## 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

## Find Newly Funded Companies + Decision Makers (SEC Form D)

Get a clean, sales-ready feed of **US companies that just raised private capital** — straight from official **SEC Form D** filings. No login, no API key.

A new Form D filing is one of the highest-intent **GTM buying signals** there is: a company just closed a private funding round and is about to spend. This Actor turns EDGAR's raw filings into a structured lead list you can push into your CRM, a Clay table, or a cold-email tool.

### What you get

For every Form D filing in your date range:

- **Company** (issuer name)
- **Amount raised** — total offering amount and amount sold (USD)
- **Industry group** (Technology, Health, Bio, etc.)
- **Location** — city and state/country
- **Executives** — named directors/officers with their roles
- **Filing link** to the source document on SEC.gov

### Inputs

| Field | What it does |
|---|---|
| Start / End date | Filed-on window (defaults to the last 7 days) |
| Keyword | Full-text filter (a technology, city, or company name) |
| Issuer state | 2-letter state/country to keep (CA, NY, DE…) |
| Industry contains | Keep only matching industry groups |
| Minimum offering amount | Drop small raises |
| Exclude investment funds | Keep operating companies (better for B2B GTM) |
| Max results | Cap the run |

### Example uses

- **Sales** — build a weekly list of newly funded tech companies in California raising over $1M.
- **Recruiting** — catch startups that just raised and are about to hire.
- **VC / research** — monitor private funding activity by industry and geography.

### Output (sample)

```json
{
  "company": "Duodata Inc",
  "amountOffered": 1250000,
  "amountSold": 1250000,
  "industry": "Technology",
  "city": "San Francisco",
  "state": "CA",
  "executives": [{ "name": "Jane Doe", "role": "Director" }],
  "filingUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/..."
}
```

### Notes

- Data comes from the public SEC EDGAR full-text search and each filing's Form D `primary_doc.xml`.
- *Exclude investment funds* is on by default to keep operating companies.
- Pay-per-event pricing — you only pay when you run it.

# Actor input Schema

Filed on/before this date. Defaults to today.

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

Full-text keyword to narrow filings (e.g. a technology, city, or company name). Leave blank for all Form D filings in the date range.

## `state` (type: `string`):

2-letter issuer state or country to keep (e.g. CA, NY, DE). Blank = all.

## `industry` (type: `string`):

Keep only filings whose industry group contains this text (e.g. 'Technology', 'Health', 'Bio'). Blank = all.

## `minOfferingAmount` (type: `integer`):

Keep only raises at or above this total offering amount.

## `excludeFunds` (type: `boolean`):

Drop pooled investment funds / real-estate / VC vehicles to keep operating companies (better for B2B GTM).

## `excludeAmendments` (type: `boolean`):

  "excludeAmendments": false,
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

# 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 = {
    "startdt": "",
    "enddt": "",
    "query": "",
    "state": "",
    "industry": ""
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("agency-shift/funding-signal-scraper").call(input);

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,agency-shift/funding-signal-scraper"
        }
    }

```

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).
