## 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 EDGAR Filings Lookup — official data.sec.gov API, no login

Look up any U.S. public company's full SEC filing history through SEC's own official EDGAR
data API (`data.sec.gov`). No login, no proxies, no scraping of sec.gov's HTML — this reads
the same structured JSON endpoint SEC publishes for exactly this purpose.

Government public data: SEC's Fair Access Policy states "Anyone can access and download this
information for free" (source: sec.gov/os/webmaster-faq, checked 2026-09-02). This actor
follows SEC's published rules: it identifies itself with a declared User-Agent and stays well
under the 10 requests/second limit — no bot-detection evasion of any kind.

### Tested (2026-09-02)

| Target | Filings returned |
|---|---:|
| `AAPL` | 300 (capped by maxItems; 1,003 available) |
| `MSFT` | resolved via ticker → CIK automatically |
| `TSLA` | resolved via ticker → CIK automatically |

### SEC EDGAR scraper — input

```json
{
  "targets": ["AAPL", "MSFT:10-K,10-Q"],
  "maxItems": 300
}
```

Each target is a ticker symbol or a 10-digit CIK number. Add `:FORM1,FORM2` after the ticker
to filter to specific form types (e.g. `AAPL:10-K,10-Q,8-K`). Filings are returned newest first.

### SEC EDGAR scraper — output fields

One dataset item per filing:

| Field | |
|---|---|
| `cik` | SEC Central Index Key for the company |
| `entity_name` | registered company name |
| `ticker` | ticker symbol used to look up (or the company's primary ticker) |
| `form` | filing type (`10-K`, `10-Q`, `8-K`, `4`, `S-1`, etc.) |
| `filing_date` / `report_date` | when it was filed / the period it covers |
| `accession_number` | SEC's unique filing ID |
| `items` | for 8-K filings, the item codes disclosed (e.g. `5.02`) |
| `primary_document` | filename of the main document |
| `filing_url` | direct link to the filed document on sec.gov |
| `is_xbrl` | whether the filing includes machine-readable XBRL data |

Scope: returns SEC's most recent filings per company (up to 1,000; SEC's own limit for the
"recent" feed). Very old filings (roughly pre-2015 for long-listed companies) live in a
separate archive file per company and are not included in this version.

### Use Cases

- **Competitor monitoring**: get alerted the moment a public company files a new 10-K,
  10-Q, or 8-K
- **Insider-trading tracking**: pull Form 4 filings for a ticker to watch insider buy/sell
  activity
- **Investor due-diligence pipelines**: batch-pull filing history across a whole
  portfolio instead of one company at a time on sec.gov
- **LLM/RAG data feeds**: structured filing metadata (form type, date, accession number,
  document URL) ready to feed an analysis pipeline

### Why this over sec.gov's own search

sec.gov's EDGAR search is built for one company, one filing, at a time in a browser. This
actor takes a batch of tickers and hands back structured rows — for monitoring pipelines,
compliance workflows, or feeding an LLM/analytics tool that needs filings as data, not a web page.

### Pricing

Pay per event: **$2.00 per 1,000 filing records** collected. Nothing else.

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "targets": [
        "AAPL"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("pappy-dev/sec-edgar-filings").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "targets": ["AAPL"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("pappy-dev/sec-edgar-filings").call(run_input=run_input)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "targets": [
    "AAPL"
  ]
}' |
apify call pappy-dev/sec-edgar-filings --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pappy-dev/sec-edgar-filings"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
