## Pricing

Pay per usage

This Actor is paid per platform usage. The Actor is free to use, and you only pay for the Apify platform usage, which gets cheaper the higher subscription plan you have.

## 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 Company Filings

Fetches recent **SEC EDGAR** company filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Form 4, and more) from the [official public SEC data APIs](https://www.sec.gov/search-filings/edgar-application-programming-interfaces) and saves structured metadata to the Actor dataset.

No API key required. Not Turkey/Türkiye-specific. Suitable for compliance monitoring, finance research, and newsroom workflows.

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `tickers` | Stock symbols (e.g. `AAPL`, `MSFT`). Resolved via `company_tickers.json`. Defaults to `AAPL` if neither tickers nor CIKs are set. |
| `ciks` | Optional SEC Central Index Keys (leading zeros optional). |
| `formTypes` | Form filters (e.g. `10-K`, `10-Q`, `8-K`, `4`). Amendments like `10-K/A` match when you pass `10-K`. Default: 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, 4. |
| `fromDate` / `toDate` | Optional inclusive filing-date range (`YYYY-MM-DD`). |
| `maxItems` | Cap on saved rows across all companies (1–2000, default 100). |
| `requestDelayMs` | Pause between company API calls (default 300). |

### Output

Each dataset item includes: `ticker`, `cik`, `companyName`, `form`, `filingDate`, `reportDate`, `acceptanceDateTime`, `accessionNumber`, `primaryDocument`, `primaryDocDescription`, `fileNumber`, `documentUrl`, `filingIndexUrl`.

### Local run

```bash
cd sec-edgar-filings
python3 -m venv .venv && .venv/bin/pip install -r requirements.txt
apify run --purge -i '{"tickers":["AAPL"],"formTypes":["10-K","8-K","4"],"fromDate":"2025-01-01","maxItems":10}'
```

### Fair access

SEC requires a descriptive `User-Agent` with contact information. This Actor sends one and rate-limits requests politely. See [SEC fair access](https://www.sec.gov/os/webmaster-faq#developers).

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,knotless_snowcrab/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).
