chocholous SEC & Regulatory Intelligence
Extract and monitor public regulatory filings - U.S. SEC plus major global regulators - using NexGenData's Apify Actors. Every result links back to its official source filing. This is factual public data for research; it is not financial, legal, or investment advice and contains no trading signals.
Rules for every apify command (CI-enforced in awesome-skills):
--user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-sec-regulatory-intelligence(telemetry attribution)--json(machine-readable output; use--format jsonfordatasets get-items)2>/dev/null(suppress progress messages that break JSON parsers)
Prerequisites
- Apify CLI v1.5.0+ (
npm install -g apify-cli) - Authenticated:
apify login, orexport APIFY_TOKEN=...(get a token)
Workflow
Step 1 — Pick the Actor
Identify the filing type / regulator from the user's goal and choose the Actor from references/actor-index.md. Most U.S. tasks map to one Actor; for "all SEC events for a company" use nexgendata/sec-event-router (unified timeline). If the index has no match, search the Store:
apify actors search "KEYWORDS" --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-sec-regulatory-intelligence --json --limit 10 2>/dev/null
Step 2 — Fetch the exact input schema (don't guess)
Schemas evolve; always confirm fields before running:
apify actors info "nexgendata/SLUG" --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-sec-regulatory-intelligence --input --json 2>/dev/null
Read references/gotchas.md for cost guardrails and date-window defaults before running.
Step 3 — Run
Keep result caps modest first (these are pay-per-row Actors). Typical call:
apify actors call "nexgendata/sec-form-4-insider-trading-scraper" --input '{"dateFrom":"2026-06-01","dateTo":"2026-06-13","tickers":["AAPL","NVDA"],"transactionTypes":["P","S"],"maxFilings":25}' --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-sec-regulatory-intelligence --json 2>/dev/null
From output: .defaultDatasetId, .status, .id. For long-running pulls, start async and poll:
apify actors start "nexgendata/SLUG" --input '{...}' --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-sec-regulatory-intelligence --json 2>/dev/null
apify runs info RUN_ID --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-sec-regulatory-intelligence --json 2>/dev/null # poll until .status == SUCCEEDED
Step 4 — Fetch results & deliver
apify datasets get-items DATASET_ID --user-agent apify-awesome-skills/apify-sec-regulatory-intelligence --format json 2>/dev/null
Report: row count, the key fields, and each row's source_url (every filing links to the official regulator). Save large pulls with the Write tool as YYYY-MM-DD_descriptive-name.csv/.json. For multi-step asks (e.g., "insider clusters, then pull each company's 8-Ks"), chain Actors and suggest the next step.
