## 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 - 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, Insider Form 4

Scrape SEC filings for any US public company by ticker or CIK - 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly reports, 8-K material events, Form 4 insider trades, S-1 IPO prospectuses, and more. Direct PDF/HTML links included.

### What you get

- One row per filing, with the full filing metadata
- Direct **filing URL** to the primary document (HTML, PDF, or XBRL) and **index URL** to the full filing folder
- Form type, filing date, report date, acceptance datetime, accession number, file/film numbers
- For **8-K filings**: the `items` field shows which 8-K items were triggered (1.01 acquisition, 2.01 completion, 5.02 executive change, etc.)
- For **annual / quarterly reports**: `isXBRL` and `isInlineXBRL` flags so you can target financial-data filings
- Company metadata: SIC code, SIC description, and EDGAR-registered name
- Direct export to JSON, CSV, Excel, or Google Sheets

### Use cases

- Earnings calendar - every 10-Q / 10-K for a watchlist, exported to a spreadsheet
- Insider trading dashboard - Form 4 transactions for executives at companies you follow
- M\&A monitoring - 8-K items 1.01, 2.01, and 8.01 surface acquisitions and material events
- IPO pipeline - S-1 and S-1/A filings as companies move toward listing
- 5%+ ownership tracking - 13D/13G filings reveal activist and institutional positions
- Compliance / due-diligence pulls - a clean filing manifest for any public company

### How to use

1. Enter a **Ticker** (e.g. `AAPL`, `TSLA`, `BRK.B`) - or a **CIK** if you have one
2. Optionally restrict to specific **Filing types** (e.g. `10-K`, `10-Q`, `8-K`, `4`)
3. Optionally filter by **Filed on or after** / **Filed on or before** dates (YYYY-MM-DD)
4. Set **Max items** (default 100; 0 for no cap)
5. To fetch the full archive (10K+ filings for long-lived filers like Apple or GE), enable **Include full filing history**
6. Run the actor - one filing per row in the **Dataset** tab

# Actor input Schema

## `ticker` (type: `string`):

Stock ticker (e.g. 'AAPL', 'TSLA', 'BRK.B'). Either 'ticker' or 'cik' is required.

## `cik` (type: `string`):

SEC Central Index Key (e.g. '320193' for Apple). Use instead of ticker for private filers or to skip the ticker lookup.

## `filingTypes` (type: `array`):

Restrict to specific forms. Examples: '10-K' (annual), '10-Q' (quarterly), '8-K' (material event), '4' (insider trade), 'S-1' (IPO), 'DEF 14A' (proxy), '13F-HR' (institutional holdings), '13D'/'13G' (5%+ ownership), 'SC TO-T' (tender offer). Leave empty for all filings.

## `dateAfter` (type: `string`):

Optional. Only include filings filed on or after this date.

## `dateBefore` (type: `string`):

Optional. Only include filings filed on or before this date.

## `includeAllHistory` (type: `boolean`):

By default, returns only the ~1,000 most recent filings (covers ~5-15 years for most filers). Enable to also fetch older archive files (slower; can return 10K+ filings for long-lived companies).

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

Maximum filings to return. 0 = no cap.

## MCP server setup

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