## Pricing

from $10.00 / 1,000 get ipo detail + prospectuses

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## 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).


# README

## Indian IPO Tracker — API & MCP server

A **fast read API** and **MCP server** for Indian IPO data — mainboard & SME, from DRHP filing to
listing. It serves a canonical Postgres store that's kept fresh by the [Indian IPO Tracker](https://apify.com/contented_academy/indian-ipo-tracker)
batch actor, so responses are **sub-second** instead of a full live scrape.

Covers: SEBI DRHP filings, grey-market premium (GMP), live subscription multiples, lifecycle status,
calendar dates (open / close / listing), full issue terms (price band, lot size, min investment,
fresh-issue vs OFS), basis-of-allotment + anchor book, listing prices, and parsed prospectus
financials (revenue / EBITDA / PAT, use of proceeds, lead managers).

Two ways to call it:

- **Run-based (recommended for AI agents via the Apify MCP):** call the Actor with an `action` input
  (e.g. `{ "action": "live_upcoming_listed" }`); results are written to the run's dataset. This is the
  zero-setup path for anyone who already has the Apify MCP configured.
- **Standby (always-on HTTP):** call the REST endpoints directly, or connect to its `/mcp` server.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event. You're charged per successful data request:

| Event | When |
|---|---|
| `api-list-request` | listing/searching IPOs (`GET /api/ipos`, MCP `list_ipos`) |
| `api-detail-request` | one IPO + prospectus (`GET /api/ipos/:id`, MCP `get_ipo`) |
| `api-timeline-request` | subscription/state timeline (MCP `get_ipo_timeline`) |
| `api-refresh-request` | force-refresh an IPO (premium; rate-limited) |

Health/meta calls (`/healthz`, `/api/freshness`, `get_freshness`) and `304 Not Modified` responses
are **free**.

### REST API

Base URL: `https://contented-academy--indian-ipo-tracker-api.apify.actor`
Authenticate with your Apify token (`?token=<APIFY_TOKEN>` or `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_TOKEN>`).

| Method & path | Description |
|---|---|
| `GET /api/ipos` | List/search IPOs (returns ALL matching rows, no pagination). Query: `view` (`live_upcoming` \| `live_upcoming_listed`, default), `category` (`mainboard`\|`sme`), `q` (name search), `gmp_min`, `listing_date_gte`, `listing_date_lte`. |
| `GET /api/ipos/:id` | Full record for one IPO incl. prospectus, basis-of-allotment, anchors, and latest GMP. |
| `GET /api/ipos/:id/timeline` | Subscription-bidding timeline + lifecycle state history. |
| `POST /api/ipos/:id/refresh` | Bump an IPO to the front of the refresh queue (premium, rate-limited). |
| `GET /api/events` | Recent lifecycle state-change events (paginated). |
| `GET /api/freshness` | Pipeline health snapshot (free). |
| `GET /healthz` | Liveness (free). |

Responses are cached (60 s) and carry strong `ETag`s — send `If-None-Match` to get a free `304`.

#### Example

```bash
curl "https://contented-academy--indian-ipo-tracker-api.apify.actor/api/ipos?status=SUBSCRIPTION_OPEN&category=sme&token=$APIFY_TOKEN"
````

### MCP server

Endpoint: `/mcp` (Streamable HTTP). Discoverable + callable through the Apify hosted MCP at
`https://mcp.apify.com`, or connect directly to the standby URL `…/mcp`.

| Tool | Arguments | Returns |
|---|---|---|
| `list_ipos` | `view?` (`live_upcoming`|`live_upcoming_listed`), `category?`, `q?`, `gmp_min?`, `listing_date_gte?`, `listing_date_lte?` | IPO summaries (GMP, subscription, dates, lot size) + count |
| `get_ipo` | `ipo_id` | Full IPO record incl. prospectus financials, basis-of-allotment, anchors, latest GMP |
| `get_ipo_timeline` | `ipo_id` | Subscription timeline + state history |
| `get_freshness` | — | Pipeline health snapshot (free) |
| `refresh_ipo` | `ipo_id` | Force-refresh (premium, rate-limited) |

Typical agent flow: `list_ipos` to find an `ipo_id`, then `get_ipo` for full detail.

### Run-based (call-actor)

If you call the Actor through the Apify MCP's generic `call-actor` (or the Apify API / Console), pass
an `action` and read the run's dataset:

```json
{ "action": "live_upcoming_listed", "gmp_min": 30 }
```

`action` values: `live_upcoming`, `live_upcoming_listed` (default), `get` (needs `ipo_id`),
`timeline` (needs `ipo_id`), `freshness`. List actions return ALL matching IPOs (no pagination),
ordered by lifecycle relevance (live → upcoming → listed).

### Notes

- Data is sourced from public sources (SEBI, BSE, NSE, GMP aggregators) and parsed prospectus PDFs.
  Figures are best-effort and should be verified against the official filing before any financial
  decision.
- Freshness depends on the batch tracker's worker cadence; `GET /api/freshness` reports the most
  recent update timestamps.

# Actor input Schema

## `action` (type: `string`):

What to fetch. 'live\_upcoming' = IPOs open for subscription now + the upcoming pipeline (filed/approved, not yet open). 'live\_upcoming\_listed' = the above plus recently listed IPOs (everything except withdrawn/expired). Both return ALL matching IPOs, ordered by lifecycle (live → upcoming → listed). 'get' = one IPO + prospectus (needs ipo\_id). 'timeline' = subscription + state history (needs ipo\_id). 'freshness' = pipeline health snapshot.

## `ipo_id` (type: `string`):

Canonical IPO id (required for action 'get' and 'timeline'). Obtain it from a list run.

## `category` (type: `string`):

Board type.

## `q` (type: `string`):

Case-insensitive company-name search (2-80 chars).

## `listing_date_gte` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD lower bound on listing date.

## `listing_date_lte` (type: `string`):

YYYY-MM-DD upper bound on listing date.

## `gmp_min` (type: `integer`):

Only return IPOs whose current grey-market premium is at least this many rupees.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "action": "live_upcoming_listed"
}
```
