You are not charged for the Apify platform usage, but only a fixed price for specific events. Since this Actor supports Apify Store discounts, the price gets lower the higher subscription plan you have. Learn more: https://docs.apify.com/actors/running/actors-in-store.md#pay-per-event ## What's an Apify Actor? An Actor is a serverless cloud program that runs on the Apify platform. It has two run modes. 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. Apify vocabulary and the platform model are defined once, in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md. ## 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. Do not guess an integration path. Every one of them is in the agent quickstart at https://apify.com/agents.md: the Apify MCP server, Agent Skills with the Apify CLI, the JavaScript and Python clients, the REST API, and the account-free path for an agent with no human to sign in. It also carries the rule on stating cost before the first paid run. For examples already wired to this Actor's own input schema, see the [API](#api) section below. Each client library has reference documentation the quickstart does not restate: [JavaScript/TypeScript](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md) (`npm install apify-client`) and [Python](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md) (`pip install apify-client`). # README

## SEC Form D Scraper — Regulation D Capital-Raise Leads *We do the dirty work so your dataset stays clean.* 😈 **$5.20 / 1,000 rows** — Turn the U.S. SEC EDGAR Form D filing stream into a structured B2B lead list. Every U.S. company raising private capital under Regulation D must file Form D with the SEC within 15 days of the first sale — making this a near-real-time feed of "this company just raised money" announcements. Every row carries the issuer's legal name, address, phone number, industry group, offering amount, investor count, and the named officers / directors / promoters. Pay only for results that land; no subscription, no annual contract. ### 🎯 What this scrapes One `ResultRow` per qualifying Form D filing pulled from the SEC EDGAR Full-Text Search index and the EDGAR static-archive XML. Each row has 27 top-level fields plus a nested `related_persons` list of officers, directors, and promoters. Data is U.S. government public domain — there are no terms-of-service restrictions on redistribution. | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `accession_number` | string | SEC accession number with dashes | | `cik` | string | Zero-padded 10-character Central Index Key | | `entity_name` | string | Issuer legal name | | `entity_type` | string | null | `Corporation`, `Limited Liability Company`, `Limited Partnership`, etc. | | `jurisdiction_of_incorporation` | string | null | Full state / country name of incorporation | | `year_of_incorporation` | integer | null | Null when issuer reports `overFiveYears=true` | | `issuer_street_1` / `_2` / `city` / `state_or_country` / `zip_code` | strings | null | Issuer postal address | | `issuer_phone_number` | string | null | Issuer phone as filed (raw) | | `industry_group_type` | string | null | E.g. `Other Technology`, `Pooled Investment Fund`, `Biotechnology` | | `total_offering_amount_usd` | number | null | Null when issuer reports `Indefinite` | | `total_amount_sold_usd` | number | null | Amount sold to date in USD | | `total_remaining_usd` | number | null | Null when `Indefinite` | | `is_indefinite_amount` | boolean | True when issuer reported `Indefinite` | | `total_number_already_invested` | integer | null | Investor count to date | | `minimum_investment_usd` | number | null | Null when no minimum (raw `"0"`) | | `exemption_claimed` | string\[] | Federal exemption codes (e.g. `["06B", "3C", "3C.1"]`) | | `is_new_notice` | boolean | True for new D, False for D/A amendment | | `date_of_first_sale` | string | null | ISO date; null when `yetToOccur=true` | | `related_persons` | object\[] | Officers / directors / promoters with names and locations | | `filing_date` | string | EDGAR acceptance date (ISO) | | `filing_url` | string | Canonical EDGAR company-filings page | | `scraped_at` | string | ISO 8601 UTC timestamp | ### 🔥 Features - Real-time SEC EDGAR Form D feed — every Reg D capital raise in the U.S. lands here within 15 days of the first sale. - 27-field extraction including the structured B2B contact fields (phone, address, named