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/docs.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.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/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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## SEC Form D Scraper β€” Startup Funding & Private Placement Leads Find newly funded companies, private placements, venture funds, real-estate offerings, and other exempt securities offerings from official SEC EDGAR Form D filings. The actor searches current SEC filing metadata, fetches each matched filing's official XML, and turns it into stable, source-linked evidence for startup sales, investor research, private-market intelligence, financial-services prospecting, and compliance workflows. No API key, login, browser, or proxy is required. ### Fast start The default returns the 25 newest Form D filings from a rolling seven-day window, so it remains useful across weekends and holidays: ```json { "daysBack": 7, "sortBy": "latest", "maxResults": 25, "maxFilingsScanned": 250 } ```` Search for one issuer, executive, intermediary, or disclosed filing keyword: ```json { "query": "RevenueLens.ai", "startDate": "2026-01-01", "endDate": "2026-12-31", "maxResults": 25 } ``` Build a Delaware technology funding-lead list with at least $200,000 reported sold: ```json { "daysBack": 30, "states": ["DE"], "industries": ["Computers"], "amendmentFilter": "no", "minAmountSold": 200000, "sortBy": "amount_sold_desc", "maxResults": 100, "maxFilingsScanned": 1000 } ``` Inspect one exact filing: ```json { "accessionNumber": "0002146647-26-000002", "maxResults": 1 } ``` ### Search and filters - SEC full-text `query` across Form D filing content - exact issuer CIK or filing accession number - explicit filing dates or a rolling 1–366 day window - issuer address states - industry and investment-fund-type keywords - issuer entity types - equity, debt, pooled-fund, option/warrant, tenant-in-common, mineral-property, or other security types - federal exemption keywords - new filing versus amendment - whether non-accredited investors were reported - minimum offering amount, amount sold, and investor count - latest, oldest, amount-sold, offering-amount, or first-sale sorting - 1–1,000 total output cap All filters are combined. Array filters use **OR within the field** and **AND across fields**. ### Output Each found filing exposes 57 stable top-level keys, including: - filing date, form type, accession, file number, film number, and CIK - issuer name, entity type, jurisdiction, year, public business address, phone, and previous names - related-person names and disclosed roles, without republishing their street addresses - industry, investment-fund type, revenue/NAV range, and Investment Company Act answer - federal exemptions, amendment status, previous accession, and first-sale date - offered security types and other-security description such as SAFE - issuer-reported total offering amount, amount sold, remaining amount, and indefinite-offering flag - minimum investment, investor count, and non-accredited-investor answer - sales commissions, finder fees, disclosed compensation recipients, and proceeds-use amount - signer name/title/date - official filing document and index URLs - total search hits, filings scanned, scan-limit status, and coverage/interpretation caveats No-match runs return an explicit `NO_MATCHES` evidence item. Temporary SEC source failures return `SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE` instead of an ambiguous empty dataset. ### Bounded scan behavior SEC search metadata does not contain every Form D amount, security, person, and offering field. The actor must fetch filing documents to evaluate those filters, so `maxFilingsScanned` bounds cost and runtime. - `latest` searches can stop once `maxResults` matches are found. - Amount, industry, security, investor, and non-latest sorts may scan many filings. - Every row reports `searchTotalFilings`, `filingsScanned`, and `scanLimitApplied`. - If `scanLimitApplied` is true, the results cover the newest disclosed scan windowβ€”not every filing in the full date range. Increase `maxFilingsScanned` when broader filtered coverage matters. ### Important interpretation limits Form D is a notice filed by the issuer under an exemption from Securities Act registration. It is **not** SEC approval, SEC verification, a recommendation, a completed financing announcement, or proof that the amount offered or reported sold was ultimately raised or retained. Amendments can revise earlier answers. Blank values can mean not reported or not applicable. Form D reports an investor count and whether non-accredited investors participated, but **does not identify the investors**. Related persons and sales-compensation recipients are not necessarily investors. Use this product for discovery and screening. Confirm material investment, sales, credit, compliance, or diligence decisions against the linked official filing and other current sources. ### Official sources - [SEC EDGAR full-text search](https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/) - [SEC Form D filing search](https://www.sec.gov/edgar/search/#/category=custom\&forms=D) - [SEC Form D and Regulation D guidance](https://www.sec.gov/resources-small-businesses/exempt-offerings/filing-form-d-notice) # Actor input Schema ## `query` (type: `string`): SEC full-text search across Form D filings, such as a company, executive, intermediary, technology, or other disclosed keyword. Empty returns the newest filings. ## `cik` (type: `string`): Exact 1-10 digit SEC Central Index Key for one issuer. ## `accessionNumber` (type: `string`): Exact SEC filing accession in 0000000000-00-000000 format. This bypasses broad search and fetches the linked filing directly. ## `startDate` (type: `string`): Optional inclusive YYYY-MM-DD filing date. When omitted, daysBack defines the rolling window. ## `endDate` (type: `string`): Optional inclusive YYYY-MM-DD filing date. Defaults to today. ## `daysBack` (type: `integer`): Used only when startDate is omitted. Seven days makes the default resilient across weekends and holidays. ## `states` (type: `array`): Optional two-letter issuer address state codes. Empty means all states and countries. ## `industries` (type: `array`): Case-insensitive Form D industry/fund-type substrings, such as Computers, Health Care, Real Estate, or Venture Capital Fund. ## `entityTypes` (type: `array`): Exact entity types such as Corporation, Limited Liability Company, or Limited Partnership. ## `securityTypes` (type: `array`): Security-type substrings such as Equity, Debt, Pooled Investment Fund Interest, or Other. ## `exemptions` (type: `array`): Exemption substrings such as 06b, 3C, or 3C. Every result must match at least one selected value. ## `amendmentFilter` (type: `string`): Include all filings, only new Form D notices, or only amendments to earlier notices. ## `nonAccreditedFilter` (type: `string`): Filter the issuer's answer about whether any non-accredited investors have invested. ## `minOfferingAmount` (type: `integer`): Minimum issuer-reported total offering amount. Indefinite offerings do not pass a positive minimum. ## `minAmountSold` (type: `integer`): Minimum issuer-reported amount sold as of the filing. This is not independent proof that proceeds closed or were retained. ## `minInvestors` (type: `integer`): Minimum reported investor count. Form D does not identify those investors. ## `sortBy` (type: `string`): Order matches after document-level filters are applied within the disclosed scan window. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Total output cap after all filters and sorting. ## `maxFilingsScanned` (type: `integer`): Bounds SEC filing-document requests for deep industry, security, amount, and investor filters. Increase it for broader coverage; output discloses when the scan limit applies. ## Actor input object example ```json { "daysBack": 7, "states": [], "industries": [], "entityTypes": [], "securityTypes": [], "exemptions": [], "amendmentFilter": "any", "nonAccreditedFilter": "any", "minOfferingAmount": 0, "minAmountSold": 0, "minInvestors": 0, "sortBy": "latest", "maxResults": 25, "maxFilingsScanned": 250 } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
