## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

DFM Announcements Scraper turns public Dubai Financial Market disclosures into source-backed rows for investor-research teams, finance-data products, and market-monitoring workflows. Choose English or Arabic, select the relevant feed, and retain the official source links with every announcement.

### 🔍 What does DFM Announcements Scraper do?

It collects public DFM market and derivatives announcements. Each result retains the published headline, issuer context, reporting details, and official document links when DFM supplies them.

Use the market announcements view for a broad watchlist. Use issuer disclosures for company research, official documents for attachment-heavy work, and disclosure changes for scheduled monitoring.

### 🎯 Why use it?

- **I am an equity-research analyst** watching selected issuers so I can review public disclosures without revisiting the DFM feed throughout the day.
- **I am a finance-data product manager** collecting source-backed announcements, issuer symbols, and document links for a downstream research workflow.
- **I am an investor-relations researcher** following reporting periods, dividend dates, and issuer notices with the original DFM page beside every row.
- **I manage a market-monitoring workflow** and need scheduled runs to save only new or updated disclosures for each separate watchlist.

### ❓ FAQ

##### Does DFM Announcements Scraper need a DFM account?

No. It collects only announcements and document links that DFM publishes publicly. It does not request account credentials or access private material.

##### How fresh are the DFM announcements?

Each run requests the current matching public feed. Schedule the same focused task when you need recurring monitoring.

##### Can I receive only new DFM disclosures?

Yes. Turn on `incrementalMode` and use a distinct `stateName` for each watchlist. Later runs save new or updated records unless you choose unchanged announcements too.

##### كيف يمكنني متابعة إعلانات سوق دبي المالي؟

Choose Arabic as the source language, set a focused filter, and run the Actor. The dataset keeps the official source details DFM returns.

### ⚖️ Responsible use

This Actor returns publicly visible DFM announcements for research and monitoring. Confirm material decisions against the original DFM publication and follow applicable laws and source terms.
