SEC Form D Scraper: New Startup Funding Rounds & Placements

$5 per 1,000 filings ($3 on the Gold tier), no start fee, no API key. On a schedule, only filings you have not received before are billed.

When a private company raises money from investors, it must file a Form D with the SEC within 15 days of the first sale. That filing is the earliest public, verifiable record of a round: who raised, how much they sold so far, how big the offering is, how many investors, under which exemption, and who the officers and directors are. This Actor turns EDGAR into a daily feed of those filings, with the pooled investment funds (hedge, PE and venture funds, SPVs and REIT vehicles claiming a Section 3(c) exclusion, together about half of all Form Ds) filtered out by default, and a check of the issuer's filing history so you know whether this is the company's first outside raise.

Built on EDGAR's daily form index, its live filings feed, each filing's XML, and the submissions API, all public and free. The Actor declares itself to the SEC as its fair-access policy asks and never exceeds five requests a second.

Amounts are numbers in US dollars; an offering marked "Indefinite" has totalOfferingAmount: null and offeringIndefinite: true. relatedPersons are the officers, directors and promoters the issuer lists, with their roles; their addresses are not included. salesCompensation lists any broker-dealer or finder paid on the offering, with CRD numbers. isFirstFormD is true when EDGAR has no earlier Form D for the issuer, priorFormDCount and previousFormDDate describe the earlier ones (null when the history check is off). viewerUrl opens the SEC's human-readable rendering of the filing.

One summary row (kind: "summary", free) reports the date window, how many filings were in it, how many were skipped as already delivered, as pooled funds, or by your other filters, how many could not be read, how many EDGAR requests were made, whether the SEC rate limit was hit, and whether the run stopped at your spending cap, so an empty result explains itself.

Filter on kind to keep one row type; the Console view Filings shows the useful columns.

Input

Field	What it does
Filed within (days)	Look-back in calendar days before today (US Eastern), plus today. Default 1. Past days come from the complete daily index; today comes from the live feed.
New filings only	Default on: original Form Ds only. Off adds Form D/A amendments (annual updates, revised amounts), marked isAmendment.
Exclude pooled investment funds	Default on: drops the Pooled Investment Fund industry group and any issuer claiming an Investment Company Act Section 3(c) exclusion (funds, SPVs, REIT feeders). Off includes them.
Industry groups	Form D industry groups to keep, e.g. Biotechnology, Other Technology, Commercial (real estate). Empty means any.
Issuer states	Two-letter codes of the issuer's principal address.
Minimum amount sold / total offering	Dollar floors. Indefinite offerings always pass the offering floor.
Only Rule 506(c)	Offerings that may be advertised publicly.
Check for earlier Form Ds	Default on; one extra request per delivered filing adds isFirstFormD, priorFormDCount, previousFormDDate.
First-time filers only	Only issuers with no earlier Form D on EDGAR.
Only new since last run	Default on. Remembers what each snapshot name has delivered (90 days) and skips it next time.
Snapshot name	Which memory "only new" uses; kept on your account as a key-value store named sec-form-d-funding-feed-<name>. Give each schedule its own name.
Max filings per run	Default 500, newest first.
Proxy	Normally off. Turn on if the summary row reports SEC rate limiting.

Examples:

{ "filedWithinDays": 1 }

Yesterday's and today's new raises by operating companies, with first-time-filer flags: the default.

{ "industryGroups": ["Biotechnology", "Pharmaceuticals", "Other Health Care"], "minAmountSold": 5000000, "filedWithinDays": 7 }

Health-care companies that closed at least $5M this week.

{ "firstTimeFilersOnly": true, "states": ["IA", "NE", "MN", "MO"], "filedWithinDays": 30 }

Companies in four Midwestern states raising outside money for the first time, last 30 days.

Pricing

Event	Free	Bronze	Silver	Gold and above
Form D filing	$0.005	$0.0045	$0.00375	$0.003

EDGAR receives about 160 to 180 new Form Ds on a business day, of which roughly 60 to 90 are operating companies. The default daily run therefore costs $0.30 to $0.45 a day, about $7.50 to $10 a month, for every new private raise in the country with the officers' names and the first-time-filer flag. A filtered feed (one industry, one region, a dollar floor) is a few cents a day. The summary row is free, and so is an empty run. Set a maximum total charge on the run to cap spend; the Actor stops cleanly when it is reached and never delivers rows it could not bill.

Use cases

• Sales triggers: a company that just raised has budget; a first-time filer just got its first outside money. Pipe rows into your CRM with the officers' names and the filing link.
• Venture and angel deal flow: see every round in your sector or region within a day of the filing, including rounds no press release announced.
• Wealth management and service providers: founders and executives of newly funded companies, from the public record, with roles.
• Journalists and analysts: who raised, how much, from how many investors, under which exemption, with the SEC's own rendering one click away.
• AI agents: ask "which biotech companies closed a round this week" through the Apify MCP server and get structured rows.

Data source and limits

• Filings are listed from EDGAR's daily form index (complete for each past business day, published early the next morning) and from the latest-filings feed for today, then read from each filing's primary_doc.xml. History comes from the SEC's submissions API. All are US government public-domain records.
• The SEC asks automated tools to declare themselves and stay under 10 requests a second; the Actor does both and retries with backoff if the SEC throttles. A filing that still cannot be read is counted in the summary row, not delivered, and picked up on the next run.
• Filing dates follow EDGAR's US Eastern calendar. Filings accepted after 5:30 pm Eastern are dated the next business day. Weekends and holidays have no filings.
• The latest-filings feed is read back to the newest day already covered by a daily index, at most 4,000 entries, which covers several days of Form D volume.
• Officers, directors and promoters are listed exactly as the issuer discloses them on the form, by name and role only; no personal data is added from any other source.
• At the end of each run the Actor reports run counts (rows delivered, events charged, duration, status) to its maintainer's dashboard. It never sends your input, your results, or anything about your account.
