## 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 Filings Monitor

Monitor SEC filings the moment you care about them. Point this Actor at tickers, CIK numbers, form types, or keywords and get back clean, structured filing records with direct links to the documents — ready for spreadsheets, alerts, LLM pipelines, or your own database.

Built on the SEC's official free EDGAR APIs. No credentials, no scraping of third-party sites, no rate-limit games — this Actor identifies itself to the SEC and stays well inside their published fair-access policy.

### What it does

- **Company feeds** — give it tickers (`AAPL`, `BRK-B`) or CIK numbers and it returns those companies' recent filings, filtered by form type and lookback window.
- **Keyword watch** — give it phrases (`"cybersecurity incident"`, `"material weakness"`, `"going concern"`) and it runs EDGAR full-text search across all filers (filings since 2001), optionally scoped to your companies and forms.
- Each record includes: company name, ticker, CIK, form type, filing date, accession number, a link to the filing index page, and a direct link to the primary document.

### Common uses

- Watch your portfolio's 8-Ks and 10-Qs without refreshing EDGAR.
- Alert on risk language ("material weakness", "restatement", "SEC investigation") across the whole market.
- Track insider activity (Form 4) or activist stakes (13D/13G) for specific companies.
- Feed fresh filings into a RAG pipeline or research workflow.

### Input

| Field | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `companies` | Tickers and/or CIK numbers. Empty = keyword search across all filers. |
| `formTypes` | e.g. `8-K`, `10-K`, `10-Q`, `4`, `13D`, `S-1`. Empty = all forms. Amendments (`8-K/A`) match their base form. |
| `keywords` | Phrases for full-text search. Empty = plain company feeds. |
| `lookbackDays` | Only filings from the last N days (default 30). |
| `maxResults` | Cap on returned records — this is what you're billed on. |

### Output

One dataset item per filing:

```json
{
  "cik": "0000320193",
  "companyName": "Apple Inc.",
  "ticker": "AAPL",
  "formType": "8-K",
  "filedAt": "2026-08-30",
  "accessionNumber": "0000320193-26-000010",
  "filingIndexUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019326000010/0000320193-26-000010-index.htm",
  "primaryDocumentUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019326000010/a8k.htm",
  "matchedKeyword": null
}
```

### Pricing

Pay per event: a small charge per run start plus a per-filing-record charge. You control cost directly with `maxResults`.

### Fair use & disclaimers

Data comes from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's public EDGAR system. This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC. It respects the SEC's fair-access guidelines (declared User-Agent, throttled requests). Nothing this Actor returns is investment advice.

    "MSFT"
  ],
  "formTypes": [

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,anywhere-web-repair/edgar-filings-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).
