## Pricing

Pay per event

This Actor is paid per event. You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events.

## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## 🚀 Newly Funded Startups — SEC Form D Tracker (MCP)

> Every startup private fundraise in the US — straight from the **official SEC EDGAR Form D feed**. Amount sold, offering size, industry, state, and **executive/broker contact people included FREE**. **Monitor mode = daily "who raised money yesterday" digest.** No API key. MCP-ready.

***

### ✨ Why this one

| Ingredient | What it means for you |
|---|---|
| 🔒 **Hard-to-get data** | Crunchbase charges $996+/yr for this and ToS blocks scraping. **Form D filings are the legal ground truth** — every US private securities offering must file within 15 days. ~365 new filings/day, ~200+ brand-new companies. |
| 🛠️ **Hardest problems, solved** | Daily master-index parsing (3,216 filings/day filtered to D/D-A), accession → `index.json` → `primary_doc.xml` chain, money fields safe against `"Indefinite"`, fund-vs-startup separation, state/industry/amount filters. |
| ⚙️ **Automation** | `monitor` mode + daily schedule = **"the 38 startups that raised money yesterday"** piped into your CRM/Slack. VCs, lenders, recruiters and B2B sales all pay for exactly this. |
| 🧠 **AI-agent pricing** | $0.001/start + $0.001/funding row. The funding-tracker leader charges **$0.08/item** — we are **80× cheaper**, official data, contacts free. |

### 🚀 3 recipes that pay

#### #1 — Daily "newly funded" digest (VC sourcing, BD)

```json
{ "mode": "monitor", "daysBack": 1, "excludePooledFunds": true, "includeAmendments": false, "requestDelaySecs": 0.3 }
```

→ Schedule 08:00 daily → yesterday's new raises only (KV dedupe `sec-formd-seen`) → webhook to Slack/Notion.

#### #2 — Vertical lead list (sales/recruiters)

```json
{ "mode": "search", "daysBack": 7, "industries": ["Technology"], "states": ["CA", "TX"], "minAmount": 250000, "maxFilings": 60 }
```

→ Tech companies, California+Texas, ≥$250k raised — **with founder/exec names and addresses**.

#### #3 — Competitive/coverage research

```json
{ "companyNameIncludes": "THERAPEUTICS", "daysBack": 30, "includeAmendments": true }
```

**MCP**: `https://mcp.apify.com/?actors=amygraphics/newly-funded-startups-scraper` — Claude can literally ask *"who raised seed money in Austin last week?"*

### 🆚 Competition

| Actor | 30j demand cluster | Pricing | Monitor | Contacts | Data |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| nexgendata/startup-funding-tracker | 178 tot | $0.01 + **$0.08/item** + $0.05/check | 💸 | partial | mixed |
| pink_comic/sec-form-d-leads | 13 | $0.002/item | ❌ | ❌ | SEC |
| curious_coder/crunchbase-scraper | **3 397 tot** | per-item | ❌ | paid | fragile (ToS) |
| **us** | — | **$0.001/item, contacts FREE** | ✅ KV dedupe | ✅ free | **official SEC** |

### 🧪 Input reference

| Key | Default | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `mode` | `search` | `monitor` = only new filings (KV dedupe) |
| `timeFrom`/`timeTo` | rolling `daysBack` 7 | exact window support |
| `includeAmendments` | true | D/A updates on/off |
| `excludePooledFunds` | false | drop hedge/PE funds → real startups |
| `industries`, `states`, `companyNameIncludes` | — | substring filters |
| `minAmount`, `maxAmount` | — | amount window on sold/offering |
| `maxFilings`/`maxProfiles` | 100 / 100 | politeness caps |
| `requestDelaySecs` | 0.3 | SEC fair-access pacing |

**Fair use** — SEC EDGAR data is public by law; we honor the official fair-access guidance (declarative UA, ≤10 req/s pacing, no bypass). Fundraising outreach still needs CAN-SPAM/act compliance on your side.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

search = a date window of funding filings. monitor = only filings never returned before (KV dedupe) — schedule daily for a fresh funding feed.

## `timeFrom` (type: `string`):

Start of the window (YYYY-MM-DD). If empty, a rolling 'daysBack' window is used.

## `timeTo` (type: `string`):

End of the window (YYYY-MM-DD). Default today.

## `daysBack` (type: `integer`):

Rolling window size when From is empty: e.g. 1 = yesterday+today only (daily digest), 7 = last week.

## `maxDays` (type: `integer`):

Safety cap on the window length (keeps the most recent days).

## `includeAmendments` (type: `boolean`):

Amended filings (size updates). Turn off to see only brand-new raises.

## `excludePooledFunds` (type: `boolean`):

Drop 'Pooled Investment Fund' filings so you only see real operating startups.

## `industries` (type: `array`):

Keep only these industry groups (substring match, e.g. 'Technology', 'Health Care', 'Biotechnology').

## `states` (type: `array`):

Keep only issuers in these states (code or name, e.g. 'CA', 'TX', 'New York').

## `companyNameIncludes` (type: `string`):

Keep only issuers whose name contains this text (case-insensitive).

## `minAmount` (type: `integer`):

Drop filings whose amount sold (or offering size) is below this.

## `maxAmount` (type: `integer`):

Drop filings above this amount (0 = no cap).

## `maxFilings` (type: `integer`):

Stop after this many detailed filings (~365 new Form D appear per day, one document fetch each).

## `maxProfiles` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on parsed primary documents (keeps you polite to the SEC).

## `requestDelaySecs` (type: `number`):

SEC fair-access pacing. 0.3s is a friendly default; stay below ~8-10 requests/second total.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Usually NOT needed — EDGAR works directly. Use Apify proxy only if your region is blocked.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "timeFrom": "",

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).
