🤖 Use with AI agents

Structured JSON built for LLM and agent pipelines — point Claude, the OpenAI Agents SDK, an n8n flow or any MCP-aware client at it and pull Australia ASX listed-company announcements on demand.

Sample agent prompt:

Monitor new ASX announcements for a ticker and flag price-sensitive ones.

Run it on a schedule

ASX companies lodge announcements throughout the trading day, so run it hourly during Australian market hours if you act on price-sensitive news, or once a day after the close for research and record-keeping. Each run brings new announcements rather than updated old ones. The actor has no new-only mode, so set maxResults high enough to cover what lands between runs, and use announcement_id to drop announcements you already have. A ticker list or marketSensitiveOnly keeps each scheduled pull small and focused. Send each run's results onward with a webhook, Google Sheets, Zapier, Make or the Bytewells API.

FAQ

Why use this instead of the official ASX website?

The ASX publishes announcements free on its website, built for reading one page at a time. This actor returns them as clean JSON with ticker, company name, date and AEST time, announcement types, headline, market-sensitive and price-sensitive flags, and a link back to the announcement on the ASX site. You can filter by ticker list, type or price-sensitive flag, and run it on a schedule. It needs no API key and you pay per announcement.

What does a typical run cost?

One flat monthly price, with a free trial; there is no per-row charge. Bytewells bills compute separately from your prepaid credit, by memory and run time.

How do I get only price-sensitive ASX announcements?

Set marketSensitiveOnly to true. The run then returns only announcements ASX has flagged as market-sensitive. Each record also carries is_market_sensitive and is_price_sensitive, so you can filter further downstream.

Can I track announcements for specific ASX companies?

Yes. Put the ASX codes in tickers, for example ["BHP", "RIO", "CBA"]. Leave it empty to pull the most recent announcements across the whole market. Add announcementType with a word such as dividend, substantial holder or quarterly to keep only matching types.

Does it return the text of the announcement PDF?

No. It returns the announcement's details and a source_url to the announcement on the ASX site, plus file size where shown. It does not extract the document text, and file_url and num_pages can be empty.

Can I pull ASX announcements for a past date range?

There is no date-range input. Each run returns the most recent announcements that match your filters, up to maxResults (default 50). To build a history, run it on a schedule and keep each run's results.

How it is billed on Bytewells

One flat monthly price for this actor, with a free trial to start. There is no charge per row, per result or per run from us.

Compute is billed separately by Bytewells from your prepaid credit, by memory and run time (per second). If a run uses the platform's proxy, Bytewells adds that traffic to the same run's compute bill.

Run it from the API

Bytewells speaks the same API as Apify, so curl or apify-client work with the Bytewells address and your Bytewells API key.

curl -X POST "https://bytewells.com/api/v2/acts/nexgendata~asx-company-announcements/runs" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BYTEWELLS_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"tickers": [], "marketSensitiveOnly": false, "announcementType": "", "maxResults": 50}'

# when the run has finished, read its rows:
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_BYTEWELLS_API_KEY" \
  "https://bytewells.com/api/v2/actor-runs/RUN_ID/dataset/items"

from apify_client import ApifyClient

client = ApifyClient("YOUR_BYTEWELLS_API_KEY", api_url="https://bytewells.com/api")
run = client.actor("nexgendata/asx-company-announcements").call(run_input={'tickers': [], 'marketSensitiveOnly': False, 'announcementType': '', 'maxResults': 50})
for row in client.dataset(run["defaultDatasetId"]).iterate_items():
    print(row)
