📣 ASX Company Announcements Scraper

Scrape ASX company announcements for the tickers you name: headline, announcement type, price-sensitive flag, date and a direct link to the announcement PDF (the source serves the 5 most recent per issuer). Run it once and you get the current records as a dataset — that is the default. Turn on watch mode and a scheduled run returns only what changed since the last run (see Optional: run it on a schedule).

Output is one announcement_record row per result; billing is pay-per-event, the value event being one announcement delta (a $0.02 start fee per run, then $0.15 per announcement delta plus one $0.10 source check per run that reads the source). Source: asx.api.markitdigital.com.

No login, no API key and no CAPTCHA solving are involved: the source is read logged-out with an identified contact User-Agent.

How many rows to expect. The ASX source answers with at most the 5 most recent announcements per issuer and has no paging, so count above 5 changes nothing and a snapshot is up to 5 × the issuers you name — the Store example (BHP + CBA) returns up to 10. Run it daily in optional watch mode and you keep a growing, de-duplicated record on your side; it is not an archive search.

The run finished with the status message: NORMAL: emitted 10 item(s)

✅ What you get

One row per record delivered by ASX Announcement Event Watch; in watch mode a delta row carries delta_type, before, after and changed_fields. Field names come from the actor's real output; fields the source does not publish are null.

Each row is flat JSON with these fields (from the dataset schema and the sample run; a field the source does not publish for a given row is null):

• record_key (string/null) — e.g. asx:BHP:2924-03135917-3A701845
• asx_code (string/number/integer/boolean/null) — e.g. BHP
• issuer_name (string/number/integer/boolean/null) — e.g. BHP GROUP LIMITED
• document_key (string/number/integer/boolean/null) — e.g. 2924-03135917-3A701845
• headline (string/number/integer/boolean/null) — e.g. BHP 2026 ESG Roundtable
• announcement_type (string/number/integer/boolean/null) — e.g. PERIODIC REPORTS
• announced_at (string/number/integer/boolean/null) — e.g. 2026-09-15T22:55:24.000Z
• price_sensitive (string/number/integer/boolean/null) — e.g. False
• file_size (string/number/integer/boolean/null) — e.g. 3071KB
• document_url (string/null) — Direct link to the announcement PDF on the ASX API (asx-research/1.0/file/{documentKey})
• document_url_checked (boolean/null) — Whether this run's one live check of the document-link pattern answered with a PDF (true), did not (false), or could not be reached (null)
• record_type (string) — e.g. announcement_record
• delta_type (string/null) — null in every sample row
• before (object/array/string/number/integer/boolean/null) — null in every sample row
• after (object/array/string/number/integer/boolean/null) — null in every sample row
• changed_fields (array/object/string/null) — null in every sample row

Every run also writes a RUN_RECEIPT record to its key-value store with the source checks it made and the counts it charged — diagnostics never land in the paid dataset.

⚙️ Sample inputs

1. Quick start — the Store example (this is what the sample above came from)

{
  "codes": [
    "BHP",
    "CBA"
  ],
  "count": 10,
  "price_sensitive_only": false,
  "watch_mode": false,
  "baseline_id": "default",
  "max_items": 10
}

The sample run charged exactly: 1 × $0.02 apify-actor-start + 1 × $0.10 source-check + 0 × $0.15 announcement-delta = $0.12 on the Free tier — snapshot preview rows are delivered unbilled; only the source check and the start fee were charged.

2. A smaller, narrowed run

{
  "codes": [
    "BHP",
    "CBA"
  ],
  "count": 10,
  "price_sensitive_only": false,
  "watch_mode": false,
  "baseline_id": "default",
  "max_items": 5
}

Caps the run at 5 rows; same billing shape as the sample run above.

3. Optional watch mode (changes only, for a schedule)

{
  "codes": [
    "BHP",
    "CBA"
  ],
  "count": 10,
  "price_sensitive_only": false,
  "watch_mode": true,
  "baseline_id": "default",
  "max_items": 10
}

The first run seeds a private baseline and emits zero deltas; every later run emits one row per change, billed at $0.15 each plus the $0.10 source check; billed deltas are capped at 500 per run.

🔧 How it works

Source. The actor reads asx.api.markitdigital.com — endpoints: https://asx.api.markitdigital.com/asx-research/1.0/companies. Public pages and feeds only; nothing behind a login.

Transport. Plain HTTPS from the Apify platform, no proxy. Every request carries an identified contact User-Agent.

Watch semantics. Snapshot mode (watch_mode: false) returns a preview. Watch mode keys every record on a source-native id, stores a private baseline in a named key-value store, and on each later run emits one delta row per change (new / changed / removed). A blocked fetch is never diffed, so a source outage cannot show up as a mass removal.

Terminal states. A run ends NORMAL, CAPPED (your cap was reached), PARTIAL (something was withheld and the message says what), GENUINE_EMPTY (the source was read and truly had nothing in scope) or BLOCKED (the source refused or changed shape — the run FAILS loud and bills nothing). A zero-row run is never reported as a silent success.

Charging. Each announcement delta is charged at the moment it is pushed (announcement-delta); a row that fails to charge is not delivered, so the dataset count always equals the charged count. One source-check is charged per run that actually read the source.

