Litigation Signals API — Lawsuits, Settlements & Investigations

Who is being sued, settling, or under investigation — per public company, one row per legal matter. Give this Actor a list of companies (names, tickers or SEC CIKs) and get back every lawsuit, class action, settlement, verdict and government investigation they disclose: the type, the status (new, ongoing, resolved), the court, the case number, the amount, the organisations on the other side, a redacted excerpt and the filing it came from. Plus one row per document read and a free summary per company. JSON, CSV or Excel.

Public companies must disclose material litigation in their SEC filings: Item 3 of the 10-K, Part II Item 1 of the 10-Q, the litigation note those items point to, and 8-Ks for anything new. Companies and plaintiffs' firms announce suits and settlements on the press wires; the SEC, the FTC the CFPB and the Department of Justice announce enforcement. This Actor reads all three — HTTP only, no browser, no login, no API key.

Company-level data only. Courts, regulators and companies stay; people never appear: a plaintiff in a caption, an executive, a judge, class counsel and signatories are replaced by [individual] or [judge] before a row is written. $5.00 per 1,000 litigation signals plus $1.00 per 1,000 documents read on the FREE tier.

This is the Store prefill; paste it and run:

{ "mode": "companies", "companies": ["Tesla", "Boeing", "Johnson & Johnson", "3M", "Coinbase"], "months": 12, "filingsPerCompany": 2, "userAgentContact": "Insight Solutions austinhughhillis@gmail.com" }

Five companies, each one's latest 10-K and newest 10-Q, their litigation 8-Ks of the last year, the press wires and the regulator feeds. On the pinned copies of those filings in our test suite the periodic filings alone give 128 signals from 6 documents — 3M's 10-Q 86 (PFAS, earplugs, respirators), Johnson & Johnson's 27 (talc, a dozen patent suits, antitrust class actions), Tesla's 12 across its 10-K and 10-Q, Coinbase 2, Boeing 1 — and a live run adds the documents the suite does not pin.

userAgentContact is required by the SEC on every request: your organisation and an address it can reach. The form pre-fills the publisher's contact so the example runs; replace it with yours.

What comes back

A signal row (from the pinned Tesla 10-Q; null columns cut):

}

filings lists both the 10-Q and the 10-K: the same matter in both is one signal, carrying the newest text.

An 8-K settlement, from the market-mode run in the suite:

{

A document row (paid) for each filing, release or notice read — signalCount, sectionChars (how much litigation text it held) and section (Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings; Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies). A free company row per input company:

  "signals": 12
}

Anything that could not be read — a name SEC does not list, a filing that moved, a feed that is down, SEC refusing the run — comes back as a free diagnostic row (errorType, error) instead of a charge.

Use cases

• Law-firm business development — which companies just got sued, in which court, over what: securities, antitrust, product liability, employment. status: new is the list of matters filed in your window.
• Insurers and underwriters — litigation load per insured or prospect: how many open matters, how many class actions, what has settled and for how much.
• Credit and supplier risk — a counterparty with a fresh class action, a DOJ inquiry or a Chapter 11 at a key supplier, before it reaches the ratings.
• Investors and analysts — every matter a filer discloses across its 10-K and 10-Qs, deduplicated, with the amounts it states, in one table per watchlist.
• Journalists and researchers — market mode surfaces the week's 8-K settlements and class actions across all filers; the regulator feeds add enforcement.

How it compares

• From the disclosures themselves. Every row points at the filing, release or notice it was read from, and the excerpt is the company's or regulator's own words. Nothing is modelled or scored from outside data.
• Matters, not mentions. A Legal Proceedings section is split into the disputes it describes, and the same dispute in a 10-K and three 10-Qs is one row listing all four filings — so counts mean something.
• Three source kinds, one schema. SEC filings, press-wire releases and regulator notices come back in the same columns, so a class action that a plaintiffs' firm announces and the company later settles in an 8-K sits in one table.
• A grade and a status on every row. confidence says what the row rests on; status says whether it is new in your window, still open or resolved.
• Company-level by design. No court records about individuals are read, and individuals are redacted from everything that is.

For the other side of the ledger — who just raised money — Funding Signals API reads SEC Form D filings, the same press wires and Google News into one row per funding round.

