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 structured interlock graph as of a given date, including the target company name and CIK, total count of linked issuers, and an array of linked companies each with their CIK, ticker, company name, and a list of shared persons. Each shared person includes their name, roles at both the source and linked company, and filing metadata derived from SEC Forms 3, 4, and 5.
Example use cases
M&A governance due diligence
“I'm doing due diligence on a potential acquisition target — ticker NVDA. Can you pull the full board interlock map showing which other public companies share directors or officers with them over the past year, with up to 50 linked issuers?”
Activist investor conflict screen
“I need to check for potential conflicts of interest around CIK 0000320193. Map out all the other SEC registrants that share insiders with this company over the last 180 days so I can flag any cross-board relationships.”
Corporate network research for journalism
“I'm investigating board overlap in the pharmaceutical sector — can you get the director interlock graph for Pfizer using their ticker PFE, looking back 730 days, and show me the top 100 companies they're linked to through shared insiders?”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://answerpool.io/v1/graph/interlocksWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need to resolve cross-company board and officer relationships using SEC ownership filings (Forms 3/4/5) in a single call, replacing manual entity resolution across EDGAR. It is ideal for due diligence, conflict-of-interest screening, corporate network mapping, and investigative research on public companies. Prefer it over general EDGAR full-text search when you specifically need structured interlock data with roles on both sides of the relationship.
Side effects
- Missing both ticker and CIK returns a validation error
- Unknown ticker or CIK not found in SEC data returns empty interlocks array
- Days parameter outside 7–3650 range returns a 422 validation error
- Limit exceeding 100 returns a 422 validation error
- Heuristic entity resolution may miss name variants or produce false positives across similarly-named individuals
- Payment required (402) if x402 micropayment header is not included
