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.

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

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

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

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

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

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:

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:

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:

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:

# 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 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.
