What it does

The actor runs a full-text search across SEC EDGAR filings (2001 onward), applies your form-type and date filters, paginates through the matching hits, and writes one normalized record per filing to the run's dataset. Each record identifies the filer (name, ticker, CIK, industry, location, state of incorporation) and the exact document that matched, with its human-readable description, form items, SEC file and film numbers, all named registrants on the filing, and direct links to the matched document and the filing index.

Wrap a phrase in double quotes for an exact match, for example "artificial intelligence". The SEC index returns at most 10,000 filings per query.

Quickstart

Open the actor, paste this into the input, and press Run. It returns 10 recent 10-K filings that mention artificial intelligence.

{
  "maxFilings": 10,
  "query": "artificial intelligence",
  "forms": ["10-K"]
}

Leave forms empty to search all form types. Add dateFrom and dateTo to restrict the filing date range.

Input reference

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
query	string	yes	artificial intelligence	Words or phrase to search for in filing text. Wrap a phrase in double quotes for an exact match, for example "artificial intelligence".
forms	string[]	no	["10-K"]	Limit results to these form types, for example 10-K, 8-K, S-1. Leave empty to search all forms.

dateTo	string	no	(empty)	Only return filings filed on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD).

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-edgar-fulltext-scraper/run-sync-get-dataset-items?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"\"artificial intelligence\"","forms":["10-K","8-K"],"maxFilings":50}'

Start a run asynchronously:

curl -X POST "https://api.apify.com/v2/acts/scrapers_lat~sec-edgar-fulltext-scraper/runs?token=<TOKEN>" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query":"cybersecurity incident","dateFrom":"2024-01-01","dateTo":"2024-12-31","maxFilings":500}'

Apify CLI:

apify call scrapers_lat/sec-edgar-fulltext-scraper \
  --input '{"query":"artificial intelligence","forms":["10-K"],"maxFilings":10}'

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. clean=true drops empty and internal fields.

Billing and limits

• Pay per result. You are charged per filing returned (result event). See the pricing tab for the current per-result price.
• No charge on failure. If a run errors, the actor writes a single item with a populated error field and does not charge for it. Empty runs cost nothing.
• 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 maxFilings.
• Source window ceiling. The EDGAR full-text index returns at most 10,000 filings per query and covers filings from 2001 onward. For larger pulls, split the work with narrower date ranges.

FAQ and troubleshooting

A run returned 0 filings. Why? The query and filters matched nothing. Loosen the phrase, remove the forms filter, or widen the date range. Zero-result runs are not charged.

How do I do an exact-phrase search? Wrap the phrase in double quotes inside query, for example "artificial intelligence". Without quotes the words are matched individually.

What does the matched document look like? fileName, fileType, and fileDescription identify the exact document that matched, and url links straight to it. filingUrl links to the full filing index.

How far back does the search go? The SEC full-text index covers filings from 2001 onward.

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 the SEC EDGAR full-text search index.
