## 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.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).

# README

## SEC EDGAR Company Filings Scraper

Fetch SEC EDGAR company profiles and recent filings (10-K, 8-K, 10-Q, Form 4 insider trades, 13F, etc.) for any US public company — from the official SEC public API.

### What it does

Given stock tickers or CIK numbers, returns:

- **Company profile**: name, tickers, exchanges, SIC code, fiscal year end, state of incorporation, registered address.
- **Recent filings**: form type, filing date, report date, primary document, direct filing URL on sec.gov.

### Why use it

- **Official source** — data comes straight from `data.sec.gov`, the SEC's public API. No third-party intermediaries.
- **No login, no API key** — public US government data.
- **Insider trades** — recent Form 4 filings reveal insider buy/sell activity.
- **Investors, researchers, analysts, fintech** — power financial dashboards, stock-tracking alerts, due-diligence, and market research.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| tickers | array<string> | Stock tickers (e.g. `["AAPL","MSFT"]`). |
| cikNumbers | array<string> | CIK numbers (e.g. `["0000320193"]`). Used if no tickers. |
| maxFilings | integer | Max recent filings per company (default 50). |
| includeCompanyInfo | boolean | Include profile (default true). |
| includeFilings | boolean | Include recent filings (default true). |

Provide at least one of `tickers` or `cikNumbers`.

### Output

One JSON record per company:

```json
{
  "cik": "0000320193",
  "companyName": "Apple Inc.",
  "profile": { "tickers": ["AAPL"], "exchanges": ["Nasdaq"], "sicDescription": "Electronic Computers", "website": "..." },
  "recentFilings": [
    { "form": "4", "filingDate": "2026-09-10", "accessionNumber": "...", "filingUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/..." }
  ]
}
```

### Usage examples

- **Insider trading monitor**: run with your watchlist tickers → detect new Form 4 filings.
- **Compliance research**: pull all recent 8-K / 10-K for a sector.
- **Company research**: enrich a database with SEC metadata (SIC, address, fiscal year).

### Fair use

Respects SEC EDGAR fair-access policy (rate limit ≤10 req/s). Data is public domain (US government works).

### Cost

Free to test (public API). Apify-hosted runs are priced per compute unit — see your Apify plan.

# 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 = {
    "tickers": [
        "AAPL"
    ],
    "cikNumbers": []
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("channel_l/sec-edgar-company-filings").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 '{
  "tickers": [
    "AAPL"
  ],
  "cikNumbers": []
}' |
apify call channel_l/sec-edgar-company-filings --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,channel_l/sec-edgar-company-filings"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
