# AnswerPool 8-K Since Cursor

> AnswerPool 8-K Since Cursor is a paid API for AI agents from answerpool.io, paid per call via x402, $0.005/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-16).

Poll SEC 8-K filings incrementally using a since-cursor, returning only events newer than your last checkpoint with an optional item-code filter and a next cursor for the next poll.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## 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-since-cursor-8968b361
```

Example prompt: Check for any new 8-K filings on SEC EDGAR since my last cursor '2026-08-30T00:00:00', filtering for item 2.02 earnings releases only, and give me the next cursor to store for the next poll.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need an efficient, incremental polling loop for 8-K monitoring — it is cheaper than full-list endpoints because it only returns events newer than your stored cursor. Prefer it over the full 8-K list endpoint when you are running a continuous monitoring agent and want to avoid re-processing already-seen filings. Ideal for real-time alerting pipelines where you poll on a schedule and persist the next_cursor between runs.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid or malformed cursor timestamp returns an error or empty result set
- Cursor older than index_started_at may return incomplete or capped results
- Invalid item code filter returns empty events array rather than an error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns a 402 or error response
- Very recent cursor with no new filings returns count 0 and events empty array with next_cursor equal to input cursor

## 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 containing: the as_of timestamp of the index, the count of returned events, the list of 8-K filing events newer than the provided cursor, the next_cursor to store for subsequent polls, and the index_started_at timestamp indicating the earliest available data.
