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.

Parses the actual InfoTable.xml from EDGAR filings for holdings data. --- ### What It Does - **topFilers** — Fetch the 18 largest institutional investors' most recent 13F filings (CIKs hardcoded for reliability) - **filerSearch** — Search any institution by name via EDGAR's full-text search - **filerHoldings** — Get the full list of stocks held by any institution (by CIK), parsed from the raw SEC InfoTable XML --- ### Input | Field | Type | Default | Description | |-------|------|---------|-------------| | `mode` | select | `topFilers` | Which data to fetch (see modes above) | | `cik` | string | — | SEC CIK number — required for `filerHoldings` (e.g. `1067983` for Berkshire) | | `searchQuery` | string | — | Company name — required for `filerSearch` (e.g. `BlackRock`) | | `maxItems` | integer | `20` | Maximum records to return (1–200) | --- ### Output #### topFilers / filerSearch ```json { "filerName": "BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC", "cik": "0001067983", "latestFilingDate": "2025-02-14", "reportPeriod": "2024-12-31", "accessionNo": "0001067983-25-000001", "filingUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=1067983&type=13F-HR&dateb=&owner=include&count=1", "dataSource": "sec.gov", "recordType": "filer", "scrapedAt": "2025-06-11T10:00:00+00:00" } ```` #### filerHoldings ```json { "filerName": "BERKSHIRE HATHAWAY INC", "cik": "0001067983", "reportPeriod": "2024-12-31", "issuerName": "APPLE INC", "titleOfClass": "COM", "cusip": "037833100", "valueThousands": 174511977, "shares": 915560382, "shareType": "SH", "investmentDiscretion": "SOLE", "dataSource": "sec.gov", "recordType": "holding", "scrapedAt": "2025-06-11T10:00:00+00:00" } ``` #### Output Fields | Field | Description | |-------|-------------| | `filerName` | Institution name as registered with SEC | | `cik` | 10-digit SEC CIK (zero-padded) | | `latestFilingDate` | Date the 13F-HR was filed | | `reportPeriod` | Quarter end date covered by the filing | | `accessionNo` | EDGAR accession number (with dashes) | | `filingUrl` | Direct link to the filing on SEC.gov | | `issuerName` | Stock/issuer name (holdings mode) | | `titleOfClass` | Share class e.g. COM, SHS (holdings mode) | | `cusip` | CUSIP identifier (holdings mode) | | `valueThousands` | Market value in thousands of USD (holdings mode) | | `shares` | Number of shares held (holdings mode) | | `shareType` | SH (shares) or PRN (principal amount) | | `investmentDiscretion` | SOLE, SHARED, or OTHER | | `dataSource` | Always `sec.gov` | *** ### Example Inputs #### Get top 18 institutional filers ```json {"mode": "topFilers", "maxItems": 18} ``` #### Search for Fidelity filers ```json {"mode": "filerSearch", "searchQuery": "Fidelity", "maxItems": 10} ``` #### Get Berkshire Hathaway's full portfolio ```json {"mode": "filerHoldings", "cik": "1067983", "maxItems": 100} ``` #### Get Vanguard's full portfolio ```json {"mode": "filerHoldings", "cik": "102909", "maxItems": 100} ``` *** ### Data Source All data comes directly from the **U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC)** via: - `https://data.sec.gov/submissions/` — institution metadata and filing history - `https://efts.sec.gov/LATEST/search-index` — full-text filing search - `https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/` — raw filing documents (InfoTable.xml) 13F filings are required quarterly for institutions managing over $100M in US equities.
