## 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 Company Financials — Revenue, Profit, Cash Flow & Balance Sheet (EDGAR XBRL)

Get clean, **analysis-ready financial statements for any US-listed company** straight from the SEC's official EDGAR XBRL data — one row per fiscal year or quarter.

Built by an accounting team: line items are mapped from the most common US-GAAP tags with sensible fallbacks (e.g. `Revenues` → `RevenueFromContractWithCustomer…`), the latest amended filing wins, and annual vs quarterly periods are separated by duration so you don't mix 9-month and 3-month figures.

### Input

```json
{ "companies": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "320193"], "period": "annual", "periods": 5 }
```

### Output (one row per company-period)

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| revenue, costOfRevenue, grossProfit, operatingIncome, netIncome, epsDiluted | Income statement |
| operatingCashFlow, capex, freeCashFlow | Cash flow (FCF = OCF − capex) |
| totalAssets, totalLiabilities, stockholdersEquity, cashAndEquivalents, longTermDebt | Balance sheet at period end |
| grossMargin, operatingMargin, netMargin | Ratios to revenue |
| periodStart, periodEnd, form, filed, accessionNumber | Source filing |

### Notes

- Data source: SEC EDGAR XBRL API (data.sec.gov). SEC states that information on sec.gov "is considered public information and may be copied or further distributed … without the SEC's permission." Requests follow the SEC fair-access policy (declared user agent, well under 10 requests/second).
- Quarterly cash-flow fields are `null`: 10-Q cash-flow statements are year-to-date, so a 3-month figure is not reported.
- US-GAAP filers only (foreign IFRS filers return fewer fields). Companies use different tags; missing values are `null`, never guessed.
- Not affiliated with or endorsed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Not investment advice.

# 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 = {
    "companies": [
        "AAPL",
        "MSFT",
        "NVDA"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("plaindata/sec-company-financials").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);
});

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{

    "AAPL",
    "MSFT",
    "NVDA"

apify call plaindata/sec-company-financials --silent --output-dataset

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,plaindata/sec-company-financials"
        }
    }
}
```

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).
