## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Investegate RNS Aggregator — UK LSE/AIM Announcement Metadata

**Real-time UK regulatory news (RNS) metadata for LSE and AIM-listed companies, sourced via the Investegate aggregator.**

> **Metadata only.** This actor returns title, ticker, company name, announcement date, RNS category, listing-page summary line, and source URL. It does **not** scrape or store the full announcement body. To read the full text, follow the `source_url` to investegate.co.uk or the official RNS source.

Keywords: **UK RNS API**, **LSE announcements**, **AIM regulatory news**, **RNS aggregator**, **Investegate API**, **London Stock Exchange RNS feed**, **UK regulatory news service scraper**.

### 📊 Sample Output

[![Investegate UK RNS aggregator — LSE & AIM regulatory announcements with ticker, date, headline, source URL. Hedge fund analyst feed, equity research, M&A intelligence, AIM small-cap tracking.](https://api.apify.com/v2/key-value-stores/8gLgXMBveEI1tTz1z/records/investegate-rns-aggregator-output.png)](https://apify.com/nexgendata/investegate-rns-aggregator)

### What it does

The UK's Regulatory News Service (RNS) is the official channel for regulatory and price-sensitive announcements from LSE and AIM-listed companies — covering results, trading updates, director dealings, holdings notifications, M&A activity, and more. Investegate aggregates the RNS feed (plus EQS and PRN regulatory wires) into a clean public landing page.

This actor scrapes that public landing page (and category pages) for **structured metadata**:

- `rns_id`, `company_name`, `ticker`
- `announcement_date`, `announcement_time`
- `title`, `rns_category`
- `summary` (first 200 chars of the listing-page headline)
- `source_url` (back to investegate.co.uk for the full announcement)

Output is a clean, normalised JSON dataset — ready to load into a watchlist alerting system, an analyst workflow, or a research database.

### Buyer use cases

- **Equity research monitoring** — track new results, trading updates, and director dealings across your covered universe.
- **M&A signal detection** — flag holdings notifications, prospectus publications, and offer-related announcements as they hit the wire.
- **IR / governance tracking** — monitor share buyback activity, AGM statements, and director shareholding changes for peer companies.
- **Financial journalism** — get a structured feed of UK regulatory disclosures filterable by ticker, category, and date.

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `tickers` | array of strings | LSE/AIM tickers to filter on (e.g. `["SGE", "LLOY"]`). Empty = all tickers. |
| `category` | string (enum) | One of: Annual Financial Report, Interim Results, Trading Update, Director Dealings, Significant Shareholding, AGM Statement, Other. Empty = all. |
| `dateFrom` | string `YYYY-MM-DD` | Start date. Empty = last 7 days. |
| `dateTo` | string `YYYY-MM-DD` | End date. Empty = today (UTC). |
| `maxResults` | integer | Hard cap. Defaults to 25. Max 1000. |

### Output schema

Each dataset item:

```json
{
  "rns_id": "9590746",
  "company_name": "Sage Group",
  "ticker": "SGE",
  "isin": null,
  "exchange": null,
  "announcement_date": "2026-05-28",
  "announcement_time": "18:25",
  "title": "Transaction in Own Shares",
  "rns_category": "Transaction in Own Shares",
  "summary": "Transaction in Own Shares",
  "source_code": "RNS",
  "source_url": "https://www.investegate.co.uk/announcement/rns/sage-group--sge/transaction-in-own-shares/9590746",
  "scraped_at": "2026-05-28T12:00:00Z"
}
````

`isin` and `exchange` are intentionally returned as `null` from listing-only scrapes — they live on per-announcement detail pages whose body content this actor does not extract. Pair this actor with your own ISIN reference table keyed on `ticker` if you need ISIN enrichment.

### Sample Output

(Sample dataset rows produced by a recent test run — see Apify console for live JSON.)

### Compliance

- **Polite User-Agent** identifying NexGenData and a contact URL.
- **2 requests/second** soft rate limit between page fetches.
- **robots.txt** is fetched and checked at runtime before any scraping; if the requested feed path is disallowed, the actor aborts gracefully.
- **Metadata only.** No announcement body text. No emails, phone numbers, or personal addresses. No defamatory framing.

### Source attribution

Data is aggregated from publicly available Investegate.co.uk pages. RNS is the news service of the London Stock Exchange. Always cross-check against the official source for trading decisions.
