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
A JSON object containing the company name, CIK, index coverage dates, total filings since 2021, and an array of year objects each listing the total count and a breakdown of filing counts by form type (e.g. '10-K': 1, '8-K': 12, '4': 45). Also includes an as_of timestamp and disclaimer.
Example use cases
Detect stopped SEC reporting
“Has Bed Bath & Beyond (ticker BBBY) stopped filing with the SEC? Pull their year-by-year filing cadence since 2021 so I can see if reports dried up before the bankruptcy.”
Spot disclosure spike for due diligence
“I'm researching CIK 0000320193 — can you check if there was an unusual spike in their SEC filings in any particular year since 2021, broken down by form type?”
Monitor activist target filing rhythm
“Show me the annual SEC filing rhythm for GameStop broken down by form — I want to know if their 8-K and Form 4 volumes changed dramatically year over year since 2021.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://answerpool.io/v1/sec/filings/cadenceWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need a high-level summary of how frequently a company has filed with the SEC over time, without enumerating individual filings. It is ideal for detecting stopped reporting, spotting anomalous disclosure spikes, or building a quick disclosure-rhythm profile during due diligence or compliance monitoring. Prefer it over listing-based endpoints when you don't need individual filing details, just aggregate counts per year and form type.
Side effects
- Neither CIK nor ticker provided — returns validation error
- Unknown ticker or CIK not found in EDGAR index — returns empty or null company
- Ticker resolves to multiple CIKs (ambiguous) — may return unexpected filer
- No filings found since 2021 — returns empty years array with zero total_filings
- Payment not included or insufficient — returns HTTP 402 requiring x402 payment of $0.02 USDC
