keep a fresh,
ticker-mapped feed of new filings.

#### Legal & data notes

All data comes from SEC EDGAR's official full-text search API (public filings, no
personal data). Ticker/CIK mapping uses SEC's public `company_tickers.json`. SEC
requires a descriptive User-Agent with a contact email — set `contactEmail`.

# Actor input Schema

## `query` (type: `string`):

Full-text search across EDGAR filings, e.g. "artificial intelligence", a company name, or a product.

## `forms` (type: `array`):

Filter to specific filing forms (e.g. 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1). Leave empty for all.

## `startDate` (type: `string`):

Only filings on/after this date. Requires End date too.

## `endDate` (type: `string`):

Only filings on/before this date. Requires Start date too.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum filings to return (EDGAR full-text search caps at 10000).

## `contactEmail` (type: `string`):

SEC requires a contact email in the request User-Agent. Use your own to be a good API citizen.

## `mapTickers` (type: `boolean`):

Add each filer's stock ticker via an exact CIK join against SEC's official company list (near-100% accurate for publicly-traded filers). Adds a `tickers` array + primary `ticker`.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "artificial intelligence",
  "forms": [
    "10-K"
  ],
  "maxResults": 200,
  "contactEmail": "anonymous@example.com",
  "mapTickers": true
}
```

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "query": "artificial intelligence",
    "forms": [
        "10-K"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("aaddss/edgar-filing-monitor").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("aaddss/edgar-filing-monitor").call(run_input=run_input)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "query": "artificial intelligence",
  "forms": [
    "10-K"
  ]
}' |
apify call aaddss/edgar-filing-monitor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,aaddss/edgar-filing-monitor"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
