## What's an Apify Actor?

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).

## SEC XBRL Financial Data — Company Facts & Frame Data

Download structured XBRL financial data from the SEC EDGAR public API. Two modes: pull all accounting data for specific companies by ticker or CIK, or retrieve a cross-company snapshot of any single financial concept for a reporting period.

### Modes

#### `company-facts` (default)
Fetch all XBRL facts (or a filtered subset) for one or more companies.

```json
{
  "mode": "company-facts",
  "tickers": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "GOOGL"],
  "concepts": ["Assets", "Revenues", "NetIncomeLoss"],
  "taxonomies": ["us-gaap"],
  "unitsFilter": ["USD"],
  "maxRecordsPerCompany": 100
}
````

#### `frame-data`

Get all companies' reported value for a single concept in a specific period.

```json
{
  "mode": "frame-data",
  "taxonomy": "us-gaap",
  "concept": "Assets",
  "unit": "USD",
  "period": "CY2023Q4I"
}
```

### Example output record (company-facts)
