❓ FAQ

Q: Where does the SEC filings data come from? A: All data is sourced directly from SEC EDGAR — the official Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system operated by the US Securities and Exchange Commission. This is the same source used by financial professionals, regulators, and researchers worldwide.

Q: Can I retrieve all filing types for a company at once? A: Yes. Leave the form_type field blank and the actor returns all filing types for the target company — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and every other form submitted to EDGAR — up to max_results.

Q: How current is the data? A: SEC EDGAR filings data is retrieved live at the time of each run. The date field reflects the actual filing submission date as recorded by the SEC.

Q: Can I monitor a company for new filings automatically? A: Yes. Set up an Apify scheduled task to run this SEC EDGAR scraper on a daily or weekly basis for any ticker. New filings appear in each run's output as soon as they are submitted to EDGAR.

Q: What is the filing_id field? A: The filing_id is the SEC EDGAR accession number — a unique identifier in the format XXXXXXXXXX-YY-ZZZZZZ that permanently identifies every filing in the EDGAR system. You can use this to look up the full filing directly on the SEC website.

Q: Can I use this for non-US companies? A: This actor works for any company that files with the SEC — primarily US-listed public companies. Some foreign private issuers that trade on US exchanges also file with the SEC and are supported.

Q: What is Demo Mode for? A: Demo Mode returns pre-loaded sample records instantly — useful for testing your pipeline or previewing the output format without running a live EDGAR query.

Q: Can I export results to Excel or CSV? A: Yes. All results are pushed to the Apify dataset, which can be exported to JSON, CSV, Excel, and more directly from the Apify Console after each run completes.
