SEC EDGAR Filing Monitor - New Filings by Ticker

Schedule this Actor on Apify (or from n8n / Make) to watch new SEC EDGAR filings by ticker — 8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, Form 4, 13F — and receive only filings you have not already seen.

The official SEC JSON API is used (no key). The User-Agent identifies Technical Dost Solutions and a contact email, as SEC requires. First onlyNew run returns maxItems and baselines the rest so a daily schedule is not billed for history.

Earnings desks, IR teams, and compliance monitors map 8-K item codes and a materialityScore (earnings / officer / agreement) into Slack.

What does SEC EDGAR Filing Monitor do?

It resolves tickers via company_tickers.json, pulls data.sec.gov/submissions/CIK{cik}.json, filters form types (amendments included), and writes document URLs. New-only mode stores accession numbers in a named key-value store.

It does not parse full XBRL financials.

Why monitor EDGAR filings?

• 8-K earnings, officer, and material-agreement alerts
• Form 4 insider feeds
• 10-K / 10-Q document URLs for research pipelines
• Competitor filing watches

What data can it extract?

Field	Type	Description
ticker / cik / companyName	string	Issuer
form / filingDate / items	string	Form metadata and 8-K items
documentUrl	string	Primary document
materialityScore / materialityLabel	number / string	Keyword + TF-IDF theme

How to monitor SEC filings

1. Try tickers: ["AAPL","MSFT"], forms: ["8-K","10-K"], onlyNew: true, maxItems: 10.
2. Schedule daily after US market close or every hour around earnings.
3. Filter materialityLabel in n8n.
4. Call technicaldost/sec-edgar-filing-monitor from MCP.

FAQ and support

Official SEC fair-access: we send a User-Agent with contact and rate-limit requests. Data is public EDGAR. Open Issues for bugs.

Use SEC EDGAR Filing Monitor with AI agents (MCP)

Give Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, VS Code or any MCP client this Actor as a tool through the hosted Apify MCP server. The agent sees the input fields with descriptions and example values, runs the Actor, and reads the results.

MCP server URL (this Actor only):

https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/sec-edgar-filing-monitor

Claude Code:

$claude mcp add --transport http apify "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/sec-edgar-filing-monitor" --header "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN"

Cursor, VS Code, Claude Desktop and other clients (mcp.json or the client's MCP settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "apify": {
      "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=technicaldost/sec-edgar-filing-monitor",
      "headers": { "Authorization": "Bearer YOUR_APIFY_TOKEN" }
    }
  }
}

Clients that support sign-in (such as Claude.ai connectors) can use the URL without a token and log in to Apify instead. Get your token in Apify Console → Settings → API & Integrations, or generate a ready config for your client at mcp.apify.com. In the agent the tool is named technicaldost--sec-edgar-filing-monitor; ask it, for example, to "run SEC EDGAR Filing Monitor with {"tickers": ["AAPL", "MSFT"], "forms": ["8-K", "10-K"], "onlyNew": true, "maxItems": 10}".

AI agents without an Apify account can also run and pay for this Actor per request with x402 agentic payments.

for item in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(item)

const run = await client.actor('technicaldost/sec-edgar-filing-monitor').call({"tickers": ["AAPL", "MSFT"], "forms": ["8-K", "10-K"], "onlyNew": true, "maxItems": 10});
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
