}This actor uses Pay Per Event pricing:
| Event | Price | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Actor start | $0.005 | Per run initialization |
| Filing extracted | $0.004 | Per filing result |
Example: Extracting 10 Tesla 10-K filings = $0.005 + (10 × $0.004) = $0.045
That's 10 annual reports with full metadata for less than a nickel. Manual EDGAR searching would take 30+ minutes.
| Type | Description |
|---|---|
| 10-K | Annual report — comprehensive financial overview |
| 10-Q | Quarterly report — interim financial statements |
| 8-K | Current report — material events (earnings, M&A, executive changes) |
| 4 | Insider trading — Form 4 ownership changes |
| DEF 14A | Proxy statement — executive compensation, governance |
| S-1 | Registration statement — IPO filings |
| 13F-HR | Institutional holdings — quarterly hedge fund positions |
| SC 13D | Beneficial ownership — activist investor stakes |
