## 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 Company Filings 📄

Look up any **US public company** by **ticker, name, or CIK** and get clean company metadata plus its **recent SEC filings** — each with a direct link to the document. No API key, no anti-bot: it uses the **official `data.sec.gov` APIs**.

A clean **SEC EDGAR API** and **company-filings scraper** for 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, and Form 4 data — built for financial research, due diligence, and AI agents.

### Who uses this

- **Investors & analysts** tracking 10-Ks, 10-Qs, 8-Ks, insider Form 4s.
- **Fintech & research tools** hydrating company profiles from authoritative filings.
- **AI agents** doing financial research / due diligence (clean JSON, per-company billing).

### Input

```json
{
  "queries": ["TSLA", "Apple", "0000320193"],
  "formTypes": ["10-K", "10-Q", "8-K"],
  "maxFilings": 25
}
```

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `queries` | Tickers, company names, or CIK numbers |
| `query` | A single ticker/name/CIK (handy for agent single-call use) |
| `formTypes` | Only return these SEC form types (e.g. `10-K`, `8-K`). Empty = all |
| `maxFilings` | Max recent filings per company |

### Output

Per company: `cik`, `company_name`, `tickers`, `exchanges`, `sic` + `sic_description`, `ein`, `fiscal_year_end`, `state_of_incorporation`, and a `filings` array — each with `form`, `filing_date`, `report_date`, `accession_number`, and a direct `filing_url`. Unmatched queries return `found: false`.

### Pricing

**Pay per company looked up.** Not-found queries still return a row.

### How it works

Resolves your ticker/name to a CIK via SEC's official company-tickers file, then reads the company's submissions JSON from `data.sec.gov` and builds direct document URLs. Everything is from SEC's official open APIs (the only requirement SEC makes is a descriptive User-Agent, which the actor sends).

### FAQ

**Private companies?** No — EDGAR only covers SEC filers (public companies and funds).

**How fresh?** Live — EDGAR updates continuously; this reads it at run time.

**Financial statement data (XBRL facts)?** Not yet — this returns filings + metadata. Company-facts (revenue, etc.) is on the roadmap.

### Roadmap

- XBRL company-facts (revenue, assets, EPS time series)
- Full-text filing search
- Standby mode for low-latency agent lookups

# Actor input Schema

## `queries` (type: `array`):

Tickers, company names, or CIK numbers to look up (e.g. TSLA, Apple, 0000320193).

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

A single ticker, company name, or CIK (alternative to the list; handy for agent single-call use).

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

Only return filings of these SEC form types (e.g. 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K). Leave empty for all.

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

Maximum number of recent filings to return per company.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "queries": [
    "TSLA",
    "AAPL"
  ],
  "formTypes": [
    "10-K",
    "10-Q",
    "8-K"
  ],
  "maxFilings": 50
}
```

# 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 = {
    "queries": [
        "TSLA",
        "AAPL"
    ],
    "formTypes": [
        "10-K",
        "10-Q",
        "8-K"
    ]
};

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