## 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 Insider Transaction Intelligence

Analyze SEC Forms 3, 4, and 5 insider ownership filings using official EDGAR data.

The actor resolves ticker symbols to CIKs, reads issuer submissions, downloads ownership XML documents, and emits normalized transaction rows for insider purchases, sales, grants, option exercises, and derivative transactions.

### What It Does

- Resolve tickers or CIKs through SEC `company_tickers.json`
- Scan issuer submissions for Forms `3`, `4`, and `5`
- Download ownership XML from SEC Archives
- Extract owner role, transaction code, shares, price, value, ownership type, and filing URLs
- Optionally include holding rows from the same ownership documents

### Input

```json
{
  "issuers": ["MSFT", "NVDA"],
  "formTypes": ["4"],
  "daysBack": 180,
  "maxFilingsPerIssuer": 5,
  "transactionCodes": [],
  "minTransactionValue": 0,
  "includeDerivativeTransactions": true,
  "includeHoldings": false,
  "delivery": "dataset",
  "dryRun": false
}
````

Common transaction codes:

- `P`: open market or private purchase
- `S`: open market or private sale
- `A`: grant, award, or other acquisition
- `M`: option exercise or derivative conversion
- `F`: tax withholding or payment

### Output

Dataset delivery emits flattened rows:

- `issuer_summary`
- `insider_transaction`
- `insider_holding` when `includeHoldings=true`

The full output payload also includes `meta`, `issuerSummaries`, `transactions`, `holdings`, and `warnings`.

### SEC User-Agent

SEC asks automated tools to identify themselves. The actor has a default declared User-Agent, but production users should set `secUserAgent` with their own application and contact information.

### Local Run

```bash
npm install
npm test
node src/index.js
```

### Notes

This actor uses official public SEC data. It does not scrape private data, bypass access controls, or infer trading intent beyond the reported Form 3/4/5 fields.

# Actor input Schema

## `issuers` (type: `array`):

Ticker symbols or CIK numbers. Example: MSFT, NVDA, 0000789019.

## `formTypes` (type: `array`):

SEC ownership forms to include. Allowed values: 3, 4, 5.

## `daysBack` (type: `integer`):

How far back to scan issuer submissions for Forms 3, 4, and 5.

## `maxFilingsPerIssuer` (type: `integer`):

Maximum ownership filings to inspect for each issuer.

## `transactionCodes` (type: `array`):

Optional filter such as P, S, A, M. Leave empty to include all transaction codes.

## `minTransactionValue` (type: `number`):

Minimum absolute transaction value to keep. Set 0 to include all values.

## `includeDerivativeTransactions` (type: `boolean`):

## `includeHoldings` (type: `boolean`):

Also emit non-transaction holding rows from ownership documents.

## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`):

## `secUserAgent` (type: `string`):

Optional declared SEC User-Agent with contact information. The actor has a default, but production users should provide their own contact.

## `delivery` (type: `string`):