Where the signals come from

1. SEC filings — direct from sec.gov, never through a proxy, with the descriptive User-Agent the SEC requires (ApifyEdgarActor/1.0 (<your contact>)) and at most 8 requests per second across the whole run, shared by every request (SEC allows 10).
   • A company is resolved through SEC's own company_tickers.json (a name, a ticker or a CIK), then its submissions document lists its filings.
   • 10-K: Item 3. Legal Proceedings. 10-Q: Part II, Item 1. Legal Proceedings. Every filing names the item twice — once in the table of contents, once as the real heading — and the occurrence with the disclosure behind it is the one read (an occurrence followed by the next item within 200 characters is the table of contents).
   • Both usually say "see Note 13" or "incorporated by reference to Note 11": that note is read too — or, with no number given, the note headed Legal Proceedings, Legal Matters, Litigation or Commitments and Contingencies — and only its litigation part (a contingencies note's purchase obligations, guarantees, letters of credit and tax sections are skipped).
   • filingsPerCompany periodic reports: the latest 10-K plus the newest 10-Qs filed after it.
   • 8-Ks from the last months, found with EDGAR full-text search ("class action" OR lawsuit OR "settlement agreement" OR subpoena OR "legal proceedings" OR "complaint was filed", that company's CIK, form 8-K), up to 6 documents per company. The 8-K's item sections are read without the cover page, the forward-looking-statements boilerplate, the exhibit table and the signatures; Items 5.02 (officer changes), 5.07 (votes), 2.02 (results) and 9.01 (exhibits) are never read, and a hit carrying only those items is not fetched. Exhibits the search finds (a settlement agreement, a press release) are read from their opening; one that restates its 8-K's matter is merged into it.
   • Market mode: your full-text queries over the last marketDays, on forms, up to maxFilings documents, each read for the section its form carries.
   • Documents above 12 MB are skipped (a free parse-failed row). The captured 10-Ks and 10-Qs are 1.6–3.2 MB; only the sections above are kept and the rest is dropped at once.
2. Press wires — GlobeNewswire and PR Newswire keyword search, through the proxy you configure (Apify datacenter by default): <company> class action, <company> lawsuit, <company> settlement, first page each. A release counts when its headline or teaser names the company and is about litigation — the company's own announcement, or a plaintiffs' firm's "class action filed on behalf of investors of
3. Regulators — read direct once per run: the SEC's, the FTC's and the CFPB's press-release RSS feeds (the SEC's with the SEC User-Agent and inside the same 8-per-second limit), and the Department of Justice's public press-release API (justice.gov/api/v1/press_releases.json, newest first, 50 a page, paged until it reaches past your window, at most 10 pages — 500 releases). Companies mode keeps the notices whose headline or summary names your companies; market mode keeps every notice in the window whose headline is enforcement (a charge, a suit, a settlement, a penalty, a guilty plea). A notice about a person — someone charged, sentenced or pleading guilty, with no organisation in the headline and none opening the release's first sentence — is never a signal, whatever company it names ("Medical Clinic Owner Pleads Guilty" is skipped; "Tyson Foods Pleads Guilty", whose first sentence names Tyson Foods Inc., is kept). A feed that cannot be read is one free source-unavailable row, never a failed run.

How matters are classified, and the confidence scale

Matters, not sentences. A section is split at its sub-headings ("Litigation Relating to 2018 CEO Performance Award", "PFAS — California", "INVEGA SUSTENNA") and at any paragraph that opens with a date and says something was filed, brought, initiated, served or decided in a named court or by a named agency ("On October 21, 2022, a lawsuit was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery…"). The paragraphs after it — "On July 14, 2023, the parties filed a Stipulation…" — are the same matter's history. Boilerplate ("we are subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings…"), pointers ("see Note 13") and accounting sub-sections (accruals, insurance receivables, the note's own introduction) are not matters.

One matter, one row. Each matter gets a matterKey — court + case number when the text gives one, else court + the first date it names, else its first 120 characters normalised — and the same matter in a 10-K and its 10-Qs is one signal: the newest filing's text, every filing in filings.

Types (a matter may carry several): lawsuit (complaint, filed, sued, alleging), class-action, securities (10b-5, shareholder, derivative), settlement (settle, agreed to pay, resolution), judgment (verdict, jury, final judgment), dismissal, appeal, investigation (subpoena, inquiry, civil investigative demand, the DOJ, SEC, FTC, CFPB, state attorneys general), regulatory (consent order, cease-and-desist, penalty, fine), antitrust, patent, employment, product-liability, environmental, arbitration, bankruptcy (Chapter 11 or 7 — the company's or a counterparty's). The words of filing boilerplate — "Private Securities Litigation Reform Act", "settlement date" — never count.

