## What's an Apify Actor?

An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes.
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.

Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md.

## 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.

Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run.

For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below.

Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`).

# README

## SEC IPO Filings Tracker: S-1, F-1 and Prospectuses

This SEC IPO tracker follows companies on their way to the stock market. It reads the registration statements (Form S-1 for US companies, F-1 for foreign ones), their amendments, the final prospectus that comes when the offering prices (424B4) and the withdrawals (RW), and turns the cover of each document into clean fields. Look at every filing of a date range, or get one row per company with its status in the IPO pipeline.

A row carries more than the filing link. You get the company, ticker and industry, the form and stage (filed, amended, priced, withdrawn), whether it is an initial public offering, whether it is a blank check company (SPAC), the exchange and the proposed ticker symbol, the number of shares, the price or the price range, the estimated size of the deal, the over-allotment option, the underwriting discount, the lead underwriters, the legal counsel named on the cover, the emerging growth and smaller reporting company flags, how many days since the first filing and how many amendments came before. The pipeline view adds the status of the company, the dates of the first filing, the pricing and a withdrawal, days in registration and the latest terms.

Investors, bankers, lawyers, analysts, journalists and IPO newsletter writers use it to watch the pipeline and to see deals before they price.

### What can you do with this IPO tracker?

- See every S-1 and F-1 filed this week and which are real IPOs
- Watch the price range change from amendment to amendment
- Get the final terms of each IPO that priced: shares, price, deal size and underwriters
- Follow how long a company takes from the first filing to pricing
- Find withdrawn offerings
- Leave out SPACs, or look only at them
- Leave out ETFs and crypto trusts that use the same forms
- Filter by exchange, industry or deal size
- Follow one company through its filings
- Export IPO data to CSV or Excel, or send new filings to Slack or your own tools

### What data can you extract from IPO filings?

| Mode | One row is | Highlights |
|---|---|---|
| Filings | One document | Company, ticker, industry, state, form, stage, filing date, IPO flag, SPAC flag, fund or trust flag, exchange, proposed symbol, shares offered, price or price range, estimated deal size, over-allotment shares, underwriting discount, lead underwriters, legal counsel, emerging growth and smaller company flags, days since the first filing, amendments so far, withdrawal text, links |
| Pipeline | One company | Status (filed, amended, effective, priced, withdrawn), IPO and SPAC flags, exchange, ticker, industry, first and latest filing dates, days in registration, number of registration filings and amendments, dates of pricing, withdrawal and effectiveness, latest shares, price or range, deal size, over-allotment, discount, underwriters, counsel, and the list of filings in the period |

### How to scrape SEC IPO filings

1. Choose **Filings** or **Pipeline**.
2. Set the filing dates. The default is the last 14 days.
3. Turn on **Only initial public offerings**, and leave out SPACs and funds if you want operating companies only.
4. Optionally pick the forms, an exchange, an industry code or a minimum deal size.
5. Set **Max Items** and click **Start**.
6. Export the dataset as CSV, Excel or from the Apify console.

### Input example

```json
{
  "mode": "pipeline",
  "onlyIpos": true,
  "excludeSpacs": true,
  "excludeFunds": true,
  "dateFrom": "2026-05-01",
  "dateTo": "2026-05-15",
  "maxItems": 50
}
```

### Final prospectus output example

```json
{
  "companyName": "Micware Co., Ltd.",
  "form": "424B4",
  "formDescription": "Final prospectus (424B4)",
  "stage": "Priced",
  "filingDate": "2026-05-15",
  "isInitialPublicOffering": true,
  "isSpac": false,
  "exchange": "Nasdaq Global Market",
  "proposedSymbol": "MWC",
  "sharesOffered": 2850000,
  "pricePerShareUsd": 8,
  "estimatedOfferUsd": 22800000,
  "underwritingDiscountPct": 7,
  "leadUnderwriters": "A.G.P.",
  "daysSinceFirstFiling": 70,
  "amendmentsSoFar": 3
}
```

### Pipeline output example

```json
{
  "companyName": "GMR Solutions Inc.",
  "ticker": "GMRS",
  "status": "Priced",
  "exchange": "New York Stock Exchange",
  "firstFilingDate": "2026-04-17",
  "pricedOn": "2026-05-14",
  "daysInRegistration": 27,
  "amendments": 4,
  "estimatedOfferUsd": 478723395
}
```

### How much does it cost to scrape IPO filings?

You pay per result: $36 per 1,000 rows plus a tiny start fee. The free plan returns up to 10 rows per run. The pipeline view is one row per company, so a quarter of IPO activity costs a few cents.

### Tips for better results

- The size of a deal is the number of shares times the price, or the middle of the price range. It is an estimate read from the cover and does not include the over-allotment option.
- Preliminary filings often have no price and no number of shares yet. The terms appear in the amendments and the final prospectus.
- Companies also file confidentially before the first public filing. Those drafts are not on EDGAR, so the first public filing can come shortly before the roadshow.
- ETFs, crypto trusts and similar products file the same forms. Turn on the option to leave out funds and trusts.
- Blank check companies have no business yet. Turn on the option to leave them out, or use it to follow only SPACs.
- The proposed symbol and the exchange are read from the text of the document. When a filing does not state them yet, the fields stay empty.
- For a daily list, schedule the Actor every morning and turn on the option to return only filings not returned before.
- Each document is large, so the Actor reads at most 600 filings per run by default. Raise the limit for long date ranges.

### Who uses IPO data?

- **Investors and traders** watch deals before they price.
- **Bankers and lawyers** follow competitors and the market.
- **Analysts and newsletter writers** publish IPO calendars.
- **Journalists** report on new offerings and withdrawals.
- **Researchers** study IPO timing and size.

### Automate and connect

Schedule the Actor every day and send new filings to Slack, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or n8n, or trigger a webhook when a run ends.

### FAQ

**Do I need an SEC account?**
No. The Actor works without any login.

**What is an S-1?**
The registration statement that a US company files to offer shares to the public. Foreign companies use an F-1. Changes come as amendments, and the final prospectus is filed when the offering prices.

**Does the Actor show confidential drafts?**
No. Confidential drafts are not public on EDGAR. Only the public filings appear.

**Does it include follow-on offerings?**
Yes, if the company files an S-1 or a 424B4 for more shares. The IPO flag tells an initial public offering from other offerings.

**Why is the price empty?**
Preliminary filings do not state the price. Look at later amendments or the final prospectus.

**How far back can I search?**
Use the filing dates to choose the period. With a company, the default start date is a year ago.

**Is this financial advice?**
No. IPO filings are public information. Use them as one input among many.
