## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Insider Form 4

Scrape SEC filings for any US public company by ticker or CIK — 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly reports, 8-K material events, Form 4 insider trades, S-1 IPO prospectuses, and more. Direct PDF/HTML links included.

### What you get

- One row per filing, with the full filing metadata
- Direct **filing URL** to the primary document (HTML, PDF, or XBRL) and **index URL** to the full filing folder
- Form type, filing date, report date, acceptance datetime, accession number, file/film numbers
- For **8-K filings**: the `items` field shows which 8-K items were triggered (1.01 acquisition, 2.01 completion, 5.02 executive change, etc.)
- For **annual / quarterly reports**: `isXBRL` and `isInlineXBRL` flags so you can target financial-data filings
- Company metadata: SIC code, SIC description, and EDGAR-registered name
- Direct export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets

### Use cases

- Earnings calendar — every 10-Q / 10-K for a watchlist, exported to a spreadsheet
- Insider trading dashboard — Form 4 transactions for executives at companies you follow
- M&A monitoring — 8-K items 1.01, 2.01, and 8.01 surface acquisitions and material events
- IPO pipeline — S-1 and S-1/A filings as companies move toward listing
- 5%+ ownership tracking — 13D/13G filings reveal activist and institutional positions
- Compliance / due-diligence pulls — a clean filing manifest for any public company

### How to use

1. Enter a **Ticker** (e.g. `AAPL`, `TSLA`, `BRK.B`) — or a **CIK** if you have one
2. Optionally restrict to specific **Filing types** (e.g. `10-K`, `10-Q`, `8-K`, `4`)
3. Optionally filter by **Filed on or after** / **Filed on or before** dates (YYYY-MM-DD)
4. Set **Max items** (default 100; 0 for no cap)
5. To fetch the full archive (10K+ filings for long-lived filers like Apple or GE), enable **Include full filing history**
6. Run the actor — one filing per row in the **Dataset** tab

- All data is sourced from the SEC's public `data.sec.gov` JSON endpoints — no scraping of HTML pages
- The SEC limits requests to 10/second; this actor stays well under that

# Actor input Schema

## `ticker` (type: `string`):

Stock ticker (e.g. 'AAPL', 'TSLA', 'BRK.B'). Either 'ticker' or 'cik' is required.

## `cik` (type: `string`):

SEC Central Index Key (e.g. '320193' for Apple). Use instead of ticker for private filers or to skip the ticker lookup.

## `filingTypes` (type: `array`):

Restrict to specific forms. Examples: '10-K' (annual), '10-Q' (quarterly), '8-K' (material event), '4' (insider trade), 'S-1' (IPO), 'DEF 14A' (proxy), '13F-HR' (institutional holdings), '13D'/'13G' (5%+ ownership), 'SC TO-T' (tender offer). Leave empty for all filings.

## `dateAfter` (type: `string`):

Optional. Only include filings filed on or after this date.

## `dateBefore` (type: `string`):

Optional. Only include filings filed on or before this date.

## `includeAllHistory` (type: `boolean`):

By default, returns only the ~1,000 most recent filings (covers ~5–15 years for most filers). Enable to also fetch older archive files (slower; can return 10K+ filings for long-lived companies).

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Maximum filings to return. 0 = no cap.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "ticker": "AAPL",
  "filingTypes": [
    "10-K",
    "10-Q",
    "8-K"
  ],
  "includeAllHistory": false,
  "maxItems": 100
}
```

# Actor output Schema