officers) that generic EDGAR scrapers do not surface. - Free-text query, date range, U.S. state filter, and minimum-raise-size filter — all four input axes optional, all four post-filtered before the per-row charge so you pay only for kept rows. - Amendment toggle: `includeAmendments=false` (default) skips Form D/A entries before fetching the XML — saves both bandwidth and rate-limit budget. - XML schema quirks handled correctly — `"Indefinite"` offering amounts, `overFiveYears` year-of-inc, `yetToOccur` first-sale flag, raw `"0"` minimum investment → null. - EDGAR Fair Access Policy compliant — mandatory `User-Agent` header set on every request; 0.1 s inter-fetch sleep keeps the run under the 10 req/s/IP limit. - Input validation: ISO date shape checked before any network call, `start_date <= end_date` enforced, state filter normalised to uppercase. #### What we handle for you SEC EDGAR applies rate limits, enforces User-Agent policy, and returns XML quirks that break naive parsers. We absorb all of it: - **We retry with exponential backoff** on `429` / `503` responses and honour `Retry-After` headers. Up to 5 attempts per page before surfacing a clear failure. - **We enforce EDGAR's rate-limit pacing** — a 0.1 s inter-fetch sleep caps throughput at the Fair Access Policy ceiling; your run never triggers an IP ban. - **We keep the dataset clean** — validated rows, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, null-safe numeric fields. No garbage rows, no silent empties. - **A small start fee per run, then you pay only for results that land.** Rows discarded by your state or minimum-raise filters are never charged. A run that finds nothing pays only the start fee. ### 💡 Use cases - **B2B sales prospecting** — pull every Form D filed in the last 7-30 days in your target state (e.g. `stateFilter=CA`, `minOfferingAmountUsd=1000000`) for fresh trigger-event leads to SaaS / professional-services teams selling into newly-funded startups. - **VC deal-flow tracking** — query `industryGroupType=Biotechnology` and filter by state to surface every Series A-and-earlier biotech raise in your geography. - **Compete-monitoring** — pass a `query` term matching a competitor's domain category to detect new entrants raising private capital. - **Journalism + research** — bulk-export Form D over a multi-month window to measure private-market capital flow by state, industry, or exemption code. - **Crunchbase / PitchBook alternative for early-stage** — Form D is the original-source filing every paid private-markets database derives from, available here at $5/1,000 rows vs $299-999/month. - **Compliance + KYC** — verify a counterparty's Reg D filing history by issuer name or CIK before signing a master service agreement. ### ⚙️ How to use it 1. Open the Actor input form on the Apify Console. 2. (Optional) Set `query` to a free-text search term (e.g. `"artificial intelligence"`) — passes through to EDGAR Full-Text Search. 3. (Optional) Set `startDate` and `endDate` (ISO `YYYY-MM-DD`). Defaults: last 30 days. 4. (Optional) Set `stateFilter` to a U.S. state ISO-2 code (e.g. `CA`, `NY`, `TX`) to keep only matching issuers. 5. (Optional) Set `minOfferingAmountUsd` to filter out small raises (indefinite-amount filings always pass). 6. Set `maxResults` (1-5000). Default 100. 7. Leave `includeAmendments=false` to skip Form D/A entries; set `true` to include them with `is_new_notice=false`. 8. Toggle `useProxy=true` if you hit persistent `429` responses on high-volume runs. 9. Click **Start**. Results stream into the default dataset as JSON / CSV / Excel / XML. #### California raises ≥ $1M in the last 30 days ```json { "stateFilter": "CA", "minOfferingAmountUsd": 1000000, "maxResults": 500 } ``` #### Last week's biotech filings nationally ```json { "query": "biotechnology", "startDate": "2026-05-09", "endDate": "2026-05-16", "maxResults": 200 } ``` #### Every Form D + amendments filed today ```json { "startDate": "2026-05-16", "endDate": "2026-05-16", "includeAmendments": true, "maxResults": 5000 } ``` ### 📥 Input | Field | Type | Required | Default | Description | |---|---|---|---|---| | `query` | string | no | — | Free-text EDGAR search (1-200 chars) | | `startDate` | string | no | 30 days ago | Inclusive lower bound, ISO `YYYY-MM-DD` | | `endDate` | string | no | today | Inclusive upper bound, ISO `YYYY-MM-DD` | | `stateFilter` | string | no | — | Issuer