Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What is SEC Form D and why is it better than Crunchbase for B2B leads?

Under Regulation D of the U.S. Securities Act, any private company or startup that raises capital from accredited investors or venture capital funds without registering a public IPO must file Form D with the SEC within 15 days of the first sale of securities. Many stealth startups file Form D months before issuing a public press release—meaning Form D gives you verified funding data, exact dollar amounts, and founder names long before Crunchbase or TechCrunch.

Does this scraper parse the raw SEC Form D XML?

Yes. Instead of just returning a link to the SEC webpage, this Actor downloads and parses the raw primary_doc.xml file for each filing to extract exact dollar figures, executive officer names, board directors, phone numbers, and street addresses.

How can I connect this SEC Form D API to Clay, n8n, or Google Sheets?

You can call this Actor directly via the Apify REST API, the apify-client Python or Node.js SDK, or the native Apify integration inside Clay, n8n, Make, and Zapier.