Status: new — filed or announced inside your months window (for a 10-K or 10-Q, the matter's first date; for an 8-K, a release or a notice, the announcement itself); resolved — settled, dismissed or decided, with nothing still pending said after it; ongoing — everything else.

Facts: amountUsd is the first "$X million/billion" the matter states; court is the court or forum in short form (N.D. Cal., W.D. Wash., Delaware Court of Chancery, California Superior Court, Alameda County, Court of Appeals, Eleventh Circuit, Unified Patent Court, JAMS), with jurisdiction; caseNumber is the docket (2:21-cv-01551-TSZ, 2018-0408-KSJM, MDL 2873); counterparties are the organisations and agencies the matter names other than the company — never a person.

The confidence scale:

confidence	What it rests on	Example
high	The text states a case number, a court or an amount	"…class action … in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas"
medium	A litigation type and the company, or a matter under its own filing sub-heading	"…initiated a Statement of Claim … against generic manufacturers" under "INVEGA SUSTENNA"
low	A single keyword, with no court, case, amount or second type	"…eight additional landowner plaintiffs filed a new lawsuit…" with no court named

On the prefill's pinned filings, 108 of the 128 signals are high and 20 medium.

Individuals are redacted, always. In every excerpt, title and heading: a party in a caption with no corporate token (Inc, Corp, LLC, Ltd, plc, Co, Company, Group, Holdings, Trust, Fund, Partners, Bank, Insurance, Technologies, Systems, Industries, Foundation, Association, Agency, Department, Commission, Board, State of, City of, County of, People of, United States, …) becomes [individual] (Smith v. Acme Corp → [individual] v. Acme Corp); so do Mr./Ms./Mrs./Dr. <Surname>, <First Last>, our CEO and its kin, the name after filed by, brought by, on behalf of, plaintiff, against, a given name followed by a surname anywhere, and every later use of a surname already seen (Mr. Musk takes Kimbal Musk with it). Judge <Name>, the Honorable <Name> and Hon. <Name> become [judge]. In re <Company> Securities Litigation names a company and stays; so do law firms by firm name. Excerpts are at most 600 characters after redaction.

Input reference

Field	Type	Default	What it does
mode	select	companies	companies reads the list below; market reads recent filings, releases and notices for any company.
companies	string[]	prefill: 5 companies	Names (Tesla), tickers (TSLA) or CIKs (1318605), up to 200. Resolved through SEC's ticker file; a name SEC does not list is still searched on the wires and in regulator notices. One filer listed twice is read once.
months	integer	12	1–36. The window for 8-Ks, releases and notices, and for status: new.
filingsPerCompany	integer	2	1–8 periodic reports: the latest 10-K plus the newest 10-Qs filed after it.
includeFilings	boolean	true	SEC 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K disclosures.
includePressReleases	boolean	true	GlobeNewswire and PR Newswire search listings.
includeRegulators	boolean	true	SEC, FTC and CFPB press-release feeds and the DOJ press-release API.
types	string[]	[]	Return only signals carrying one of these types. Documents still come back (and bill).
queries	string[]	[]	Market mode: EDGAR full-text queries. Empty: "class action" OR "settlement agreement" OR "legal proceedings".
forms	string[]	8-K, 10-Q, 10-K	Market mode: the forms searched.
maxFilings	integer	50	Market mode: 1–500 SEC documents read at most.
marketDays	integer	7	Market mode: 1–90 days back.
userAgentContact	string	— (prefilled)	Required for SEC. Your organisation and a reachable address (Acme Research data@acme.com). Empty, the shipped placeholder, or a documentation address (example.com and the like) stops the run before any request.
maxConcurrency	integer	2	1–5 companies at once. SEC's 8-per-second limit is shared whatever this is.
maxRunSecs	integer	240	30–3,600. Rows already returned are kept — and billed — when it runs out.
proxyConfiguration	object	{ "useApifyProxy": true }	For the press wires only. SEC and the regulator feeds always go direct.

A run with nothing usable — no company in companies mode, every source switched off, an unknown types or forms value, an unusable userAgentContact — finishes FAILED before a single request, with a free invalid-input row saying why.