state ISO-2 code (uppercased) | | `minOfferingAmountUsd` | integer | no | — | Discard filings below this amount (USD) | | `maxResults` | integer | no | `100` | Cap on emitted rows (1-5000) | | `includeAmendments` | boolean | no | `false` | Include Form D/A amendments | | `useProxy` | boolean | no | `false` | Route via Apify Proxy (a static US datacenter pool) | `startDate` and `endDate` are validated for ISO shape *and* ordering before any network call — invalid input raises immediately and the run exits non-zero. ### 📤 Output One row per qualifying Form D filing, pushed to the default dataset and available as JSON, CSV, Excel, or XML. ```json { "accession_number": "0002122627-26-000001", "cik": "0002122627", "entity_name": "AM-0304 Fund II, a series of Delk-SPV, LP", "entity_type": "Limited Partnership", "jurisdiction_of_incorporation": "DELAWARE", "year_of_incorporation": 2026, "issuer_street_1": "2006 196TH ST SW", "issuer_street_2": "SUITE 114", "issuer_city": "LYNNWOOD", "issuer_state_or_country": "WA", "issuer_zip_code": "98036", "issuer_phone_number": "2068016359", "industry_group_type": "Pooled Investment Fund", "total_offering_amount_usd": 577807.0, "total_amount_sold_usd": 577807.0, "total_remaining_usd": 0.0, "is_indefinite_amount": false, "total_number_already_invested": 35, "minimum_investment_usd": 1000.0, "exemption_claimed": ["06B", "3C", "3C.1"], "is_new_notice": true, "date_of_first_sale": "2026-05-14", "related_persons": [ { "first_name": "N/A", "last_name": "Fund GP, LLC", "city": "Wilmington", "state_or_country": "DE", "relationships": ["Director"] } ], "filing_date": "2026-05-15", "filing_url": "https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/browse-edgar?action=getcompany&CIK=0002122627&type=D", "scraped_at": "2026-05-16T12:00:00.000000+00:00" } ``` #### Export formats - **JSON** — full fidelity, newline-delimited. - **CSV** — flat; nested `related_persons` serialised as JSON string per Apify convention. - **Excel** — `.xlsx` via the Apify dataset converter. - **XML** — structured per-item. All formats are available via the Apify API: `GET /datasets/{id}/items?format=csv&clean=true`. ### 💰 Pricing Pay-Per-Event (PPE) — you pay only for what you use: | Event | Price (USD) | When | |---|---|---| | `actor-start` | $0.20 | Once per run, at boot | | `result-row` | $0.005 | Per Form D row written to dataset (after filters) | #### Example costs | Run | Rows | Cost | |---|---|---| | 7-day default scan, ~50 filings | 50 | $0.30 | | California ≥$1M, 30 days, ~200 filings | 200 | $1.05 | | AI keyword, 90 days, ~500 filings | 500 | $2.55 | | 1,000 filings | 1,000 | $5.20 | | Maximum cap, 5,000 filings | 5,000 | $25.05 | At scale, the per-row charge dominates: ~$5 per 1,000 Form D rows. Crunchbase, PitchBook, and DealRoom expose the same underlying SEC data inside subscriptions priced $299-999/month with annual contracts — this Actor delivers the raw filings on a pay-as-you-go basis with no minimums. ### 🚧 Limitations - **Public EDGAR Full-Text Search only.** No EDGAR Online, no authenticated EDGAR features, no premium SEC data products. - **Form D and Form D/A only.** Forms 3/4/5 (insider transactions), Form 10-K/Q (public-company financials), and Form S-1/424 (public offerings) are out of scope. - **No email address extraction.** Form D does not contain email addresses; only the issuer phone and the named officers' city + state are filed. - **No use-of-proceeds narrative.** Free-text fields beyond the structured XML elements listed above are out of scope. - **No sales-compensation extraction.** Broker / finder fee data is present in the XML but excluded — out of scope for lead generation. - **No cross-run deduplication.** Overlapping date ranges may surface the same filing multiple times across separate runs. - **EDGAR rate limit applies.** The Actor enforces a 0.1 s inter-fetch sleep, capping the practical throughput at ~10 filings/second / ~600 filings/minute / 5,000 cap → ~9 minutes for a full run. - **7-day default storage retention** on the Apify FREE plan. Export the dataset immediately after the run or move to a paid plan for longer retention. - **U.S. government public domain.** SEC EDGAR data has no copyright; attribution is optional but appreciated. ### ❓ FAQ **Do I need an API key or login?