## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
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.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

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

# README

## China A-Share Analyst Research Report Monitor (研报)

**A keyless daily feed of Chinese sell-side research** — every new analyst report from [Eastmoney (研报)](https://data.eastmoney.com/report/), with the broker, researchers, **current + previous rating** (the upgrade/downgrade signal), target prices, and EPS/PE forecasts. Built for quant / systematic funds, alt-data desks, and China equity research.

No login. No API key. No CAPTCHA.

### The signal: rating changes

The tradable event is a broker moving a stock's rating — e.g. 增持 (accumulate) → 买入 (buy) is an upgrade. Every record carries `rating`, `previousRating`, and a derived `ratingChange` (`upgrade` / `downgrade` / `maintain` / `initiate` / `unknown` for reports with no rating). Set `ratingChangesOnly: true` to keep just the upgrades and downgrades.

### Report types

| `reportType` | |
|---|---|
| `stock` | Individual-stock reports (个股研报) — the default |
| `industry` | Industry reports (行业研报) |
| `strategy` | Strategy notes (策略报告) |
| `macro` | Macro research (宏观研究) |
| `brokerage_morning` | Brokerage morning meetings (券商晨会) |

### What you get (stock reports)

`infoCode`, `title`, `stockCode`, `stockName`, `broker` (+ full name), `researchers`, `publishDate`, `rating`, `previousRating`, `ratingChange`, `targetPriceHigh` / `targetPriceLow`, `epsThisYear` / `peThisYear`, `epsNextYear` / `peNextYear`, `industry`, `reportUrl`, `pdfUrl`.

A run rollup (rating-change counts, top brokers) is written to the key-value store `SUMMARY`.

### Built for a daily schedule

> **Turn on `deltaMode` + an Apify Schedule (daily).** Each run returns **only reports new since the last run** (deduped on `infoCode`), so you build a gap-free research feed and pay only for new reports.

### Example input

```json
{
    "reportType": "stock",
    "stockCodes": ["600519", "000858", "300750"],
    "ratingChangesOnly": true,
    "lookbackDays": 1,
    "deltaMode": true,
    "deltaStateKey": "my-watchlist"
}
````

Leave `stockCodes` empty to cover the whole market.

### Pricing

Pay-per-event: **$0.02 per report**. In `deltaMode` you're charged **only for genuinely new reports** since your last run.

### Notes & honest limitations

- Forecasts and ratings are the **broker's own**, as published — this feed reports them, it does not endorse them.
- `pdfUrl` follows Eastmoney's standard report-PDF pattern; a few older reports may not resolve — `reportUrl` (the report page) always works.
- Aggregated public research metadata — no personal data.
- Found a field you need or a bug? Open an issue on the Actor page — I typically respond within 48 hours.

# Actor input Schema

## `reportType` (type: `string`):

Which research feed to pull.

## `stockCodes` (type: `array`):

Optional: keep only reports on these 6-digit A-share codes, e.g. 600519, 000858, 300750. Leave empty for the whole market.

## `ratingChangesOnly` (type: `boolean`):

Keep only upgrades and downgrades — the tradable event — dropping rating-maintained and initiated coverage.

## `lookbackDays` (type: `integer`):

How many days back to pull (1 = today's reports for a daily schedule).

## `deltaMode` (type: `boolean`):

Return ONLY reports unseen since the last run (keyed on infoCode in a named store). Pair with a daily Apify Schedule for a gap-free research feed that only charges for new reports.

## `deltaStateKey` (type: `string`):

Name your delta stream so independent monitors don't collide.

## `maxResults` (type: `integer`):

Hard cap on reports returned.

## `proxyConfiguration` (type: `object`):

Eastmoney blocks datacenter IPs, so a residential proxy is required to get reports. Defaults to Apify Residential; you can supply your own proxy instead.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "reportType": "stock",
  "stockCodes": [],
  "ratingChangesOnly": false,
  "lookbackDays": 1,
  "deltaMode": false,
  "deltaStateKey": "default",
  "maxResults": 300,
  "proxyConfiguration": {
    "useApifyProxy": true,
    "apifyProxyGroups": [
      "RESIDENTIAL"
    ]
  }
}
```
