Pricing

This Actor uses Apify pay-per-event pricing. The prices below come from the current Actor pricing configuration. Apify public plans map to Store discount tiers, so the table shows both the user-facing plan context and the pricing tier name. The final price shown in Apify depends on the user account plan and any custom agreement.

Event	What is charged	Price
start	One-time fee per run	$0.005

Event	What is charged	Free / no discount	Starter / Bronze	Scale / Silver	Business / Gold	Custom / Platinum	Custom / Diamond
item	Per SEC filing metadata row produced	$0.0575 / 1,000	$0.05 / 1,000	$0.039 / 1,000	$0.03 / 1,000	$0.02 / 1,000	$0.014 / 1,000

Apify may also charge platform usage for compute, storage, proxies, or data transfer outside this Actor pricing. Check the Actor run and the Apify Pricing tab for the exact cost shown to your account.

Tips For Better Results

• Use CIKs for precision: tickers can change, while CIKs are stable SEC identifiers.
• Filter forms when possible: forms keeps datasets focused and reduces noise.
• Use date windows: dateFrom and dateTo help create clean monthly, quarterly, or event-specific exports.
• Keep polite delays: SEC requests should be paced; avoid setting requestDelayMs too low for large company lists.
• Remember the scope: this Actor exports filing metadata and document links, not full parsed filing text.

• Filing metadata can change when SEC updates company submissions.

FAQ

Can I scrape full SEC filing text?

This Actor saves filing metadata and URLs to SEC documents. Use the documentUrl to fetch or process full filing documents in a separate workflow.

Can I export filings to CSV or Excel?

Yes. After the run, export the dataset from Apify as CSV, Excel, JSON, XML, or RSS.

Does this require an SEC login?

No. It uses public SEC EDGAR data.

Is this a SEC EDGAR API alternative?

It can serve as a practical API-style export for common EDGAR filing metadata workflows through Apify API, schedules, webhooks, datasets, and MCP.
