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. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## SEC EDGAR Filing Delta Monitor Monitor official SEC EDGAR filings for a ticker/CIK watchlist and return only new or changed filings in automation-ready JSON. ### What it does - Resolves tickers through the official SEC company ticker index. - Fetches recent filing metadata from the official SEC submissions JSON endpoint. - Filters by form type, filing date window, amendments, company/query text, accession number, and keywords. - Computes stable `new` / `changed` deltas using `CIK + accession number`. - Writes normalized filing alerts to the default dataset. - Writes `RUN_SUMMARY`, `WEBHOOK_PAYLOAD`, and `OUTPUT` to the default key-value store. ### What makes it different This is not another broad EDGAR extraction suite. It is similar to SEC EDGAR scrapers, but different because it is a stateful filing delta monitor for watchlists with compact automation/webhook outputs. V1 intentionally does not include XBRL extraction, 13F holdings parsing, insider-trade detail parsing, full-text search, primary-document text extraction, AI summaries, or investment advice. ### Recommended use Schedule the Actor for a watchlist: ```json { "mode": "delta", "changeMode": "new_and_changed", "stateKey": "portfolio-watchlist", "tickers": ["AAPL", "MSFT", "NVDA"], "filingTypes": ["8-K", "10-Q", "10-K", "4"], "relativeDateFromDays": 30, "maxItems": 100, "includeAmendments": false, "webhookMode": "summary", "userAgentEmail": "you@example.com" } ```` Use a separate `stateKey` for each distinct watchlist or alert workflow. ### Output fields - `change_type` - `ticker` - `company_name` - `cik` - `filing_type` - `accession_number` - `filed_at` - `accepted_at` - `reporting_period` - `items` - `primary_document_url` - `filing_detail_url` - `source_url` - `stable_id` - `state_key` - `matched_keywords` - `matched_fields` ### Fair access The Actor declares a User-Agent on SEC requests. Use a real contact email in `userAgentEmail`, keep schedules reasonable, and avoid unnecessarily large watchlists. ### Disclaimer This Actor is unofficial and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. It uses public SEC EDGAR data. # Actor input Schema ## `mode` (type: `string`): Use delta for monitor-style runs or snapshot to return the current filtered set. ## `changeMode` (type: `string`): When mode is delta, choose whether to return new filings only or both new and changed filings. ## `stateKey` (type: `string`): Logical state bucket. Use a different value for each distinct watchlist. ## `tickers` (type: `array`): Public company tickers to monitor, resolved through the official SEC company tickers index. ## `ciks` (type: `array`): Optional CIKs to monitor directly. Values are normalized to 10-digit SEC CIKs. ## `filingTypes` (type: `array`): SEC form types to return, for example 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, or 4. ## `maxItems` (type: `integer`): Limit the number of items returned in the output. State is still computed from the full filtered set. ## `dateFrom` (type: `string`): Optional lower bound for filing date in YYYY-MM-DD format. ## `dateTo` (type: `string`): Optional upper bound for filing date in YYYY-MM-DD format. ## `relativeDateFromDays` (type: `integer`): If Filing date from is empty, derive it automatically as today minus this many days. ## `query` (type: `string`): Free text query for company, ticker, filing type, and primary document description. ## `companyNameContains` (type: `string`): Case-insensitive substring filter for company names. ## `accessionNumber` (type: `string`): Fetch a specific accession number when known. ## `keywordList` (type: `array`): Optional keyword list matched against company, ticker, form, accession, document description, and item fields. ## `requireKeywordMatch` (type: `boolean`): If enabled, filings are returned only when at least one keyword matches. ## `includeAmendments` (type: `boolean`): If disabled, amended forms ending in /A are excluded. ## `includeRaw` (type: `boolean`): Attach the raw SEC filing object to each item. Useful for debugging but increases output size. ## `includeUnchanged` (type: `boolean`): When mode is delta, include unchanged items in the selected set. ## `webhookMode` (type: `string`): Choose whether to disable webhook payloads, send only a summary, or include all selected items. ## `userAgentEmail` (type: `string`): Contact email included in SEC request User-Agent headers for fair-access compliance. ## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`): Delay between company submissions requests. Keep this polite for SEC fair access. ## Actor input object example ```json { "mode": "delta", "changeMode": "new_and_changed", "stateKey": "default", "tickers": [ "AAPL", "MSFT" ], "ciks": [], "filingTypes": [ "8-K", "10-Q", "10-K", "4" ], "maxItems": 100, "dateFrom": "", "dateTo": "", "relativeDateFromDays": 30, "query": "", "companyNameContains": "", "accessionNumber": "", "keywordList": [], "requireKeywordMatch": false, "includeAmendments": false, "includeRaw": false, "includeUnchanged": false, "webhookMode": "summary", "userAgentEmail": "danilyarmolchik@gmail.com", "requestDelayMs": 150 } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `filingAlerts` (type: `string`): Default dataset items containing new or changed normalized SEC filing records. ## `runSummary` (type: `string`): Compact summary with counts and selected configuration. ## `webhookPayload` (type: `string`): Compact payload suitable for downstream alerting workflows. ## `fullOutput` (type: `string`): Full JSON output object containing summary, items, and webhook payload. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
