## 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.

# README

## SEC EDGAR Intel: Filings, Financials & Full-Text Search

Turn the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system into clean, structured data you can drop into a spreadsheet, database, or model. Track any public company's filings, pull audited XBRL financials as a time series, or search the full text of every filing for a keyword or phrase.

Built on the official SEC public data endpoints. No API key. No proxy. No login.

### Three modes

#### 1. Filings (per company)
Give it tickers or CIK numbers and get every recent filing back as structured rows: form type, filing date, report date, accession number, and direct links to the primary document. Filter by form (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, 13F-HR, Form 4, and so on).

Use it to monitor a portfolio, watch competitors, or feed a compliance pipeline. Turn on **delta mode** and a scheduled run emits only filings that appeared since the last run, so a schedule plus webhook becomes a real-time filing alert.

#### 2. Financials (XBRL facts)
Pull headline numbers straight from the structured XBRL data companies file: revenue, net income, operating income, assets, liabilities, equity, cash, EPS, and any other US-GAAP concept you name. Each row is one reported value for one period, so you get a ready-made time series. Set **annual only** to drop quarterly noise and keep 10-K / 20-F figures.

#### 3. Full-text search
Search the full text of filings from roughly the last ten years. Quote a phrase for an exact match ("going concern", "artificial intelligence", "material weakness"), narrow by form and date range, and get back the matching filings with company, form, date, and a link to the document. Great for thematic research and competitive intelligence. Delta mode turns it into a recurring keyword watch.

### Example input

Monitor Apple and Microsoft 8-K filings, only new ones each run:

```json
{
  "mode": "filings",
  "companies": ["AAPL", "MSFT"],
  "forms": ["8-K"],
  "deltaMode": true
}
````

Pull annual revenue and net income for NVIDIA:

```json
{
  "mode": "financials",
  "companies": ["NVDA"],
  "concepts": ["Revenues", "NetIncomeLoss"],
  "annualOnly": true
}
```

Find every recent filing that mentions "stock split":

```json
{
  "mode": "search",
  "searchQuery": "\"stock split\"",
  "forms": ["8-K"],
  "startdt": "2026-01-01"
}
```

### Output

One row per record. Filings carry `form`, `filingDate`, `accessionNumber`, `documentUrl`. Financial facts carry `concept`, `value`, `unit`, `fiscalYear`, `fiscalPeriod`, `form`, `filed`. Search hits carry `company`, `ticker`, `form`, `fileDate`, `documentUrl`.

### A note on fair access

SEC asks that automated clients send a descriptive User-Agent with a contact and stay under 10 requests per second. This actor does both automatically; you can set your own contact in the input.

### Part of the B2B data suite

Pair this with our other structured-source actors for sales, research, and competitive intelligence:

- **GitHub Intel** (repos, developer leads, stargazer lists)
- **Hacker News Intel** (Who's Hiring jobs, Show HN launches, keyword monitor)
- **Y Combinator Companies Scraper**
- **IndieHackers Product Scraper**
- **BetaList Startup Scraper**

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

What to extract: company filings, XBRL financials, or a full-text search across filings.

## `companies` (type: `array`):

Ticker symbols (e.g. "AAPL", "MSFT") or raw CIK numbers (e.g. "320193"). Used by filings and financials modes.

## `forms` (type: `array`):

Filter to specific filing forms, e.g. "10-K", "10-Q", "8-K", "S-1", "13F-HR", "4". Empty = all forms. Used by filings and search modes.

## `concepts` (type: `array`):

US-GAAP concept tags to pull, e.g. "Revenues", "NetIncomeLoss", "Assets". Empty = a sensible default set of headline financials. Used by financials mode.

## `taxonomy` (type: `string`):

XBRL taxonomy for the concepts (financials mode). Almost always us-gaap.

## `annualOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only annual-report facts (10-K / 20-F), dropping quarterly noise (financials mode).

## `searchQuery` (type: `string`):

Full-text query across filings. Quote a phrase for exact match, e.g. '"artificial intelligence"' or '"going concern"' (search mode).

## `startdt` (type: `string`):

Earliest filing date, e.g. "2026-01-01" (search mode).

## `enddt` (type: `string`):

Latest filing date, e.g. "2026-06-30" (search mode).

## `deltaMode` (type: `boolean`):

Only emit filings new since the previous run (per-account state). Turns the actor into a recurring filing or keyword monitor. Pair with a schedule + webhook for alerts. Used by filings and search modes.

## `userAgent` (type: `string`):

SEC requires a descriptive User-Agent carrying a contact, e.g. "Acme Research jane@acme.com". Optional: a working default is used if left empty.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Cap on records to return across all companies. Full-text search is capped at 1000 by the SEC API.

{
  "mode": "filings",

    "AAPL"
