## 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.

The most complete Schedule 13D and 13G scraper available. It parses the beneficial-ownership cover page of each activist and >5% stake filing, so you get the holder, the subject company, the exact shares owned, the percent of class and the voting and dispositive power, plus the 13D Item 4 purpose text, and gives you three modes and five filters to target exactly the stakes you need.

### What it does

When an investor crosses 5% beneficial ownership of a US public company, they must file a Schedule 13D (active or activist intent) or Schedule 13G (passive) with the SEC, and amend it as the position changes. This actor finds those filings and reads the ownership cover page into a clean record: which company (subject issuer name, CIK and ticker), which class of securities and its CUSIP, who holds it (the reporting person and their CIK), how much they hold (aggregate shares and percent of class), how that ownership breaks down (sole and shared voting and dispositive power), and, for 13D filings, the Item 4 purpose text stating what the holder intends to do.

Three modes cover the common questions:

- **recent** returns the latest 13D and 13G filings across the whole market.
- **byIssuer** returns every activist and >5% stake in one company (by ticker or CIK).
- **byFiler** returns every stake filed by one activist or holder (by name).

Cover-page layouts vary between filers. The actor parses the fields that are reliably extractable and returns `null` for anything it cannot read from a given filing, rather than guessing.

### Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns the 10 most recent 13D and 13G stakes across the market.

```json
{
  "mode": "recent",
  "maxResults": 10
}
```

To see every activist and >5% holder of one company, use byIssuer:

```json
{
  "mode": "byIssuer",
  "issuerTicker": "AAPL",
  "maxResults": 10
}
```

To track one activist across all their targets, use byFiler:

```json
{
  "mode": "byFiler",
  "filerName": "Starboard",
  "maxResults": 10
}
```

### Input reference

### Run via API and CLI

Start a run and wait for it to finish, then read the dataset. Replace `<TOKEN>` with your Apify API token.

Run synchronously and get dataset items in one call:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~sec-13d-13g-activist-stakes-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"byIssuer","issuerTicker":"AAPL","maxResults":25}'
```

Start a run asynchronously:

```bash
curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~sec-13d-13g-activist-stakes-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"mode":"byFiler","filerName":"Elliott","formTypes":["SC 13D","SC 13D/A"],"maxResults":100}'
```

Apify CLI:

```bash
apify call scrapers_lat/sec-13d-13g-activist-stakes-scraper \
  --input '{"mode":"recent","minPercent":10,"maxResults":50}'
```

### Fetch results

Every run writes to a dataset. Fetch items as JSON, CSV, or Excel by changing `format`:

```bash
## JSON
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=json"

## CSV
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&clean=true&format=csv"

## Paginate large datasets
curl "https://api.apify.com/v2/datasets/<DATASET_ID>/items?token=<TOKEN>&offset=1000&limit=1000"
```

`<DATASET_ID>` is returned as `defaultDatasetId` in the run object. Use `offset` and `limit` to page through large result sets. `clean=true` drops empty and internal fields.

### Billing and limits

- **Pay per result.** You are charged per ownership record returned (`result` event), plus a small fixed per-run start fee. See the [pricing tab](https://apify.com/scrapers_lat/sec-13d-13g-activist-stakes-scraper/pricing) for current prices.
- **AI add-on.** The `withActivistIntent` add-on is opt-in, off by default, available on paid plans only, and charged only when a usable analysis is produced.
- **No charge on failure.** If a run cannot list filings it writes a single item with a populated `error` field and does not charge for it. Runs that match nothing cost nothing beyond the start fee.
- **Spend cap respected.** Set `maxTotalChargeUsd` on the run; once reached, the actor stops emitting and charging further billable results.
- **Free Apify plans** are capped at 10 records per run. Upgrade for higher `maxResults`.

### FAQ and troubleshooting

**What is the difference between a 13D and a 13G?**
Both are filed by holders of more than 5% of a class of a company's voting stock. A 13D signals active or activist intent and includes an Item 4 statement of purpose. A 13G is the short passive form used by investors who do not seek control, such as index funds. Amendments carry the `/A` suffix.

**Some ownership fields are null. Why?**
Cover-page formats differ between filers and filing agents. When a value such as the CUSIP, percent of class, or a voting-power row cannot be read reliably from a given filing, it is returned as `null` rather than guessed. Metadata from the filing index (form, holder, subject, dates, accession) is always present.

**Why is `purposeSummary` null on a 13G?**
Only Schedule 13D filings include an Item 4 purpose statement. 13G filings do not, so this field is `null` for them.

**How do I find only large concentrated stakes?**
Set `minPercent`, for example `10`, to keep only stakes at or above that percent of class. Filings whose percent cannot be parsed are kept so you do not silently miss them.

**How do I track one activist?**
Use `mode: byFiler` with `filerName` set to the investor or fund name. byFiler results are matched on the filer name and ordered by relevance from the source.

**Is this an official SEC tool?**
No. This actor is independent and has no affiliation with the SEC. It reads only data that is publicly available through SEC EDGAR, using a descriptive request identifier as SEC access requires.

# Actor input Schema

## `mode` (type: `string`):

How to find filings. 'recent' = latest 13D/13G stakes across the whole market. 'byIssuer' = every activist / >5% stake in one company (set issuerTicker or issuerCik). 'byFiler' = every stake filed by one activist / holder (set filerName).

## `filedSince` (type: `string`):

Optional. Only include filings on or after this date. Leave empty for the newest filings regardless of date.

## `minPercent` (type: `integer`):

Optional. Keep only stakes at or above this percent of the class (for example 10 for large concentrated positions). Filings whose percent cannot be parsed are kept.

## `withActivistIntent` (type: `boolean`):

Opt-in. For each 13D with an Item 4 purpose, add an AI read of the campaign: intent (activist/passive/strategic), campaign type, target implication and a one-line summary. Charged per successful analysis. Paid Apify plans only.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of 13D/13G ownership records to return. Free Apify plans are capped at 10 per run.
