## 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 Disclosure Candidate Watch

Watch official SEC EDGAR submissions for source-linked disclosure candidates, 8-K item metadata, filing deltas, exhibit links, and portfolio reports without investment advice.

Legal, IR, corp-dev, and competitive intelligence teams use this actor to track source-linked SEC disclosure candidates without investment advice.

### Store Quickstart

1. Start with the example input in `store-input.example.json`.
2. Keep `dryRun=true` for a sample row, then set `dryRun=false` only when the required source access is ready.
3. Review the output rows and `billingEventName` values before scheduling recurring runs.

### Input Examples

```json
{
  "issuers": [
    "MSFT"
  ],
  "formTypes": [
    "8-K",
    "10-K",
    "10-Q",
    "S-1"
  ],
  "daysBack": 90,
  "disclosureKeywords": [
    "customer agreement",
    "acquisition",
    "resignation",
    "cybersecurity",
    "regulatory"
  ],
  "secUserAgent": "",
  "generateReport": true,
  "emitUnchanged": false,
  "dryRun": true
}
````

```json
{
  "issuers": [
    "NVDA"
  ],
  "formTypes": [
    "8-K",
    "10-K",
    "10-Q",
    "S-1"
  ],
  "daysBack": 90,
  "disclosureKeywords": [
    "customer agreement",
    "acquisition",
    "resignation",
    "cybersecurity",
    "regulatory"
  ],
  "secUserAgent": "",
  "generateReport": true,
  "emitUnchanged": false,
  "dryRun": true
}
```

```json
{
  "issuers": [
    "MSFT"
  ],
  "formTypes": [
    "8-K"
  ],
  "daysBack": 90,
  "disclosureKeywords": [
    "customer agreement",
    "acquisition",
    "resignation",
    "cybersecurity",
    "regulatory"
  ],
  "secUserAgent": "your-company-edgar-watch/1.0 ops@yourcompany.com",
  "generateReport": true,
  "emitUnchanged": false,
  "dryRun": false
}
```

### Sample Output

See `docs/sample-output.json` for a complete sample.

### Output Fields

Every row includes:

- `billingEventName` for PAY\_PER\_EVENT charging
- `sourceName`, `sourceUrl`, `retrievedAt`, and `sourceMethod`
- `authorizationBasis`
- `limitations` and `prohibitedInterpretations`

### Pricing

PAY\_PER\_EVENT is planned with a very small actor-start event and outcome-priced rows:

- `sec-filing-detected`: $0.01
- `sec-disclosure-candidate-alert`: $0.35
- `sec-disclosure-report`: $12

No-change runs must emit zero default dataset rows and zero billable events by default.

### Compliance Guardrails

- Use official SEC EDGAR public APIs with a descriptive User-Agent.
- Do not provide investment advice, trading recommendations, legal materiality determinations, or market impact predictions.
- Stay within SEC fair-access request limits.
