Daily Market Briefing: SEC Red Flags, Earnings, IPOs, Macro

One run gives you the morning market briefing, built only from official US government sources:

• SEC red flags from the last 24 hours, most serious first: bankruptcies, restatements, auditor changes, delisting notices, late filings, cybersecurity incidents, and insider purchases of $100K or more.
• Earnings releases from the latest day with any, with the headline numbers pulled out.
• IPO filings this week (new S-1/F-1 registrations, amendments, final pricings). SPACs are left out.
• Macro snapshot: Treasury yields (10-year, 2-year, inversion), CPI, unemployment, payrolls, and the Fed funds rate.

It opens with a few plain-English summary sentences, so you, or your AI agent, can read it in seconds.

Who it is for

• Investors and analysts who want one morning read instead of checking EDGAR, Treasury and BLS separately.
• People who watch specific stocks: give a watchlist and the alerts and earnings are narrowed to your tickers.
• AI agents and automations (n8n, Make, Zapier, Slack bots) that post a daily market note. Schedule this Actor every weekday morning with Apify Schedules.

Input

Field	Required	What it does
tickers	no	A watchlist of US tickers, e.g. ["AAPL", "NVDA", "TSLA"]. SEC alerts and earnings are filtered to these. Leave empty for the whole market.
include	no	Pick sections: alerts, earnings, ipos, economy. Default: all four.

Example:

{ "tickers": ["AAPL", "NVDA", "JPM"] }

One dataset item per run. This is a real run (2026-10-21, whole market), shortened to one entry per list:

Pricing

$0.02 per briefing (pay per event: you pay only when a briefing is delivered). Apify platform usage is included. Apify also adds its standard run-start fee of $0.00005. A briefing every weekday costs about $0.44 a month.

Limitations (please read)

• Coverage window: SEC alerts come from EDGAR's live feed, which covers roughly the last few business days. "Last 24 hours" means filings EDGAR accepted in the 24 hours before the run.
• Missing figures: if a source hasn't published a figure yet, or doesn't answer, that figure is null. A section whose source is completely down is listed in unavailable.
• Alerts: these are detected from 8-K item codes and Form 4 filings. They are a screening aid, not investment advice; read the linked filing before acting.
• Scope: US-listed companies only. There are no stock prices or news articles, only official filings and government statistics.

Use it from an AI agent (MCP)

This Actor runs with Apify's default limited permissions, so it is available through Apify's MCP server. Add it to Claude, Cursor or any MCP client with:

https://mcp.apify.com?tools=<publisher>/daily-market-briefing

The agent then calls it with input like {"tickers": ["AAPL"]}. Results land in the run's dataset; the MCP server's get-dataset-items tool reads them.

Data sources

SEC EDGAR, U.S. Department of the Treasury, Bureau of Labor Statistics, and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. All are public-domain US government data. Requests identify this service to SEC as its fair-access policy requires.
