## 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

**Get SEC Company Financials Scraper - XBRL Facts results as clean JSON, CSV or Excel, from the Apify API or on a schedule. No login, about $1.40 for 1,000 results.**

### What does SEC Company Financials Scraper - XBRL Facts do?

**SEC Company Financials Scraper - XBRL Facts** extracts structured data from **[data.sec.gov](https://data.sec.gov)**. Collect the financial facts US companies report to the SEC in XBRL (revenue, net income, EPS, assets, cash and any other us-gaap, ifrs-full or dei concept), from the SEC's public company-facts API: one clean record per company, metric and period with the latest reported value, its filing, fiscal year and quarter, and restatements flagged, watched for new periods and restated values. It works
as an **API for data.sec.gov data**: run it from Apify Console, on a schedule, or from your own code, and get clean,
typed JSON with numbers as numbers and dates in ISO 8601.

### What you get

| | |
|---|---|
| **Data** | 22 fields per item: `factId`, `cik`, `company`, `taxonomy`, `concept`, `label`, ... |
| **Formats** | JSON, CSV, Excel, HTML, or the Apify API |
| **Price** | $1.40 per 1,000 results, pay per result |
| **Access** | Public data.sec.gov data only: no login, no cookies, robots.txt respected |
| **Licence** | SEC public information: 'free to access and reuse' and 'may be copied or further distributed ... without the SEC's permission' (please cite the SEC as the source). Not affiliated with or approved by the SEC. |

### Why use SEC Company Financials Scraper - XBRL Facts?

- **Analysts and researchers**: export the data to a spreadsheet or database.
- **Developers**: call it from your own code through the Apify API.
- **Monitoring**: run it on a schedule and compare results over time.
- **AI agents and RAG**: give an LLM live structured data.

Main features:

- Gets each source's results in as few requests as possible and stops at `maxItems` results.
- Filters: `companies` (companies), `concepts` (metrics), `allConcepts` (all metrics), `forms` (forms), `fiscalYearFrom` (from fiscal year), `onlyChanges` (only changes since the last run), so you only get (and pay for) the results you need.
- Polite by default: respects robots.txt, at most `maxConcurrency` parallel requests and a delay between requests.
- Checks every result against field validators, so layout changes show up as clear data-quality warnings.
- Runs on the Apify platform: scheduling, API access, integrations, monitoring and datasets you can export.

3. Set **Max items** to the number of results you need.
4. Click **Start** and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download the results from the Output tab, or fetch them with the API.

### How much will it cost to scrape data.sec.gov?

This Actor is priced **per result**: $1.40 per 1,000 results, with no extra charge for platform usage. That is about $1.40 for 1,000 results: 100 results cost $0.14 and 10,000 results cost $14.00. Set a maximum cost per run and the Actor stops when it is reached.

### Input

### Integrations and API

- **Apify API**: start a run and get the results in one HTTP request:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/compass_lab~sec-company-facts-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" -d '{"companies": ["AAPL", "MSFT"], "fiscalYearFrom": 2023, "maxItems": 400}'
```

- **Python** (`pip install apify-client`):

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>")
run = client.actor("compass_lab/sec-company-facts-scraper").call(run_input={"companies": ["AAPL", "MSFT"], "fiscalYearFrom": 2023, "maxItems": 400})
for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)
```

- **JavaScript** (`npm install apify-client`):

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '<YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN>' });
const run = await client.actor('compass_lab/sec-company-facts-scraper').call({"companies": ["AAPL", "MSFT"], "fiscalYearFrom": 2023, "maxItems": 400});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
```

- **Make, Zapier, n8n, Google Sheets, webhooks**: use the Apify integrations (Integrations tab) to send each
  run's results where you need them, or to start a run from your workflow.
- **Schedules**: run it hourly, daily or weekly from Apify Console (Schedules) and always have fresh results.

### Tips and advanced options

- Keep **Max items** and **Max pages** as low as you need: fewer pages means a faster, cheaper run.
- Raise **Delay between requests** if the site responds slowly; keep **Max concurrency** low to stay polite.
- Missing values are `null`. Fields that often come back empty are listed in the run log as data-quality warnings.
- **Watch for changes**: every record has `changeType` (`new`, `changed` or `unchanged` compared with the last run
  with the same input) and `changes` (`{"field": {"from": ..., "to": ...}}`). Schedule the Actor with **Only changes
  since the last run** on to get, and pay for, only what moved. `new` means new to this input: not returned by an
  earlier run with the same filters. The last snapshot is kept in a named key-value store called
  `<actor-name>-watch-<id>` (the run log prints its name); delete it, or change the input, to start over.

### FAQ, disclaimers and support

#### Is it legal to scrape data.sec.gov?

D91 (Mouad, 2026-10-04) confirmed the SEC line, covering the missing robots.txt on data.sec.gov; www.sec.gov robots.txt allows /files/. SEC: public filing content 'free to access and reuse'; limit 10 requests per second (we stay far below), declared User-Agent with contact email. D93: no 'EDGAR'.

The data is published under the **SEC public information: 'free to access and reuse' and 'may be copied or further distributed ... without the SEC's permission' (please cite the SEC as the source). Not affiliated with or approved by the SEC.**: you may reuse it, including commercially, provided you credit the source as the licence requires.

Our Actors are ethical and do not extract any private user data, such as email addresses, gender, or location.
They only extract what the user has chosen to share publicly. We therefore believe that our Actors, when used
for ethical purposes by Apify users, are safe. However, you should be aware that your results could contain
personal data. Personal data is protected by the GDPR in the European Union and by other regulations around the
world. You should not scrape personal data unless you have a legitimate reason to do so. If you're unsure whether
your reason is legitimate, consult your lawyers.

#### How many results can I get?

Up to `maxItems` per run (0 means no limit), as many as the source lists. Each result is one dataset item, and
you are only charged for items that are saved.

#### Can I run it on a schedule or from my own code?

Yes. Schedule it in Apify Console (Schedules), or call it with the `run-sync-get-dataset-items` endpoint or the
Python/JavaScript clients shown in **Integrations and API** above.

#### What are the limitations?

- None identified so far.

#### Where can I get help?

Report problems or ideas on the Issues tab. To call this Actor from your own code, see the API tab.
