SEC 13D/13G Issuer Watchlist Monitor

Monitor official SEC Schedule 13D, 13D/A, 13G, and 13G/A filings by issuer-name term. Receive newly observed matching filings and changed indexed source records while unchanged replays create no Actor event charge.

• Buyer: investor-relations, activist-investor research, legal/compliance, and public-company monitoring teams
• Result: one source-linked row per newly observed matching filing or changed indexed source record
• Official source: SEC EDGAR daily master index and the linked SEC filing
• First useful run: at most one current filing whose issuer name contains inc
• Maximum charge: $0.40 for the prefilled run
• Source records inspected: at most 100
• Unchanged replay: $0 in Actor event charges
• Not included: stake extraction, filer classification, ownership-percentage parsing, activist/passive scoring, legal conclusions, or investment advice

Open the bounded issuer preview or use the prefilled input in Run. Inspect the linked SEC filing before using a row in legal, compliance, trading, or investor-relations decisions.

fastest test

The Store input checks up to seven recent calendar days, scans at most 100 ownership-form index rows, returns at most one issuer-name match, and cannot create more than $0.40 in Actor event charges.

inc is deliberately broad for a one-row preview. Replace it with the issuer names you actually monitor before scheduling production runs.

illustrative output shape

Direct SEC source check—not an Actor run receipt. On November 1, 2026, the bounded preview found this official filing in the October 30 EDGAR master index:

{
  "eventType": "NEW_OWNERSHIP_FILING",
  "watchlistId": "sec-ownership-preview",
  "sourceId": "0002100121-26-001033",
  "title": "ESTEE LAUDER COMPANIES INC",
  "publishedAt": "20261030",
  "summary": "SCHEDULE 13G/A",
  "metadata": {
    "form": "SCHEDULE 13G/A",
    "cik": "1001250"
  },
  "sourceDataset": "SEC EDGAR daily master index",
  "sourceRecordUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1001250/0002100121-26-001033.txt"
}

A delivered Actor row also includes an event ID, observation time, source fingerprint, and disclaimer. publishedAt uses the EDGAR index format YYYYMMDD.

matching and state behavior

• issuerKeywords uses case-insensitive substring matching against indexed issuer text, form text, and metadata.
• forms limits collection to the selected official EDGAR master-index form names.
• baselineMode=emit_matches returns current matches; silent records current fingerprints without paid initial events.
• Keep watchlistId, filters, and stateStoreName stable between scheduled runs to suppress unchanged replays.
• A changed indexed representation of the same source ID emits SOURCE_CORRECTION; amendments normally have separate accessions and appear as new filings.
• Rows blocked by maxEvents or maxTotalChargeUsd remain eligible for a later run; they are not silently marked delivered.
• resetState=true re-baselines this watchlist for the run and can make previously observed filings eligible again.
• qualityTestMode is unbilled diagnostics only. It does not query SEC data or return business results; leave it off for buyer runs.

pricing

Pricing is for delivered monitoring events, not every filing scanned. Apify platform usage is not charged separately for this Actor.

• newly observed matching filing — $0.40
• changed indexed source record — $0.05
• silent baseline, unmatched row, unchanged replay, empty result, or source failure before settlement — $0 in Actor event charges
• bounded preview — at most $0.40

Bulk SEC extraction Actors can have substantially lower per-row prices. This Actor is positioned for persistent issuer watchlists, replay suppression, source-linked deltas, and bounded scheduled delivery—not bulk filing export.

scheduled workflow

1. preview the broad inc term with one event and a $0.40 cap;
2. replace it with target issuer names and choose stable, unique state identifiers;
3. run a production baseline with baselineMode=silent;
4. schedule daily; empty weekend and holiday windows are expected;
5. consume rows through webhooks, REST, Python or JavaScript clients, Sheets, Slack, email, or a review queue;
6. inspect the linked SEC filing before acting;
7. inspect REPORT for source URLs, source-record counts, replay suppression, cap-blocked rows, receipts, and delivery status.

source and legal limitations

The daily master index provides filing metadata—not normalized filer identity, stake percentage, shares, stated purpose, activist/passive classification, or investment interpretation. Daily indexes can be unavailable on weekends, holidays, or during SEC publication delays. Only the newest maxSourceRecords selected-form rows inside the lookback window are considered. Broad terms may have additional matches outside that bounded set, and a no-match result does not prove no relevant filing exists.

Filings are filer-submitted records and can be amended. This Actor does not independently verify a filing’s accuracy or assess whether an indexed change is legally material. It is unofficial, is not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC, and provides neither legal nor investment advice.

For reproducible support, open an Apify issue with the run ID, non-secret input, expected issuer term, and official filing URL. Never include credentials or confidential watchlists.
