## 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 Form 4 Insider Transactions Scraper

Extract recent SEC Form 4 insider ownership filing metadata from official EDGAR submissions JSON. Built for finance research, compliance monitoring, public-company surveillance, quant data pipelines, and insider transaction alerts. SEO targets include SEC Form 4 scraper, insider transactions API, EDGAR Form 4 export, and insider buying filings dataset.

### Why this actor

Form 4 filings are a strong finance-data lane because investors, compliance teams, market-data vendors, trading researchers, and public-company monitoring workflows care about insider ownership changes. This actor uses official SEC submissions metadata to find Form 4 filings for watched tickers or CIKs and return clean source-linked rows.

SEO keywords covered by this Store page include SEC Form 4 scraper, insider transactions API, EDGAR Form 4 export, insider buying filings dataset, insider ownership monitor, SEC insider filings, public company surveillance, and finance research data.

### Output

Rows include ticker, CIK, company name, form type, filing date, report date, accession number, primary document, SEC filing URL, and metadata from the official submissions feed.

### Use cases

- Monitor watched public companies for new Form 4 filings.
- Build insider-filing alerts for investment research or compliance teams.
- Feed quant, market-intelligence, or portfolio-monitoring workflows with filing metadata.
- Route new filings to Slack, Airtable, n8n, Make, CRM notes, or a data warehouse.
- Let AI agents summarize filing links and prepare daily insider-activity briefs.

### Example input

```json
{
  "tickers": ["AAPL", "NVDA"],
  "maxResultsPerCompany": 10
}
```

### Responsible use

This actor extracts public SEC filing metadata. Use it for research, monitoring, and compliance support. Do not present generated summaries as investment advice, and verify material decisions against official SEC source filings.

### Pricing

Launch around $4 per 1,000 filings because finance and compliance users have strong willingness to pay.

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).
