## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper — official filing history for any US-listed company

Pulls the complete filing history of any company registered with the **U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission**, straight from EDGAR's official data service. Give it tickers; it resolves them to CIK numbers, fetches every filing, and returns clean rows with **direct links to the filed documents**.

### Output

```json
{
  "cik": 320193,
  "ticker": "AAPL",
  "companyName": "Apple Inc.",
  "exchanges": ["Nasdaq"],

  "reportDate": "2026-07-31",
  "acceptanceDateTime": "2026-08-01T16:30:12.000Z",
  "primaryDocDescription": "8-K",
  "items": "2.02,9.01",
  "isXBRL": true,
  "accessionNumber": "0000320193-26-000075",
  "documentUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019326000075/aapl-20260731.htm",
  "filingIndexUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019326000075/0000320193-26-000075-index.htm"
}
```

### Input

- **tickers** — `AAPL`, `MSFT`, `NVDA`… resolved via the SEC's official ticker index
- **ciks** — CIK numbers for companies without a ticker
- **formTypes** — `10-K`, `10-Q`, `8-K`, `S-1`, `4`, `13F-HR`… leave empty for everything
- **dateFrom / dateTo** — filing-date window
- **includeOlder** — go back to the company's very first EDGAR filing
- **maxItemsPerCompany** — result cap per company

### Use cases

- **Investment research:** monitor 10-K / 10-Q / 8-K flow for a watchlist and get the document URL the moment it appears
- **AI and LLM pipelines:** build a corpus of primary financial documents with clean metadata
- **Compliance & due diligence:** verify a counterparty's filing history, incorporation state and SIC industry
- **Insider-trading signals:** pull Form 4 filings for a company or an entire portfolio
- **Fund tracking:** pull 13F-HR filings to follow institutional positions

### Notes

Uses the SEC's official `data.sec.gov` submissions service — public, no API key. Requests carry a descriptive user agent as SEC policy requires. Company metadata (SIC, exchanges, incorporation state) is attached to every filing row so the output is ready for grouping and filtering. Data is as published by filers; this is not investment advice.

# Actor input Schema

## `tickers` (type: `array`):

Stock tickers to fetch filings for, e.g. AAPL, MSFT, NVDA. Resolved to CIK numbers using the SEC's official ticker index.

## `ciks` (type: `array`):

Optional CIK numbers to fetch directly, e.g. 320193. Use this for companies without a ticker.

## `formTypes` (type: `array`):

Filter by SEC form type, e.g. 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, 4, 13F-HR. Leave empty for all forms.

## `dateFrom` (type: `string`):

Earliest filing date, format YYYY-MM-DD. Leave empty for no lower bound.

## `dateTo` (type: `string`):

Latest filing date, format YYYY-MM-DD. Leave empty for no upper bound.

## `includeOlder` (type: `boolean`):

Also fetch the archived filing blocks, going back to the company's first EDGAR filing. Slower but complete.

## `maxItemsPerCompany` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of filings to store for each company.

## `proxy` (type: `object`):

Optional proxy. The SEC EDGAR APIs are public and usually reachable without one.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "tickers": [
    "AAPL",
    "MSFT"
  ],
  "formTypes": [
    "10-K",
    "10-Q",
    "8-K"
  ],
  "includeOlder": false,
  "maxItemsPerCompany": 100
}
```

# 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 = {
    "tickers": [
        "AAPL",
        "MSFT"
    ],
    "formTypes": [
        "10-K",
        "10-Q",
        "8-K"
    ],
    "maxItemsPerCompany": 100
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("gmpsignal/sec-edgar-filings").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

run_input = {
    "tickers": [

    "MSFT"
  ],
  "formTypes": [
    "10-K",

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,gmpsignal/sec-edgar-filings"
        }
    }
}
```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
