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 EDGAR — Public Company Filings Search Search and retrieve public company filings from the SEC's EDGAR database. Two modes: keyword search across all filings, or pull a complete filing history for a specific company. ### Modes #### `filing-search` (default) Full-text search across all EDGAR filings. Returns matching filings with metadata — company name, CIK, form type, filing date, accession number. #### `company-filings` Retrieve all recent filings for a specific public company by CIK number or company name. ### Example input — keyword search ```json { "mode": "filing-search", "query": ""climate risk" OR "physical risk"", "forms": ["10-K"], "startDate": "2023-01-01", "endDate": "2024-12-31" } ```` ### Example input — company filings ```json { "mode": "company-filings", "companyName": "Lennar Corporation", "forms": ["10-K", "10-Q"] } ``` ### Example output record (company-filings mode) ```json { "name": "LENNAR CORP", "cik": "0000920522", "sic": "1521", "sicDescription": "General Building Contractors-Residential Buildings", "stateOfIncorporation": "DE", "form": "10-K", "filingDate": "2024-01-23", "reportDate": "2023-11-30", "accessionNumber": "0000920522-24-000006", "filingUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/full-index/0000920522-24-000006/", "isXBRL": true } ``` ### Use cases - Investment research and competitive analysis - ESG and regulatory disclosure monitoring - M\&A due diligence - Legal and compliance research - Real estate sector analysis (homebuilder filings, REIT disclosures) # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): filing-search: full-text search across all EDGAR filings. company-filings: get all filings for a specific company. ## `query` (type: `string`): Keywords to search for in filing content (filing-search mode). Supports quotes for exact phrases. ## `forms` (type: `array`): Filter by SEC form type. Examples: 10-K (annual), 10-Q (quarterly), 8-K (current events), DEF 14A (proxy), S-1 (IPO). Leave blank for all forms. ## `startDate` (type: `string`): Only return filings on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). ## `endDate` (type: `string`): Only return filings on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD). ## `cik` (type: `string`): SEC Central Index Key for the company. Find it at sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar. ## `companyName` (type: `string`): Company name to search for (if CIK not known). First match is used. ## `maxRecords` (type: `integer`): Maximum records to return. 0 = unlimited (EDGAR caps at 10,000 for search mode). ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "filing-search", "query": "\"homeowner association\" OR \"HOA\"", "forms": [ "10-K", "10-Q", "8-K" ], "startDate": "2023-01-01", "endDate": "2024-12-31", "cik": "320193", "companyName": "Apple Inc", "maxRecords": 0 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `results` (type: `string`): No description # 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 '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = {}; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("commonelements/sec-edgar").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); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
