Monitor SEC EDGAR filings by ticker, CIK, form type, and date range. This Actor uses official SEC JSON endpoints and returns clean filing records for watchlists, alerts, spreadsheets, dashboards, and research workflows.

Use it to catch new 10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, S-1, DEF 14A, and ownership filings across portfolio companies, competitors, vendors, customers, or acquisition targets.

What does this SEC EDGAR monitor do?

EDGAR filings are public, but checking every ticker and form type by hand is easy to miss. SEC EDGAR Watchlist Monitor turns a list of tickers or CIKs into a structured dataset of recent filings with filing dates, accession numbers, direct document links, company metadata, and SEC source links.

The Actor does not use a browser or proxy. It calls SEC public data endpoints with a configurable User-Agent, follows SEC-friendly pacing, and stores one dataset row per filing.

The Actor also writes key-value outputs for scheduled workflows:

• RUN_SUMMARY: counts, watchlist inputs, and errors
• FILING_EXPORT: all emitted SEC filing records
• BUYER_BRIEF: a short Markdown brief by form and company
• SLACK_ALERTS: compact alert objects for webhook or chat workflows

What data can you extract?

Results can be exported from Apify as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML, RSS, or HTML.

Quick start

1. Add ticker symbols or CIKs.
2. Choose the form types you care about.
3. Set daysBack to the lookback window.
4. Set maxResults to control cost and dataset size.
5. Add a real contact email in secUserAgent for production runs.

Start with a small watchlist such as AAPL, MSFT, and NVDA, then schedule the Actor for recurring filing alerts.

Pricing

This Actor uses pay-per-event pricing. Dry-run examples are not charged. Apify free-plan users get the first 10 filing records without this Actor's custom event charge; after that, normal pay-per-event pricing and the user's run spending limit apply.

That is $2 per 1,000 emitted filing records, plus normal Apify platform usage. Use maxResults, formTypes, and daysBack to keep runs predictable.

Common use cases

• Watch new 8-K events for portfolio companies.
• Track S-1 filings from private-company competitors entering public markets.
• Monitor proxy filings and annual reports across a legal or finance watchlist.
• Send new filings into Slack, email, Google Sheets, Airtable, or a dashboard.
• Build a daily SEC filing feed for analysts.

Limits and compliance

The Actor uses official public SEC EDGAR endpoints. It does not provide investment advice, scrape private portals, or bypass access controls.

The SEC expects automated clients to identify themselves. Use a descriptive secUserAgent with your organization or contact email for production runs.
