SEC Form D Scraper — Capital-Raise Leads

Scrape SEC EDGAR Form D (Regulation D capital-raise) filings into structured B2B leads, exported to JSON or CSV — every row carries company name, address, phone, industry, offering amounts, investor counts, officers, and exemption codes. No API key, no login.

Free Apify credit covers a first run. No credit card to try.

What this Actor 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.

What we handle for you

  • 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.
  • Pydantic v2 input validation: ISO date shape checked before any network call, start_date <= end_date enforced, state filter normalised to uppercase.
  • We rotate browser fingerprints using curl-cffi (Chrome / Firefox TLS impersonation) so every request looks like a real browser, not a script — robust against any future EDGAR fingerprint tightening.
  • 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 — Pydantic-validated rows, ISO-8601 timestamps, stable IDs, null-safe numeric fields. No garbage rows, no silent empties.
  • You pay only for results that land. Rows discarded by your state or minimum-raise filters are never charged. No data → no charge (only the small actor-start warm-up 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.

Input

Paste this into the Apify Console, or send it as the run input over the API. Proxy settings are on by default; you rarely need to touch them.

FieldTypeRequiredWhat it does
query string no Optional free-text filter passed to EDGAR Full-Text Search (e.g. artificial intelligence or biotechnology). 1-200 chars.
startDate string no Inclusive lower bound on filing date in YYYY-MM-DD form. Defaults to 30 days ago when omitted.
endDate string no Inclusive upper bound on filing date in YYYY-MM-DD form. Defaults to today when omitted.
stateFilter string no 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 integer no Optional post-filter: discard filings whose total offering is below this amount. Indefinite-amount filings always pass through. Use 1000000 for $1M+ raises.
maxResults integer no Maximum rows emitted (1-5000). The Actor stops fetching once this many rows survive every filter.
includeAmendments boolean no When false (default), only new Form D notices are returned. When true, amendments (Form D/A) are included with is_new_notice = false.
useProxy boolean no Route requests through Apify Proxy (BUYPROXIES94952). EDGAR does not currently rate-limit datacenter IPs when the User-Agent header is set; leave off unless you see 403 or 429.

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.
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 <value>YYYY</value> 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.
