Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. 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. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use 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 RIA New Registrations Scraper Pulls newly registered Registered Investment Advisers (RIAs) from the SEC's monthly bulk data export. Useful for identifying small, founder-led investment firms at the moment of registration — before they appear on any lead list. ### Data Source SEC Investment Adviser bulk data: [sec.gov](https://www.sec.gov/data-research/sec-markets-data/information-about-registered-investment-advisers-exempt-reporting-advisers) Updated monthly by the SEC. No API key required. ### Output Fields | Field | Description | |---|---| | firm_name | Primary business name | | legal_name | Legal registered name | | website | Website URL from ADV filing | | phone | Main office phone | | city | Main office city | | state | Main office state (2-letter) | | employee_count | Total employees (Form ADV field 5A) | | registration_date | SEC approval date | | latest_filing_date | Most recent ADV filing date | | sec_number | SEC registration number | | crd_number | FINRA CRD number | | firm_type | Registration type | ### Input Options | Parameter | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | maxDaysRegistered | 90 | Only firms registered within this many days | | maxEmployees | 50 | Max employee count (0 = no filter) | | usOnly | true | US firms only | | requireWebsite | true | Only firms with a website listed | | states | [] | Filter by state codes e.g. CA, NY (empty = all) | | maxLeads | 200 | Max results to return | ### Notes - Employee count is self-reported by the firm on their Form ADV filing. - Website and phone are from the ADV filing — may need verification. - Principal/CEO name is not in this dataset. Enrich with Apollo or Clay using the website domain. # Actor input Schema ## `maxDaysRegistered` (type: `integer`): Only include firms registered with the SEC within this many days. E.g. 90 = last 3 months. ## `maxEmployees` (type: `integer`): Only include firms with this many employees or fewer (Form ADV field 5A). Set to 0 to disable filter. ## `usOnly` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, only return firms with a US main office address. ## `requireWebsite` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, only return firms that have a website listed on their ADV filing. ## `states` (type: `array`): Limit results to specific US states. Use 2-letter codes e.g. CA, NY, TX. Leave empty for all states. ## `fetchAdv` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, fetches the firm's Form ADV Part 1 Schedule A to extract the owner/principal first name, last name, and title. Adds ~3 seconds per firm. ## `verifyWebsite` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, actually visits each website to confirm it loads. Filters out dead domains and social media profile URLs. Adds ~30 seconds to runtime. ## `maxLeads` (type: `integer`): Maximum number of leads to return. ## Actor input object example ```json { "maxDaysRegistered": 90, "maxEmployees": 50, "usOnly": true, "requireWebsite": true, "states": [], "fetchAdv": true, "verifyWebsite": true, "maxLeads": 200 } ```` # Actor output Schema ## `firm_name` (type: `string`): Primary business name of the RIA firm. ## `legal_name` (type: `string`): Legal registered name of the firm. ## `website` (type: `string`): Firm website URL from ADV filing. ## `phone` (type: `string`): Main office phone number. ## `city` (type: `string`): Main office city. ## `state` (type: `string`): Main office state (2-letter code). ## `employee_count` (type: `string`): Total number of employees reported on Form ADV (field 5A). ## `registration_date` (type: `string`): Date the firm was approved as a registered investment adviser. ## `latest_filing_date` (type: `string`): Date of the firm's most recent Form ADV filing. ## `sec_number` (type: `string`): SEC registration number. ## `crd_number` (type: `string`): FINRA CRD number for the firm. ## `firm_type` (type: `string`): Firm registration type (e.g. Registered, Exempt Reporting Adviser). ## `domain` (type: `string`): Cleaned domain extracted from the website URL. ## `owner_first_name` (type: `string`): First name of the principal owner/executive from Form ADV Part 1 Schedule A. ## `owner_last_name` (type: `string`): Last name of the principal owner/executive from Form ADV Part 1 Schedule A. ## `owner_title` (type: `string`): Title or role of the principal owner from Form ADV Part 1 Schedule A. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
