## 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

## Capitol Trades Monitor — Congress Stock Trade Alerts

**Every House member's stock trades, as a structured scheduled feed** — keyless STOCK Act PTR disclosures parsed to clean rows: member, district, asset, transaction type, amount range, trade and notification dates, broker. The data QuiverQuant built a company on — at $0.001/row.

### Who it's for

- **Traders & quants** — "Pelosi just bought" is a real alpha signal; get it as structured data the day the PTR files
- **Political-intel & journalists** — watch specific members, tickers, or sectors across every new filing
- **Funds & researchers** — the legally-required disclosure record, parsed and diffed daily
- **Bot & product builders** — wire it into a congress-trades alert product (the incumbent this replaces proved 450+ runs/user)

### Modes

| Mode | What you get |
|---|---|
| **latest** | Newest House PTRs parsed to trades — member, asset, buy/sell, amount, dates |
| **member** | All PTR trades for one member (pelosi, greene, crenshaw...) |
| **search** | Recent trades matching a keyword or ticker (nvidia, treasury, AAPL) |
| **watch** | Only filings new since your last run — persists `knownDocIds` for diffs |

### Example output

```json
{
  "recordType": "trade", "member": "Hon. Rudy C. Yakym III",
  "district": "IN02", "asset": "Treasury Bill (3-month) [GS]",
  "transactionType": "PURCHASE", "transactionDate": "12/23/2025",
  "amountRange": "$15,001 - $50,000", "chamber": "house",
  "sourceUrl": ".../ptr-pdfs/2025/20033684.pdf"
}
```

### Example inputs

```json
{ "mode": "latest", "limit": 20 }
{ "mode": "member", "memberName": "pelosi" }
{ "mode": "watch", "query": "nvidia", "knownDocIds": [20033000, 20033550] }
```

### Honest scope

House disclosures only — the Senate's efdsearch site is bot-walled. House covers the headline members and the bulk of searchable demand. ~500+ PTRs/year, each parsed to real trades.

### Pricing

$0.001 per row — no subscription.

# Actor output Schema

# 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("brick_joey_yto/capitol-trades-monitor").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);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call brick_joey_yto/capitol-trades-monitor --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,brick_joey_yto/capitol-trades-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).
