SEC Filing Monitor

Watch any public company's SEC EDGAR filing feed for new 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K (or any other form type) filings, straight from the source.

What you get

For every company CIK you check, this Actor scans their recent EDGAR filing history and returns one row per matching filing:

• Form type (8-K, 10-Q, 10-K, or any type you specify)
• Filing date and the period the filing covers
• Accession number and direct links to the filing index and primary document
• For 8-K filings, the reported item numbers (e.g. 2.02 Results of Operations, 5.02 Officer Changes)

Why this instead of an IR alert service

Most filing-alert tools are built for compliance teams and priced accordingly, or bury the actual document behind a dashboard. This Actor reads straight from data.sec.gov and sec.gov/Archives, so you get the same filing SEC itself publishes the moment it's indexed, exportable as JSON/CSV/Excel, and pipeable into your own alerts or research.

Who this is for

Investors, analysts, and researchers who want to catch new 8-Ks (material events), 10-Qs (quarterly reports), and 10-Ks (annual reports) for a watchlist of companies without paying for a compliance-grade EDGAR terminal. Works well as a scheduled daily or hourly check.

How to use it

1. Add the CIK numbers of the companies you want to watch. A few well-known ones to get started:
   • 0000320193 - Apple Inc
   • 0000789019 - Microsoft Corp
   • 0001318605 - Tesla Inc
   • 0001045810 - NVIDIA Corp
   • Find any company's CIK by searching their name at SEC EDGAR company search.
2. Choose which form types to watch for (defaults to 8-K, 10-Q, 10-K - add others like 10-K/A, DEF 14A, or S-1 if you need them).
3. Optionally set a "since date" to only pull filings from a certain point forward.
4. Run it. Each CIK is checked against its recent EDGAR filing history and every matching filing is returned.
5. Schedule it daily or hourly on Apify to build a running filing-alert feed.

FAQ

Does this need SEC login or an API key? No. SEC EDGAR's data endpoints are public.

What if a company has no matching filings? You get a row explaining that, so you can tell "no new filings" apart from "not checked."

How far back does this look? SEC's submissions API returns each company's most recent filing history (typically the last several years or ~1,000 filings, whichever is smaller). Use "since date" plus a scheduled run to build a forward-looking alert feed.
