## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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 Rule Releases

Normalize an exact SEC rule-release page into an evidence-bound
`secPolicyEvent` record with explicit proposal, adoption, amendment, date, and
source semantics.

### What this Actor gives you

- structured rule-release identifiers, titles, dates, topics, and documents
- deterministic event and policy-matter IDs
- direct SEC source and evidence references
- explicit separation of proposals from adopted or effective rules
- structured `SUMMARY` and bounded `ERRORS` records

Release 0.1's production-confirmed path is `queryMode: "releaseNumber"` against
the official SEC rule-release route. File-number, topic, publication-window,
guidance, no-action, SRO, petition, and comment discovery remain
schema-declared but are not advertised as production-confirmed in this
release.

### Example input

```json
{
  "queries": [
    {
      "requestId": "rule-33-11431",
      "queryMode": "releaseNumber",
      "releaseNumber": "33-11431",
      "detailKinds": ["adoption"]
    }
  ],
  "maxResults": 1,
  "maxSourceRequests": 4,
  "maxDownloadBytes": 2097152,
  "outputSchemaVersion": "1.0",
  "outputMode": "full"
}
```

### Output

```json
{
  "schemaVersion": "1.0",
  "recordType": "secPolicyEvent",
  "recordId": "sec-policy:...",
  "requestIds": ["rule-33-11431"],
  "coverageStatus": "complete",
  "source": [],
  "warnings": [],
  "data": {
    "detailKind": "adoption",
    "releaseNumbers": ["33-11431"],
    "publishedAt": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "effectiveAt": null,
    "documents": [],
    "evidence": []
  }
}
```

Successful records go to the default Dataset. `SUMMARY` and `ERRORS` are
separate default Key-Value Store records.

### SEC Complete Data Suite

This is the policy-semantics layer above
`sec-regulatory-publication-catalog` and a source for
`sec-regulatory-risk-aggregator` and `sec-company-dossier-aggregator`. It does
not run another Actor.

### Limits, runtime, and cost

Runs are bounded to 20 queries, 5,000 records, 500 SEC requests, and
104,857,600 downloaded bytes. Runtime and the price shown by Apify depend on
the number and size of release pages fetched and records emitted.

### Trust and limitations

- A proposal is never represented as effective law.
- A no-action letter is not a general rule; a public comment is not an SEC
  position.
- No legal interpretation, compliance decision, or investment advice.
- This independent community Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the
  U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

For support, use the Actor's Issues tab and include the run ID and bounded
input. Never post tokens or private data.

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("bb-tradetec/sec-rulemaking-and-guidance-normalizer").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);
});
