## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability answerpool-8-k-item-feed-efd40ac9
```

Example prompt: Pull all market-wide 8-K filings that include item code 5.02 — officer changes — from the past 7 days, with labels, distress flags, and relevance scores.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need market-wide 8-K surveillance filtered by a specific item code — such as officer changes (5.02), earnings (2.02), or cyber incidents (1.05) — and want pre-labeled, scored, and flagged events in a single call rather than assembling them from raw EDGAR feeds or multiple per-item endpoints sold separately by competitors.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or unsupported item code returns empty results or 400 error
- Date range too broad may time out or return truncated results
- Newly filed 8-Ks may not appear until the 15-minute index refresh cycle completes
- Malformed cursor parameter causes pagination errors
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402 or 429 status

## How this service works

AnswerPool turns SEC EDGAR, the Federal Register, USAspending, NIH, BLS and OpenAlex into structured JSON answers that AI agents and developers fetch in one call. 69 endpoints free, no account; derived analyses $0.02–$0.05 per call by card credits or USDC (x402). MCP server, full provenance.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with an as-of timestamp, total count, a list of 8-K events (each including CIK, ticker, company name, accession number, filing URL, item codes, event labels, flags such as 'bankruptcy' or 'distress', and a relevance score), a next_cursor for pagination, and the index start time.