** No. The EDGAR Full-Text Search endpoint and the static EDGAR archive are both fully public U.S. government resources. The Actor sends a `User-Agent` header identifying Devil Scrapes per EDGAR Fair Access Policy §2.4 — this is a compliance requirement, not an authentication step. **Is there a Form D filings API I can query programmatically?** Yes — the Apify API exposes this Actor as a Form D filings API. Run the Actor via `POST /v2/acts/DevilScrapes~sec-form-d-leads/runs` with your filter parameters, then retrieve structured results from the dataset endpoint. Full Apify API docs at [docs.apify.com](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2). **Why does the `cik` URL not have leading zeros?** The EDGAR Archives URL path requires the *integer* form of the CIK (no padding), while the JSON / search APIs return the zero-padded 10-character form. The Actor normalises both — every output row's `cik` is the canonical zero-padded form (`"0002122627"`), and the internal URL builder strips the leading zeros for the XML fetch. Pre-padding the URL returns HTTP 404. **What's the difference between Form D and Form D/A?** Form D is the initial notice of a Reg D offering; Form D/A is an amendment (typically to update the total amount sold, add investors, or correct an error). When `includeAmendments=false` (default), only new D notices are returned. When `true`, amendments are included with `is_new_notice=false`. **Why is `total_offering_amount_usd` sometimes null?** The issuer reported the literal string `"Indefinite"` (common for evergreen funds and certain real-estate offerings). The `is_indefinite_amount` flag is `True` on those rows, and `total_offering_amount_usd` + `total_remaining_usd` are both null. Indefinite-amount rows always pass the `minOfferingAmountUsd` filter — we never discard them on a numeric comparison they can't satisfy. **Why is `year_of_incorporation` sometimes null?** The issuer reported `overFiveYears=true` in the XML — the SEC does not require an exact year when the entity is more than 5 years old. Issuers younger than 5 years report `withinFiveYears=true` and the specific `YYYY` we parse to an integer. **Can I redistribute the data?** Yes. SEC EDGAR data is U.S. government public domain — there are no licensing restrictions on redistribution or commercial use. Attribution to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is optional but recommended. **How does this compare to paid Regulation D filings list providers?** Crunchbase ($299-999/mo), PitchBook ($30k+/yr), and CB Insights ($45k+/yr) all derive their private-placement data from SEC Form D as a primary signal, then mark it up substantially. This Actor delivers the same underlying Regulation D filings list at $5.20 per 1,000 rows with no subscription and no minimum spend. ### 💬 Your feedback Found a bug, hit a rate limit, or need a new field on the output row?

Defaults to 30 days ago when omitted. ## `endDate` (type: `string`): Inclusive upper bound on filing date in YYYY-MM-DD form. Defaults to today when omitted. ## `stateFilter` (type: `string`): Optional post-filter: keep only rows where the issuer's state matches this ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (e.g. CA, NY, TX). Lower-case is normalised to upper. ## `minOfferingAmountUsd` (type: `integer`): Optional post-filter: discard filings whose total offering is below this amount. Indefinite-amount filings always pass through. Use 1000000 for $1M+ raises. ## `maxResults` (type: `integer`): Maximum rows emitted (1-5000). The Actor stops fetching once this many rows survive every filter. ## `includeAmendments` (type: `boolean`): When false (default), only new Form D notices are returned. When true, amendments (Form D/A) are included with is_new_notice = false. ## `useProxy` (type: `boolean`): Route requests through Apify Proxy (a static US datacenter pool). EDGAR does not currently rate-limit datacenter IPs when the User-Agent header is set; leave off unless you see 403 or 429. ## Actor input object example ```json { "query": "artificial intelligence", "startDate": "2026-05-01", "endDate": "2026-05-16", "stateFilter": "CA", "minOfferingAmountUsd": 1000000, "maxResults": 10, "includeAmendments": false, "useProxy": false } ``` # Actor output Schema ## `datasetItems` (type: `string`): All dataset items as JSON. ## `datasetItemsCsv` (type: `string`): Same data exported to CSV. ## `datasetView` (type: `string`): Open the run dataset in the Console. # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API.
