## 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.

## 📊 SEC EDGAR Monitor

Monitor SEC EDGAR filings for US public companies by ticker or CIK. Filter by form type (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1). No API key, just User-Agent header.

### Store Quickstart

Start with the **Quickstart** template (AAPL, MSFT, 10-K). For ongoing monitoring, use **Quarterly Watch** with 8-K + 10-Q + 7-day lookback.

### Key Features

- 📊 **All major form types** — 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, DEF 14A, and more
- 🏢 **Ticker or CIK lookup** — Both identifiers supported
- 📅 **Date range filtering** — Look back N days for recent filings
- 🔗 **Direct filing URLs** — Jump straight to full SEC filing text
- 📝 **Filing descriptions** — Short description per filing
- 🔑 **No API key needed** — SEC EDGAR public access

### Use Cases

| Who | Why |
|-----|-----|
| **Investment analysts** | Track 10-K/10-Q releases for covered companies |
| **Compliance teams** | Monitor 8-K material events for risk signals |
| **M&A advisors** | Track S-1 IPO filings in target sectors |
| **Journalism/research** | Discover corporate disclosures by form type |
| **Financial newsrooms** | Alert on earnings filings (10-Q) across coverage |

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|-------|------|---------|-------------|
| companies | object[] | (required) | List of {ticker} or {cik} |
| formTypes | string[] | ["10-K"] | Form types to filter |
| daysBack | integer | 90 | Days to look back |

### Input Example

```json
{
  "companies": [{"ticker": "AAPL"}, {"ticker": "MSFT"}],
  "formTypes": ["10-K", "10-Q"],
  "daysBack": 90
}
````
