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 timestamp (as_of), the since window used, a count of matched events, and an array of event objects — each containing event_id, accession number, CIK, ticker, company name, form type, event_type, occurred_at, an array of distress flags (e.g. 'bankruptcy', 'distress'), a relevance score, a payload with Item 1.03 labels, a direct SEC filing URL, and a next_cursor for pagination.
Example use cases
Daily distress alert for hedge fund
“Every morning, show me any new 8-K bankruptcy or receivership filings since yesterday — I want the ticker, company name, filing date, and a link so I can review them quickly.”
Credit risk screening for loan portfolio
“I need to check whether any of our portfolio companies have filed an Item 1.03 bankruptcy 8-K in the last 90 days — pull up to 200 filings since three months ago so I can cross-reference.”
Building a market-wide distress dashboard
“Give me the most recent 50 bankruptcy event filings from the SEC 8-K feed, including their distress flags and scores, so I can populate our financial stress tracker without having to sift through all 8-Ks manually.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://answerpool.io/v1/sec/8k/bankruptcyWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-filtered, structured feed of bankruptcy and receivership 8-K filings (Item 1.03) without having to download and parse the entire 8-K tape yourself. It is ideal for distress monitoring agents, credit risk workflows, and hedge fund alert systems that need low-latency structured data with cursors for incremental polling. Prefer it over full EDGAR full-text search when you specifically want bankruptcy events with flags and scores already applied, and when cost-per-call ($0.02 USDC) is acceptable for on-demand or scheduled fetches.
Side effects
- Invalid 'since' format returns a 422 validation error
- Limit outside 1–200 range returns a 400 bad request
- Stale or future since cursor may return zero events
- Payment failure (402) if x402 USDC payment is not processed
- If no bankruptcies occurred in the window, count is 0 and events array is empty
- Rate limiting may occur under high-frequency polling
