## 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 — Funding Leads

Discover **Form D** private offering notices from SEC EDGAR — a practical wedge for **funding leads**, venture funds, co-invest vehicles, and exempt offerings filed under Regulation D.

Uses the same official EDGAR full-text search API (`efts.sec.gov/LATEST/search-index`) with forms fixed to **D** and **D/A**.

**Store search keywords:** Form D scraper · SEC funding leads · private placement · Regulation D · venture fund filings · EDGAR Form D

***

### Why this Actor

| Need | What you get |
|------|----------------|
| New funding signals | Recently filed Form D / D/A notices with issuer name, location, items |
| Geo focus | Optional `states` filter on business state codes (client-side) |
| Lead lists | Structured rows with SEC archive URLs for follow-up |
| Fair billing | Pay per delivered row; zero-match runs **not charged** |

HTTP-only — no browser.

***

### Input

```json
{
  "query": "AI fund",
  "startDate": "2026-07-01",
  "endDate": "2026-07-31",
  "maxItems": 50,
  "states": ["CA", "NY"],
  "includeAmendments": true,
  "requestDelayMs": 500
}
```

- **query** — optional full-text search; leave empty for recent Form D filings in the date window
- **forms** — fixed to `D` and optionally `D/A` (`includeAmendments`, default true)
- **states** — optional US state codes matched against `biz_states` after search
- **startDate / endDate** — `YYYY-MM-DD`; defaults to the **last 90 days** when omitted

***

### Output fields

| Field | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `id` | Accession number (`adsh`) |
| `form` | `D` or `D/A` |
| `fileType` | Usually `D` or `D/A` |
| `fileDate` | Filing date |
| `companyName` | Issuer / fund name from `display_names[0]` |
| `ciks` | CIK list |
| `tickers` | Parsed when present in display name |
| `sic` | SIC codes when present |
| `states` | Business state codes |
| `locations` | Business locations |
| `items` | Form D items (e.g. `06B`, `3C`, `3C.1`) — useful for exemption type signals |
| `url` | SEC filing index page |
| `scrapedAt` | ISO timestamp |

**Note:** Form D XML detail (offering amount, investors, etc.) is **not** parsed in this Actor — only search-index metadata. Follow the `url` for the full submission.

***

### Pricing

Pay-per-event for each **delivered** row (`apify-default-dataset-item`).

- No matching filings after filters → **not charged**
- State filtering happens client-side; wide date ranges with narrow states may require more API pages

***

### Limitations (honest)

- **SEC fair access** — Automated access must use a descriptive User-Agent with contact information and stay within reasonable request rates. This Actor sends `SmorgiApps-EDGAR-Scraper smorgiapps@gmail.com` and backs off on **429/503**.
- **Search metadata only** — Offering amounts, total sold, and investor counts live in the Form D XML, not in the search index. This Actor is a **discovery / lead list** tool, not a full Form D parser.
- **Funds vs operating companies** — Many rows are investment funds and SPVs, not product startups; use `query` and `states` to narrow.
- **State filter** — Applied after the API response; very selective filters may need higher `maxItems` or wider dates to fill a quota.
- **Amendments** — `D/A` rows amend prior filings; dedupe by issuer may be needed downstream.
- **International issuers** — Non-US state codes (e.g. `N4`, `E9`) appear in EDGAR; `states` filter uses exact code match.

# Actor input Schema

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

Optional EDGAR full-text search (e.g. "AI fund", "Series A"). Leave empty for recent Form D filings in the date range.

## `startDate` (type: `string`):

Filing date range start (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to 90 days before end date.

## `endDate` (type: `string`):

Filing date range end (YYYY-MM-DD). Defaults to today.

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

Maximum Form D rows to deliver.

## `states` (type: `array`):

Optional US state codes (biz\_states) — filtered client-side after search (e.g. CA, NY, TX).

## `includeAmendments` (type: `boolean`):

When true, search forms D and D/A. When false, original Form D only.

## `requestDelayMs` (type: `integer`):

Throttle between SEC API requests. SEC fair-access policy recommends modest request rates.

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

Optional. SEC EDGAR usually works without proxies; enable only if needed.

## Actor input object example

```json
{
  "query": "",
  "startDate": "",

  "states": [],
  "includeAmendments": true,
