## 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.

# README

## Smart Money 13F - Hedge Fund Buys, Exits & Consensus

**See what hedge funds are actually buying and selling.** Give one or more fund CIK numbers and get each fund's latest quarterly moves from SEC 13F filings - **new positions, add-ons, trims and full exits** - plus a **cross-fund consensus ranking** showing which stocks the smartest money is piling into. Not a raw holdings dump: the *signal*.

> Following "smart money" 13F activity - especially when **multiple funds buy the same stock** - is a widely-followed institutional-flow research approach. This Actor surfaces it automatically.

**Real example (from live SEC data):** *Berkshire Hathaway last quarter - **new:** Delta Air Lines ($2.6B), Alphabet ($1B); **increased:** Alphabet +204%; **exited:** Visa, UnitedHealth, Mastercard.*

### What makes it different
Existing 13F scrapers give you a static list of holdings. This Actor computes the **quarter-over-quarter change** and **cross-fund consensus**:
- **New buys** - positions a fund opened this quarter.
- **Increased / trimmed** - with % change in shares.
- **Exits** - positions fully sold.
- **Consensus & conviction** - across multiple funds, which stocks the most funds hold *and are buying* (a 0-100 conviction score).

### Who it's for
- **Retail traders & quants** - a ready-made institutional-ownership dataset for research.
- **Fintech & research apps** - drop hedge-fund activity into your product.
- **Competitive-intelligence analysts** - track what specific funds are doing each quarter.

A self-serve, pay-per-use alternative to WhaleWisdom and Quiver Quant.

### Input
| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `filerCiks` | array | SEC CIK numbers of 13F filers (e.g. `1067983` = Berkshire, `1649339` = Scion/Michael Burry, `1336528` = Pershing Square). Add several for a consensus ranking. |

### Output
- One **filer_activity** item per fund: latest portfolio value, holdings count, and lists of `new_buys`, `increased`, `decreased`, `exits` (issuer, value, % share change).
- One **consensus** item (when ≥2 funds): per stock - how many funds hold it, how many are buying, total value, and a conviction score.
- Every filer includes a `sec_url` to its 13F filings on SEC EDGAR, so you can verify in one click.

### How it works
Pulls the two most recent 13F-HR filings per fund from **SEC EDGAR** (free, public, no key), parses the official Information Table XML, and diffs them quarter-over-quarter. Clean, stable source - no anti-bot, no scraping fragility.

### Pricing
**Pay-per-event: per fund analyzed.** Analyzing 3 funds = 3 charges. You pay only for what you analyze.

### FAQ
**How fresh is it?** 13F filings are quarterly (filed ~45 days after quarter-end); this Actor always uses the latest available filing per fund.
**Where do I find a fund's CIK?** Search the fund name on the SEC EDGAR full-text search; the CIK is in the filer profile.

# Actor input Schema

## `filerCiks` (type: `array`):

One or more SEC CIK numbers of 13F filers (e.g. 1067983 = Berkshire Hathaway, 1649339 = Scion/Michael Burry, 1336528 = Pershing Square). Add several to get a cross-fund consensus ranking.

## Actor input object example

```json

# 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 '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