Watch semantics. Snapshot mode (watch_mode: false) returns a preview capped at 25 records. Watch mode keys every record on a source-native id, stores a private baseline in a named key-value store, and on each later run emits one delta row per change (new / changed / removed). A blocked fetch is never diffed, so a source outage cannot show up as a mass removal.

🔧 How it works

Source

ASX company announcements API (public, logged-out)

• https://asx.api.markitdigital.com/asx-research/1.0/companies/{code}/announcements

Public, logged-out only — no API key, login, cookie or CAPTCHA.

Snapshot mode is a PREVIEW

watch_mode: false returns at most 25 records, hard-capped in code regardless of max_items, labeled output_mode: "preview". This cell sells change detection, not bulk record export.

Watch semantics

First watch run stores a private baseline and emits zero deltas. Later runs emit NEW / CHANGED / REMOVED keyed on the source-native id with before / after and changed_fields.

Terminal states

NORMAL · SUCCEEDED-0: GENUINE_EMPTY · SUCCEEDED-0 (no change) · PARTIAL · BLOCKED. A zero with no evidence FAILS loud rather than exiting 0 quietly.

What is not done. No login, no cookie or CAPTCHA bypass, no private or personal-account data, no browser automation.

⏰ Optional: run it on a schedule

A single run returns the current records. If you also want to be told what changed over time, open the actor in Apify Console → Schedules → Create new, add this actor with input 3 above (watch_mode: true) so each run returns only the changes, and pick a cadence:

• Daily — 0 7 * * * (07:00 UTC): catch changes within a day.
• Weekly — 0 7 * * 1: a Monday digest.

The baseline persists in a named key-value store between runs, so every scheduled run compares against the last one; use a different baseline_id for independent watches. Schedules can also POST results to a webhook (Console → Integrations).

💰 Pricing example

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold
Actor Start (apify-actor-start)	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02	$0.02
Source check (source-check)	$0.10	$0.09	$0.08	$0.067
Announcement Delta (announcement-delta)	$0.15	$0.135	$0.12	$0.1005

Worked at the live Free-tier price (watch mode, one delta per change):

• 8 announcement deltas: $0.02 start + $0.10 source check + 8 × $0.15 = $1.32
• 25 announcement deltas: $0.02 start + $0.10 source check + 25 × $0.15 = $3.87
• 300 announcement deltas: $0.02 start + $0.10 source check + 300 × $0.15 = $45.12

A run that delivers zero rows charges the $0.02 start fee plus the $0.10 source check (the source was read and reported empty). A BLOCKED run (source refused) fails loud and charges no value event. The start fee is charged once per GB of run memory; the default run memory is 1024 MB.

Yield on the sample run: NORMAL: emitted 10 item(s). max_items is a hard ceiling on what is delivered and billed, never a target.

⚖️ Legal & ToS

This actor reads public, logged-out pages and feeds published by asx.api.markitdigital.com. It collects only what the source publishes to any visitor, identifies itself with a contact User-Agent, and does not access accounts, private data or anything behind authentication. Use the output in line with the source's terms and your local law; the intended use is B2B research and monitoring.

❓ FAQ

Q: Do I need an API key or a login?
A: No. The source (asx.api.markitdigital.com) is read logged-out; the input schema has no key field and the actor carries no secrets.

Q: Why did my run return 0 rows?
A: Read the run's status message. GENUINE_EMPTY means the source was read and had nothing in scope for your input (in watch mode the first run always seeds the baseline and returns zero deltas); BLOCKED means the source refused and the run failed without billing a value event — retry later or narrow the input. A zero-row run bills the start fee plus one source check.

Q: How many rows can one run return?
A: Up to max_items (default 300). Raise the cap for a bigger run; you pay per delivered row.

Q: What does watch mode remember between runs?
A: A private baseline of source-native record ids in a named key-value store (baseline_id names it, so several independent watches can coexist). Each later run diffs the live source against it and emits only changes.

Q: How fresh is the data?
A: Every run reads the source live at run time; nothing is cached between runs except the watch baseline. Put it on a schedule for a continuous feed.

Q: What formats can I export?
A: The dataset downloads as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or RSS from the run's Dataset tab or the Apify API, and any run can push to a webhook or integration.

Q: How is this different from the other market announcement scrapers actors?
A: Same output shape and billing model; this one covers asx.api.markitdigital.com. The siblings under Related Actors cover the other sources or slices — run several on one schedule for a combined feed.

🆘 Troubleshooting

• Run FAILED with BLOCKED → the source refused the request or changed its page shape → nothing was billed beyond the start fee; retry after a while, and if it persists open an Issue with the run id.
• Status says CAPPED → your cap (max_items) was reached → raise it for a bigger run.
• Input validation error on start → a field is outside the schema's allowed values → start from the Quick start block and change one field at a time.
• Run TIMED-OUT → a very wide request on a slow day → raise the run timeout in Run options or narrow the input; what was delivered before the timeout is still in the dataset.
• First watch run shows no deltas → expected: it seeds the baseline; changes appear from the second run.
