## 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 Form N-PX Proxy Voting Records Scraper API

Search institutional proxy-voting disclosures filed on **official SEC EDGAR Form N-PX** and extract source-linked vote evidence from selected filing documents. Use it for stewardship research, fund-vote comparison, governance screening, and filing monitoring.

### Deterministic first run

```json
{
  "query": "BlackRock",
  "startDate": "2025-01-01",
  "includeAmendments": false,
  "maxFilings": 1,
  "scanLimit": 25,
  "maxResults": 3
}
```

Candidates are sorted by filing date and accession—not EFTS relevance—before the newest filing is fetched. The default emits at most three parsed vote rows. If that selected filing is a fund notice or its format cannot be safely parsed, one explicit `PARSE_UNAVAILABLE` filing-evidence row is returned instead of invented votes.

### Inputs

Search by fund/manager `query`, exact `cik` or `accession`, filing dates, amendment inclusion, issuer/security/CUSIP/proposal keyword, proposal category, management recommendation, and vote cast. `scanLimit` bounds search candidates; `maxFilings` bounds SEC Archives follow-ups; `maxResults` is a total output cap. Exact accessions use `0000000000-00-000000` format.

Example governance screen:

```json
{
  "query": "BlackRock",
  "startDate": "2025-01-01",
  "issuerQuery": "Apple",
  "proposalQuery": "director",
  "voteCast": "against",
  "maxFilings": 5,
  "scanLimit": 50,
  "maxResults": 20
}
```

### Output and explicit outcomes

Found rows preserve filing date/form/accession/CIK/filer/report period, fund and issuer, security title, CUSIP or other identifier, meeting date, proposal number/text/category, management recommendation, vote instruction, reported shares voted/loaned, official filing/index URLs, retrieval time, and bounded-coverage fields.

Outcomes are `FOUND`, `NO_MATCH`, `PARSE_UNAVAILABLE`, `SOURCE_UNAVAILABLE`, and `INVALID_INPUT`. No match means only that no parsed row met all filters in the disclosed bounded window.

### Price and bounds

Pricing is **$0.0001 per start + $0.002 per dataset item**. The three-item default costs at most **$0.0061**. Apify maximum-charge budgets reduce the total result limit before filing-document work. Increasing limits increases potential charge and SEC requests.

### Evidence limits

Form N-PX is filer-submitted periodic disclosure. Filings may be amended and can use issuer-, filer-, series-, or fund-specific XML/HTML formatting. A filing may be a notice report with no vote table. Blank values mean unknown/not reported, not zero or “none.”

Results do **not** establish SEC verification, beneficial ownership, current holdings, investment advice, a governance outcome, or a complete/live voting record. Confirm material conclusions against the linked filing, amendments, and other current sources.

### SEC fair access

The actor uses the official no-key EDGAR full-text JSON endpoint and official SEC Archives only, sends an identifying User-Agent, applies conservative sequential pacing, timeouts, response-size limits, and bounded retries for transient failures and HTTP 408/429/5xx responses. Keep limits modest and follow the [SEC privacy and security policy](https://www.sec.gov/privacy.htm).

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,pink_comic/sec-form-npx-proxy-voting-records"
        }
    }
}

```

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).