Output reference

Every row has the same columns, null where a column does not apply, so the dataset exports as one table. rowType is signal, document, company or diagnostic.

On every row: ok, rowType, input (your entry, as typed), company, cik, ticker, source (sec-10-K · sec-10-Q · sec-8-K · press-release · regulator-sec · regulator-ftc · regulator-cfpb · regulator-doj), scrapedAt.

Signal and document rows: sourceTitle, url, date (filing date, or the release's or notice's publication time), periodEnd (10-K and 10-Q), form, accessionNumber.

Signal rows (paid): types[], status, title (generated, or the headline), heading (the filing's own sub-heading for the matter), excerpt (redacted, ≤ 600 characters), amountUsd, court, caseNumber, counterparties[] (organisations and agencies only), jurisdiction, matterKey, filings[] (every accession that describes the matter), confidence.

Document rows (paid): signalCount, sectionChars, section.

Company rows (free): matchedOn, documentsRead (per source), signalsByType, signals, unresolved (why the entry is not an SEC filer).

Diagnostic rows (free): errorType, error, and url where one applies.

errorType	Meaning
invalid-input	The input cannot be used: see Input reference. The run is then FAILED.
unresolved	The entry is not a name, ticker or CIK in SEC's ticker file (a private or foreign company), or SEC has no filing list for it.
source-unavailable	A filing that is not on sec.gov, a wire search or a regulator feed that could not be read, or SEC refusing this run's User-Agent.
rate-limited	SEC refused the run for its request rate (SEC's "Request Rate Threshold Exceeded" page). No further SEC request is sent in that run.
timeout	The run's maxRunSecs ran out before something was reached. Rows already returned are kept.
parse-failed	A document above 12 MB, or a 10-K or 10-Q in which no Legal Proceedings item and no litigation note were found.
internal	This Actor's own error. The run is then FAILED.

Pricing

Event	What it is	FREE	BRONZE	SILVER	GOLD
actor-start	Once per run, only after the run has returned a paid row	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001	$0.001

$5.00 per 1,000 litigation signals, plus $1.00 per 1,000 documents read.

Run	Cost
The prefill as the offline test suite runs it — 6 documents, 128 signals	$0.647
One company with a quiet docket: a 10-K and a 10-Q with 2 matters, no 8-K, no release	$0.013
A watchlist of 20 at ≈ 10 matters and ≈ 4 documents each	≈ $1.08
The same at GOLD	≈ $0.68
Market mode, 50 8-Ks of which 15 carry a matter	$0.126

Charging is charge-after-push: rows are in your dataset before the event is recorded. A document is delivered whole or not at all — its document row and all of its signal rows are checked against ACTOR_MAX_TOTAL_CHARGE_USD together — and the run stops reading when the next document would not fit, finishing SUCCEEDED and saying so. Never charged: company rows, diagnostic rows, signals outside your types filter, documents that could not be read, and a run that returns nothing (start fee included). A run that read documents and found no litigation is SUCCEEDED — "Read N documents, no litigation signals found" — and its document rows bill.

Limits

• Not court records. This Actor reads what companies disclose to the SEC, what is announced on two press wires, and what four federal regulators publish. A suit a company does not consider material, a state-court case nobody announces, and court dockets themselves are not seen.
• Disclosures lag. A 10-Q describes litigation as of its quarter end and is filed weeks later; a 10-K once a year. 8-Ks, releases and notices are the fast sources, and months bounds how far back they are read.
• Individuals are redacted by design, not by accident: an excerpt may read "a lawsuit filed by [individual] against the Company". A company name built from a person's name (a family firm without a corporate suffix) can be redacted too; organisation names with a suffix — and law firms by firm name — are kept.
• Splitting is heuristic. Matters are split at sub-headings and at dated filings in a named forum. A filing that describes two disputes in one paragraph yields one signal; one that tells one dispute's history under several sub-headings can yield more than one.
• The amount is the first stated. amountUsd is the first "$X million/billion" in the matter — a settlement, a verdict, a reserve or a claimed sum. Read it with the excerpt.
• Wires: listings only, first page. Three searches per wire per company (class action, lawsuit, settlement); releases further down the results, and anything said only in a release body, are not seen.
• Regulators: the current feed. The SEC (25), FTC (10) and CFPB (about 25) feeds carry only their most recent releases; older notices inside months that have scrolled off a feed are not seen. The DOJ API is paged back through your window, up to 500 releases. A feed that is unreachable is reported, free, and the rest of the run carries on.
• SEC limits: at most 8 requests per second for the whole run; up to 6 8-K documents per company; documents above 12 MB are skipped; only filings listed in a filer's recent submissions (about the last thousand) are considered.
• English, US filers. The lexicon is English and the filing structure is the US one (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K); 20-F and 6-K filers are not read in companies mode.
• Not affiliated with the SEC, the FTC, the CFPB, the Department of Justice, GlobeNewswire, PR Newswire, or any company named in the output. Names are used descriptively, to say what was read and what was found.

