## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
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.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## SEC EDGAR Filings Scraper

Get a company's **recent SEC filings** — form type, filing date, accession number and a direct document URL — by ticker or CIK, via the official SEC EDGAR API.

### What it does

Turn tickers (or CIKs) into a clean list of that company's filings, optionally filtered to specific forms like 10-K or 8-K. Built for financial research, monitoring and compliance workflows.

### Example output

```json
{
  "cik": "0000320193",
  "company": "Apple Inc.",
  "form": "10-K",
  "filingDate": "2025-11-01",
  "reportDate": "2025-09-27",
  "accessionNumber": "0000320193-25-000100",
  "filingUrl": "https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/320193/000032019325000100/aapl-20250927.htm",
  "description": null
}
```

### Input

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `tickers` | Stock tickers to resolve to companies (one per entry). |
| `ciks` | SEC CIK numbers to fetch directly. |
| `formTypes` | Optional filter, e.g. `10-K`, `10-Q`, `8-K`. |
| `maxItems` | Hard cap on filings returned (cost protection). |

### Pricing

Pay per result. **1,000 filings ≈ $2** (see the pricing tab). You are only charged for filings actually returned.

### Limits & notes

- Returns the company's most recent filings (up to ~1,000 per company). Deep history archives are not included in this version.
- Uses a descriptive User-Agent as required by SEC's access policy.

### Legal

Uses the public SEC EDGAR API (US government open data). No login or paywall is bypassed.

### Support

Issues answered within **12 hours** — include your input and run ID.

# Actor input Schema

## `tickers` (type: `array`):

Stock tickers to resolve and fetch filings for. One per entry, e.g. \["AAPL", "MSFT"].

## `ciks` (type: `array`):

SEC CIK numbers to fetch directly (with or without leading zeros), e.g. \["320193"].

## `formTypes` (type: `array`):

Optional. Only keep these filing forms, e.g. \["10-K", "10-Q", "8-K"]. Empty = all recent filings.

## `maxItems` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on the number of filings returned (cost protection).

## Actor input object example

    "AAPL"
  ],
  "maxItems": 2000
}
```

# Actor output Schema

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {
    "tickers": [
        "AAPL"
    ]
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("vxc1104/sec-edgar-filings-scraper").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});

## Python example

```python
from apify_client import ApifyClient

# Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
# Replace '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token.
client = ApifyClient("<YOUR_API_TOKEN>")

# Prepare the Actor input
run_input = { "tickers": ["AAPL"] }

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("vxc1104/sec-edgar-filings-scraper").call(run_input=run_input)

# Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if there are any)
print(f"💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/{run.default_dataset_id}")
for item in client.dataset(run.default_dataset_id).iterate_items():
    print(item)

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "tickers": [
    "AAPL"
  ]
}' |
apify call vxc1104/sec-edgar-filings-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,vxc1104/sec-edgar-filings-scraper"
        }
    }
}

```

The hosted server signs you in with OAuth on first connect, so no API token belongs in this config. Clients without OAuth support can send an `Authorization: Bearer <APIFY_API_TOKEN>` header instead, using a token from API & Integrations in Apify Console (https://console.apify.com/settings/integrations).
