## 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 Form D Scraper

**Which Form D actor?** This is the **raw-data** one — the deepest field set parsed from each Form D filing, one row per filing. For server-side filtered monitoring of new raises, use the *Form D Tracker*. Scrape raw SEC Form D private-placement filings. Built for VCs, deal scouts, founders and AI agents.

Factual public data — not financial or investment advice.

### ⏰ Run this as a funding watch (recommended)

Every IP registry actor is a monitoring subscription, not a one-shot lookup. Schedule a weekly sweep and catch new filings as they land:

```json
{
  "query": "fintech",
  "limit": 100
}
```

Weekly cron (`0 8 * * 1`) turns this into an always-on funding watch.

### 📊 What you get

Clean JSON, one record per filing (full output has 10 fields):

- `accession_number` — Accession number
- `cik` — Cik
- `entity_name` — Entity name
- `filing_date` — Filing date
- `form_type` — Form type
- `total_offering_amount` — Total offering amount
- `total_amount_sold` — Total amount sold
- `investors_count` — Investors count
- `industry_group` — Industry group
- `filing_url` — Filing url

**Pricing:** $0.15 per filing (Pay-Per-Event) — about **7 filings per $1**.

### 🤖 Use with AI agents

Point Claude, the OpenAI Agents SDK, an n8n flow or any MCP-aware client at it and run raw SEC Form D private-raise filings on demand.

**Sample agent prompt:**

```
Pull the last 20 Form D filings in a sector with full offering detail.
```

**Agentic payments (x402):** Supports agentic payment via x402 — agents can call this actor with USDC, no API key required.

*Data from public funding, filing and directory sources. Factual public data — not financial or investment advice.*

# Actor input Schema

## `dateFrom` (type: `string`):

Inclusive start date for the filing-date range. SEC's full-text search supports custom ranges going back to 2001.

## `dateTo` (type: `string`):

Inclusive end date for the filing-date range. Use a small window (1-3 months) for narrow research; the full year is fine for bulk pulls.

## `query` (type: `string`):

Optional keyword search across the filing's full text. Try a fund / GP name (e.g. 'Andreessen Horowitz'), a sector keyword ('biotech'), or a city ('Palo Alto'). Leave blank to pull every Form D in the date range.

## `maxFilings` (type: `integer`):

Maximum number of Form D filings to return (1–2000). Each filing is a separate dataset row containing the parsed offering data.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "dateFrom": "2025-01-01",
  "dateTo": "2025-01-31",
  "maxFilings": 25
}
```

# 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 = {
    "dateFrom": "2025-01-01",
    "dateTo": "2025-01-31",
    "query": "",
    "maxFilings": 25
};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("nexgendata/sec-form-d-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 = {
    "dateFrom": "2025-01-01",
    "dateTo": "2025-01-31",
    "query": "",
    "maxFilings": 25,
}

# Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
run = client.actor("nexgendata/sec-form-d-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}")

## CLI example

```bash
echo '{
  "dateFrom": "2025-01-01",
  "dateTo": "2025-01-31",
  "query": "",
  "maxFilings": 25
}' |
apify call nexgendata/sec-form-d-scraper --silent --output-dataset

```

## MCP server setup

```json
{
    "mcpServers": {
        "apify": {
            "type": "http",
            "url": "https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=fetch-actor-details,nexgendata/sec-form-d-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).
