## 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 Company Filings API

**All SEC filings for any company by CIK — form type, filing date, and document links — from the official EDGAR API.**

Given company CIK numbers, return their recent SEC filings: form type (10-K, 8-K, etc.), filing/report dates, accession number, and the primary document. No account, no API key, and no proxies — this Actor reads a stable public API and returns clean, structured data you can download as **JSON, CSV, or Excel**, or pull straight from the Apify API.

### Features

- ⚡ **Fast & reliable** — hits a stable public endpoint, so runs don't get blocked or break on layout changes.
- 🎯 **Clean structured output** — every result is a flat record with consistent fields (`company`, `form`, `filingDate`, `accession`, `primaryDoc`).
- 🔁 **Batch & schedulable** — pass multiple queries in one run, or schedule it for a always-fresh feed.
- 🔌 **Integrates everywhere** — export JSON/CSV/Excel or connect via the API, webhooks, Zapier, Make, Google Sheets, and 5,000+ integrations.

### Who it's for

Investors, financial analysts, compliance teams, and fintech builders.

**Common use cases**

- Market, competitor, and trend research
- Feeding dashboards, spreadsheets, and internal tools
- Enriching datasets and powering AI / RAG / automation workflows

### Input

| Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| `ciks` | array | SEC CIK numbers (e.g. 320193 = Apple, 1318605 = Tesla). **Required.** |
| `maxItems` | integer | Cap the number of records returned (0 = provider default). |

**Example input**

```json
{
  "ciks": [
    "320193",
    "1318605"
  ],
  "maxItems": 25
}
```

### Output

One record per result. **Example output:**

```json
{
  "company": "...",
  "form": "...",
  "filingDate": "2024-01-15",
  "accession": "...",
  "primaryDoc": "..."
}
```

Fields: `company`, `form`, `filingDate`, `accession`, `primaryDoc`. Download as JSON, CSV, XML, or Excel — or fetch programmatically from the dataset API.

### Pricing

This Actor uses **pay-per-result**: you're billed only for the records you actually get. No monthly fee, and empty runs cost nothing — so it's dramatically cheaper than manual research or bloated data subscriptions.

### FAQ

**Do I need an API key or login?** No — it uses a public endpoint.
**How fresh is the data?** It's fetched live on every run, so it's as current as the source.
**Can I run it automatically?** Yes — schedule it (hourly / daily / weekly) or trigger it via API or webhook.
**How do I get more results?** Increase `maxItems`, or pass several queries in a single run.
**What formats can I export?** JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or via the API.

### Notes

This Actor reads a public API. Please use it responsibly and within the data provider's terms of service.

# 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 = {
    "ciks": [
        "320193",
        "1318605"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("pepeschuster/sec-edgar-filings-api").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();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

echo '{
  "ciks": [
    "320193",
    "1318605"
  ]

apify call pepeschuster/sec-edgar-filings-api --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

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

```

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).
