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 ## Executive Changes Tracker — New CEO/CFO/Exec Alerts **Job-change trigger leads without LinkedIn** — newly announced executive appointments, departures and promotions from **mandatory SEC disclosures and official press releases**. ToS-clean and GDPR-defensible: statutory public disclosures and syndication-intended newswire releases, never contact-detail scraping. > Source-cited senior appointment triggers — API-first, no CRM contract, no contact enrichment, pay only for records. When a company gets a new CEO, CFO or VP of Sales, budgets move, stacks get reviewed and agencies get hired. US public companies **must** file an 8-K Item 5.02 within 4 business days of any senior officer or director change — this actor turns that legal obligation (plus official newswire people-moves releases) into clean, source-cited trigger leads. ### Who uses this - **B2B sales / GTM engineers** — "new exec in role" is one of the highest-converting outreach triggers. Clean JSON output is Clay- and webhook-friendly: pipe records straight into enrichment tables or sequences. - **Recruiters** — every departure record is an open seat; every appointment is a fresh decision-maker to pitch. - **PR & agencies** — new CMOs/CEOs review agencies in their first 100 days. - **Investors & analysts** — systematic monitoring of leadership churn across filers. ### Sources (all legal/official — explicitly NOT LinkedIn) | Source | What | Coverage | |---|---|---| | `sec` | SEC EDGAR full-text search for 8-K **Item 5.02** filings (Departure/Election of Directors; Appointment of Officers), item-code verified, primary document parsed | US public companies, statutory, ~20-60 filings/day | | `newswires` | GlobeNewswire **Directors and Officers** people-moves feed (official corporate press releases) | Public + private companies, global, most recent releases | | Companies House (opt-in) | UK statutory officer appointments/resignations for company numbers you watch — **only when you supply your own free API key**; skipped otherwise | UK registered companies | PR Newswire and Business Wire subject feeds are not included: PRN's personnel RSS redirects to a generic all-news feed and Business Wire's feed has been deactivated (verified empirically). The SEC + GlobeNewswire pair already yields deep, verifiable coverage. ### Output One record per detected person-level change (dates in ISO `YYYY-MM-DD`): ```json { "source": "sec", "company": "Coronado Global Resources Inc.", "ticker": "CODQL", "cik": "0001770561", "person": "Sandeep Deoji", "role": "CFO", "changeType": "appointed", "announcedDate": "2026-07-14", "effectiveDate": "2026-08-01", "headline": "8-K Item 5.02 — Coronado Global Resources Inc.", "url": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1770561/000110465926083237/tm2620319d1_8k.htm", "snippet": "...the Board appointed Sandeep Deoji, the Company's current Vice President, Group Financial Control, to serve as the Company's Interim Chief Financial Officer...", "confidence": "high", "dedupeKey": "coronadoglobalresourcesinc|sandeepdeoji|cfo|appointed" } ```` - `changeType`: `appointed` | `departed` | `promoted` | `unknown` (ambiguous filings are kept as `unknown` rather than dropped). - `confidence`: `high` (person + role + change verb all matched), `medium` (partial match), `low` (no person extracted — the record is kept with `snippet` + `url` so you can verify in one click). - `dedupeKey`: stable slug of company+person+role+changeType — records are deduped across sources within a run; use it to dedupe across your own runs too. - `snippet`: ≤300-char evidence excerpt. We sell event metadata + source URL + short evidence — never article text. - Person-name extraction is heuristic (capitalized-name-near-role-keyword). Compensation-only and amendment 8-K filings are filtered out. ### Input | Field | Default | Description | |---|---|---| | `daysBack` | `3` | Days of announcements to scan (1-30) | | `roles` | all senior roles | CEO, CFO, COO, CTO, CIO, CMO, CHRO, President, Chairman, Vice President, Head of, Managing Director, General Counsel, Board Director | | `sources` | `["sec","newswires"]` | Which sources to scan | | `maxItems` | `100` | Stop after this many records | | `companiesHouseApiKey` | *(empty)* | Optional, secret. Enables the UK Companies House source | | `companiesHouseCompanyNumbers` | `[]` | UK company numbers to watch (used only with a key) | **The default run needs NO API keys and returns real records** (typically 50-100+ for the last 3 days). ### Compliance & data minimization - **What is collected:** person name + role + company + dates + the public source URL. **Never** emails, phone numbers, home addresses, or any contact details — no enrichment, no cross-referencing. - **Where it comes from:** statutory filings (SEC EDGAR — US government public-domain data; UK Companies House statutory register) and official corporate press releases distributed for syndication. No LinkedIn, no social scraping, no logins, no cookies. - **Retention:** records live only in your run's dataset; the actor keeps nothing beyond it. - **Removal/suppression:** if a data subject asks you to remove them, delete the record from your systems — and note the original disclosure remains in the public statutory source. Suppression requests relating to this actor's listing can be sent to the author via the Apify issue tab. - **Your obligations:** if you use these triggers for direct outreach, you are the controller for that processing — GDPR Art. 14 transparency and right-to-object handling are on you. This actor's design (statutory/press sources, no contact data) is built to keep the *sourcing* side defensible. ### SEC fair access Every SEC request sends a descriptive `User-Agent` and the actor stays well under the SEC's 10 req/s fair-access ceiling (throttled to <4 req/s with retries + exponential backoff). Per-source failures are tolerated; the run only fails if **all** sources fail. ### Suggested pricing (for operators renting this actor) Pay-per-result at **$0.05-$0.10 per qualified record** fits this data: these are timing-sensitive trigger leads (a new CFO is worth a sequence, not a spreadsheet row), and Apify is retiring rental pricing in 2026 — pay-per-result/pay-per-event is the forward-compatible model. A free sample angle works well: e.g. the last 48 hours / first 25 records free, paid beyond that. # Actor input Schema ## `daysBack` (type: `integer`): How many days of announcements to scan (1-30). SEC 8-K Item 5.02 filings are date-filtered; the newswire feed covers roughly the most recent 1-3 days. ## `roles` (type: `array`): Only keep changes for these senior roles. Recognized values: CEO, CFO, COO, CTO, CIO, CMO, CHRO, President, Chairman, Vice President, Head of, Managing Director, General Counsel, Board Director (free-text like "Chief Executive" also works). Leave as-is for all senior roles. ## `sources` (type: `array`): Which sources to scan: "sec" (SEC EDGAR 8-K Item 5.02 statutory disclosures) and/or "newswires" (GlobeNewswire Directors & Officers people-moves feed). ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Stop after this many executive-change records (most recent first). ## `companiesHouseApiKey` (type: `string`): Optional. Free key from developer.company-house.gov.uk enables the UK Companies House officers source for the company numbers listed below. Leave empty to skip — the default run needs NO keys. ## `companiesHouseCompanyNumbers` (type: `array`): Optional. UK Companies House company numbers (e.g. 00000006) whose officer appointments/resignations should be checked. Used only when an API key is provided. ## Actor input object example ```json { "daysBack": 3, "roles": [ "CEO", "CFO", "COO", "CTO", "CIO", "CMO", "CHRO", "President", "Chairman", "Vice President", "Head of", "Managing Director", "General Counsel", "Board Director" ], "sources": [ "sec", "newswires" ], "maxItems": 100, "companiesHouseCompanyNumbers": [] } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