Use it from an AI agent, or from code

One JSON object in, one flat array out — the shape agent runtimes want. The Actor runs with limited permissions and pay-per-event pricing and never enters Standby, so it works over the Apify MCP server (mcp.apify.com) and with agentic (x402) payments. The Integrations tab pushes results to Slack, a webhook, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, Snowflake or BigQuery, and Apify Schedules run it unattended — weekly with months: 1, status: new is what changed.

Building an app with Lovable? Apify's Lovable connector runs any Actor from inside a Lovable project with your Apify token. Connect Apify in Lovable once, then ask it: "Use Apify to run insight.solutions/litigation-signals-api on my target accounts and build a legal-risk dashboard around the results." A run of a handful of companies finishes well inside Lovable's 300-second synchronous limit at the default settings, and every result is one JSON object per row, so the generated app needs no extra parsing. Usage bills to the Apify account whose token is connected.

FAQ

Why does a company I know is in court show few signals? It discloses only what it considers material, and often in a few sentences. Raise filingsPerCompany to read more 10-Qs, and keep the wires and regulators on: the fast sources catch what the annual report summarises.

Why are some matters ongoing that settled years ago? The filing still describes them — often because an appeal, a fee dispute or a claims process is still open — and the status follows the last thing the text says. "The Court approved the settlement … the appeal is pending" is ongoing.

What does "[individual]" stand for? A person — a plaintiff, an executive, an attorney, a relator, a signatory. This Actor never returns people's names; [judge] stands for a judge. The company, the court, the agencies and the organisations on the other side are kept.

Is a press release from a plaintiffs' firm a lawsuit? It says one was filed (or is being investigated) on behalf of a company's investors; status: new and the court, when the teaser names one, say how far it has gone. It is a signal about the company, not about the firm.

Why do I have to give a contact for the SEC? The SEC requires every automated client to declare who it is and how to reach it, and refuses requests without that. It is not an API key and costs nothing; it is your name on your traffic.

Can it read a private company? Its SEC filings, no — it has none. Its name is still searched on the press wires and in the regulator notices, and the company row says it did not resolve.

Can I get only what is new since last week? Schedule it with months: 1 and filter on status: new, or use market mode with marketDays: 7.

Legal and data-protection notes

• Public sources only. SEC EDGAR filings, EDGAR full-text search, SEC's ticker file, the SEC's, FTC's and CFPB's press-release feeds, the DOJ's public press-release API, and two press wires' public search pages — all served to any anonymous visitor. It never logs in, never supplies cookies or session tokens, and never accepts credentials. SEC is accessed under its published fair-access rules: a declared User-Agent and at most 8 requests per second.
• Companies, not people. Rows describe companies, courts, agencies and organisations. People named in the source text are replaced before a row is written; executives named in 8-K Item 5.02 are never read; signature blocks, cover pages and release media contacts are dropped; counterparties holds organisations only. Court records about individuals are not a source.
• No profiling of individuals. There is no person search and no input that names a person; the Actor cannot be pointed at an individual.
• We are not a data broker. This Actor holds no database and sells no list. It reads public disclosures on demand and writes the result to your dataset on your account.
• Not legal advice. A signal is what a company or regulator published, as of its date; it is not a finding about the merits, the exposure or the outcome. Check the linked document before relying on it.
• Not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the SEC, the FTC, the CFPB, the Department of Justice, GlobeNewswire, PR Newswire, or any company named. Names and trademarks are used descriptively.
• You are responsible for how you use the output, including any outreach to the companies it names, under the GDPR, the CCPA, ePrivacy, CAN-SPAM, bar advertising and solicitation rules, and other applicable law.
