How this service works
Rank companies by distress signals in one call — bankruptcy, delisting notices, restatements and impairments joined and sorted by salience score. A derived screen no other API sells as one endpoint; use for credit and short research.
Output
Returns a JSON object with a ranked list of distress events, each containing company name, ticker, CIK, SEC form type, event type, distress flags (e.g. 'bankruptcy', 'delisting'), a numeric salience score between 0 and 1, accession number, SEC filing URL, and occurrence timestamp. Also includes metadata like result count, the as-of timestamp, and the since cutoff used.
Example use cases
Credit risk short-screen for a fund
“Show me the top 50 companies with the highest distress scores from SEC filings since July 1st — I want anything flagged for bankruptcy, delisting, or restatements so I can build a short watchlist.”
Daily distress monitoring alert
“Fetch all SEC distress events from the last 24 hours with a score above 0.7 — bankruptcies, impairments, and delisting notices — so I can flag anything critical before market open.”
Credit analyst deep-dive on recent restatements
“Give me up to 100 distress-flagged SEC filings since the start of this quarter, minimum score 0.4, so I can review the restatements and impairments across the market for my credit report.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://answerpool.io/v1/sec/screen/distress?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a pre-joined, pre-ranked cross-signal distress screen from SEC EDGAR in a single API call — combining bankruptcy, delisting, restatements, and impairments — rather than querying each signal type separately. It is purpose-built for credit analysts and short-sellers who need a salience-ranked corporate distress feed without building their own ETL pipeline. Prefer it over raw EDGAR queries or generic financial data APIs when you need a scored, multi-signal distress view across the entire public market.
