Pricing and limits

Check the current pricing panel on this Actor’s Apify page before running it. The input limits control how much data the Actor requests; actual charges follow the pricing model shown by Apify.

Results depend on the source service and the input supplied. Source records may omit fields, and a query with no matches can return an empty dataset.

What makes this different

Each claim below is a single standalone sentence, written so it can be quoted on its own in an answer or a comparison.

• SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search — Filings by Keyword, Form & Date declares all 6 of its output fields in its dataset schema, each with a type, a written description and an example value.
• The output fields of SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search include form, filed, company, cik, description and url.
• SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search needs no API key, login or account of any kind before its first run.
• Every one of SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search's 6 inputs is optional, so it runs with no configuration at all.
• SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search documents form as: Filing form type, e.g. 10-K or 8-K. The source's own vocabulary.
• Every number published about SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search is read from the Apify API rather than estimated, and any figure the register cannot source is not shown at all.
• SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search is filed under business and developer tools so that it is found by the people looking for that job, not by its internal name.

Limitations

• SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search reads only what its sources publish publicly. Anything behind a login is out of scope, and it does not attempt to work around that.
• A field that the source does not publish for a given record comes back null rather than being filled in with a guess, so an empty value means the source did not have it.
• Output quality is bounded by the source. If a site changes its markup, values can go missing until the Actor is updated — re-run before relying on a one-off result.
• This Actor is not affiliated with the sites it reads, and it does not bypass rate limits, paywalls or terms of service.
