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 a list of auditor-change events, each containing event ID, accession number, CIK, ticker, company name, form type, event type, occurred_at timestamp, flags, a risk score, a payload with filing details, and a direct filing URL. Also includes metadata: as_of timestamp, since cursor, count, and index_started_at.
Example use cases
Accounting risk screen before earnings
“Give me all the companies that filed an 8-K auditor change notice in the last 30 days — I want to flag any names in my portfolio before earnings season.”
Hedge fund short thesis research
“Pull up to 200 recent auditor-change 8-Ks from AnswerPool going back to January 1, 2024 — I'm building a list of names with accounting red flags for my short book.”
Compliance monitoring alert pipeline
“Fetch any new auditor-change SEC filings since 2025-07-01 and return the company names, tickers, and filing links so I can add them to our weekly compliance alert report.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://answerpool.io/v1/sec/8k/auditor-changeWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a ready-made, pre-filtered feed of auditor-change 8-K filings without having to parse the full EDGAR tape yourself. It is ideal for accounting risk monitoring, short-selling research, compliance pipelines, and portfolio surveillance where auditor turnover is a red flag signal. Prefer it over full-text EDGAR search when you specifically want Item 4.01 events and want company metadata and links pre-joined.
Side effects
- Invalid 'since' datetime format returns a 400 error
- Limit exceeding maximum of 200 returns a validation error
- No events in the requested window returns an empty events array with count 0
- Payment not received (402) when x402 payment header is missing or insufficient
- Network timeout on large result sets near the 200-item limit
