Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is SEC Form 8-K?

SEC Form 8-K is the mandatory "Current Report" that US public companies must file with the Securities and Exchange Commission within 4 business days of any major unscheduled corporate event that shareholders should know about—such as an acquisition, CEO resignation, earnings release, bankruptcy, or cybersecurity breach.

Why is Item 5.02 on Form 8-K so valuable for B2B lead generation?

Whenever a public company hires, promotes, or replaces a principal officer (CEO, President, CFO, Principal Accounting Officer, COO) or Board Director, they are legally required to file Form 8-K under Item 5.02. Connecting this Actor to Clay or n8n allows B2B sales teams and executive search firms to reach out to newly appointed executives on day one.

How can I connect this SEC Form 8-K API to Python, Clay, n8n, or Google Sheets?

You can trigger this Actor via the Apify REST API, the apify-client Python or Node.js SDK, or the native Apify integration node inside Clay, n8n, Make, and Zapier to automatically route 8-K alerts to Slack, Telegram, HubSpot, or Google Sheets.
