SEC Filings Monitor: 8-K, 10-K and S-1 Alerts

What does SEC Filings Monitor do?

SEC Filings Monitor returns new filings from SEC EDGAR as they are published: 8-K current reports, 10-K and 10-Q reports, S-1 and F-1 registrations, proxy statements, late-filing notices, deregistrations and delistings. Filter by form, ticker, CIK, company name or 8-K item (for example 1.05, a material cybersecurity incident), and get each filing's items, period, industry, state of incorporation, business address and a link to EDGAR. Schedule it with Only new results for a clean feed of new filings.

It collects data from US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) EDGAR and returns clean, structured results you can download or pull through the Apify API.

Why use SEC Filings Monitor?

• Investors and analysts: follow the companies you hold or cover and see earnings releases (8-K item 2.02), guidance and material agreements the day they are filed.
• Risk, compliance and security teams: watch for 8-K item 1.05 cybersecurity incidents, auditor changes (4.01), restatements (4.02) and delisting notices across all companies or your vendors.
• Deal, IPO and capital markets watchers: a daily list of new S-1, F-1 and 424B4 filings, mergers (S-4) and going-private steps.
• Journalists and researchers: officer and director changes (5.02), shareholder votes (5.07) and late-filing notices (NT 10-K) as a structured feed.
• AI agents: structured filing metadata with links to the official documents, billed per filing.
• Runs on the Apify platform: schedule runs, call it through the API, connect it to integrations, and get notified when a run fails.

How to use SEC Filings Monitor

1. Open the actor and select Try for free.
2. Fill in Form types, Tickers. The prefilled example works as a first test.
3. Set Maximum results to control how much data, and cost, a run produces.
4. Select Start and wait for the run to finish.
5. Download the results as JSON, CSV, Excel or HTML, or fetch them through the API.

How much does it cost to use SEC Filings Monitor?

You pay per result: $5.00 per 1,000 results ($0.005 each), plus Apify's small start fee of $0.0001 per run. For example, 1,000 results cost about $5.00. You can set a maximum cost per run in the run options, and the actor stops cleanly when it is reached.

Subscribers to Apify's paid plans pay less per result: 10% off on Bronze, 20% off on Silver and 30% off on Gold and higher plans.

Get only new results

Turn on Only new results and schedule the actor (for example daily) to use it as a monitor: each run skips what earlier runs already returned, so you get a feed of new records and pay only for those. The first run returns everything that matches. The memory lives in your own Apify account; give runs the same Monitor name to share it when you change other inputs.

Use it from AI agents

AI agents can find and run SEC Filings Monitor as a tool through Apify's MCP server (mcp.apify.com) or the Apify API, and get the same structured results, billed per result. Without code, Apify's Zapier, Make and n8n integrations can start it and send each new result to a sheet, CRM or chat.

Input

See the Input tab for every option. The main fields:

Field	Type	Default	Description
formTypes	array	["8-K"]	Which filings to return. Ownership and insider forms (3, 4, 5, 144, 13D, 13G) are not offered: their filers are often individuals.
tickers	array	[]	Only filings by these companies, for example AAPL, MSFT. Leave empty for every company.
ciks	array	[]	Only filings by these SEC Central Index Keys, for companies without a ticker.
companyNameContains	string	""	Only companies whose name contains this text.
itemCodes	array	[]	Only 8-Ks reporting one of these items, for example 1.05 (material cybersecurity incident), 2.02 (results), 5.02 (officer or director changes), 1.01 (material agreement), 2.01 (acquisition), 4.01 (auditor change). Write them as 5.02 or Item 5.02. Only 8-Ks are filtered by item; other chosen forms come through in full. Leave empty for all.
daysBack	integer	3	Calendar days back from Filed until (or from today when it is empty). Weekends and market holidays have no EDGAR index and are skipped; each day's index appears in the evening. Ignored when Filed from is set.
dateFrom	string	""	Only filings on or after this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave empty to use Days back.
dateTo	string	""	Only filings on or before this date (YYYY-MM-DD). Leave empty for today.
includeAmendments	boolean	false	Also return amended filings (8-K/A, 10-K/A and so on).
includeDetails	boolean	true	Read each filing's header for 8-K items, period, acceptance time, industry, state of incorporation and business address. One extra request per filing; turned on automatically when 8-K items are chosen.
maxResults	integer	1000	Stop after this many results. Each result costs $0.005, so this also caps the cost of a run. Use 0 for no limit. Keep it low for a first test.
onlyNew	boolean	false	Monitoring mode: skip results this monitor returned in earlier runs, so a scheduled run returns, and bills, only what is new. The first run returns everything that matches.
monitorName	string	""	Runs with the same name share one memory of returned results, even if you change other inputs. Leave empty to keep a separate memory for each distinct input.

Example input:

{
  "formTypes": [
    "8-K"
  ],
  "daysBack": 5,
  "maxResults": 20
}

Tips

• For a watchlist, enter tickers and choose 8-K, 10-K and 10-Q: a daily run with Only new results returns each new filing once.
• To watch one kind of event across the market, choose 8-K and enter item codes, for example 1.05 or 4.02. Item filters read every 8-K's header, so allow a few minutes for long date ranges.
• Turn Include filing details off for the fastest run when you only need the list of filings.
• EDGAR publishes each business day's index in the evening US Eastern time; a schedule in the morning (UTC) catches the full previous day.
• Schedule the actor to keep a dataset fresh, and use the API or integrations to send new results where you need them.

FAQ, disclaimers, and support

Where does the data come from?

From US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) EDGAR (www.sec.gov). Data is used under: SEC EDGAR filings are public records published by the US Government (17 U.S.C. 105) for free access; automated access is allowed within SEC's fair-access limit of 10 requests per second. See the source's terms: https://www.sec.gov/os/accessing-edgar-data

Is it legal to use this data?

This actor only collects publicly available data from US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) EDGAR and does not collect personal data about private individuals. Check that your use complies with the source's terms and the laws that apply to you. This actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) EDGAR.

Which forms are covered?

Company filings: 8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, 20-F, 40-F, 6-K, S-1, S-3, S-4, S-8, F-1, F-3, 424B4, proxy statements (DEF 14A, DEFA14A, PRE 14A), 10-12B, 8-A12B, NT 10-K, NT 10-Q, 15-12G, 25-NSE, Regulation A (1-A) and crowdfunding (C) offerings, with their amendments on request. Ownership and insider filings (Forms 3, 4, 5, 144, Schedules 13D and 13G) are left out because their filers are often individuals.

How fresh is the data?

EDGAR publishes each business day's index in the evening US Eastern time, so a run returns filings up to the previous business day, often the same day.

Does it return the filing text?

No. It returns each filing's metadata and header details with a link to the filing on EDGAR, where the documents and exhibits are.

Is this data free to reuse?

Yes. SEC EDGAR filings are public records published by the US Government. The actor stays within the SEC's fair-access limit of 10 requests per second.

Which days does a run cover?

Business days only: EDGAR publishes no index for weekends and market holidays, and a day's index appears in the evening (US Eastern time), so today is empty until then. The log names every day skipped. If the SEC rate-limits the run, it stops with that reason instead of skipping days, so a scheduled run with Only new results picks them up next time.

Can I watch a company that co-files with others?

Yes. Filters by CIK, ticker or name match every company listed on a filing, including co-registrants, and the result names the company that matched. CIKs can be written as 320193 or CIK0000320193.
