## 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.

# README

## SEC EDGAR Company Facts Research API

[Open the SEC EDGAR Company Facts Research Monitor in the Apify Store](https://apify.com/koalastuff/sec-company-facts-explorer)

Retrieve bounded SEC EDGAR XBRL company facts for financial research, filing workflows, and data pipelines. This independent Actor is not affiliated with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and is not investment advice.

### Try this first

Use a CIK and one or two exact concepts to retrieve recent filed facts. Results include the filing form, period, accession number, official source URL, and a clear research disclaimer.

```json
{"ciks":["0000320193"],"concepts":["Revenues","Assets"],"daysBack":365,"maxResults":20,"requestDelayMs":250}
```

For recurring research, duplicate the ready-made Task and attach your own Apify Schedule. This portfolio does not create paid schedules automatically.

### Reliability and limits

- Official unauthenticated `data.sec.gov` Company Facts API only; no browser, proxy, key, or paid service.
- Maximum five CIKs and 1,000 output facts per run, sequential requests, explicit SEC User-Agent, retries, date/form/concept filters, and stable IDs.
- SEC data is updated as filings are disseminated. Verify important financial information against the official filing; this Actor is not investment, legal, or accounting advice.

### Pricing

- Actor start: USD 0.00005
- Company fact: USD 0.001

### Source

SEC EDGAR API documentation: <https://www.sec.gov/search-filings/edgar-application-programming-interfaces>. SEC APIs do not require authentication or API keys for the public Company Facts endpoints. This independent product is not endorsed by the SEC.

### Support

# 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 = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("koalastuff/sec-company-facts-explorer").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);
});

# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = {}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("koalastuff/sec-company-facts-explorer").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{}' |
apify call koalastuff/sec-company-facts-explorer --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,koalastuff/sec-company-facts-explorer"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
