2. Fetches filing metadata from the SEC EDGAR submissions API (data.sec.gov)

4. Optionally parses the filing HTML to extract key sections (Risk Factors, MD&A, Business description)
5. Returns clean, structured JSON to the Apify dataset

Data source

All data comes directly from the SEC EDGAR public database. The SEC provides free, unrestricted access to all public company filings. No authentication required. No rate limit issues with respectful crawling.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. You are charged per filing scraped. Check the Pricing tab for current rates.

Tips for best results

• Start with a small date range to test, then expand
• Use summary output format for fastest runs when you only need metadata
• Use detailed format when you need parsed sections (Risk Factors, MD&A)
• Use full format only when you need the complete filing text (slower, more data)
• Combine with scheduled runs to monitor new filings automatically
