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 an as_of timestamp, a since cursor, the total count of matching events, and an array of event objects. Each event includes a unique event_id, SEC accession number, CIK, ticker symbol, company name, form type, event_type classification, occurred_at timestamp, flags array, relevance score, a payload with deal-specific details, and a direct URL to the SEC filing. Also includes index_started_at and a next_cursor for pagination.
Example use cases
Daily M&A deal pulse check
“Give me all completed acquisitions and dispositions reported in SEC 8-Ks since yesterday morning — I want to see every company, ticker, and a link to the filing so I can track today's deal flow.”
Weekly change-of-control surveillance
“Pull up to 100 change-of-control events from 8-K filings filed in the last 7 days so I can review which public companies shifted ownership this week.”
Real-time M&A feed for research pipeline
“Fetch the most recent 200 M&A-related 8-K events from AnswerPool — acquisitions and dispositions market-wide — using a since cursor of 2026-08-01 so I can load them into my deal-tracking database.”
Technical details
Endpoint
GEThttps://answerpool.io/v1/sec/8k/maWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need unfiltered, market-wide coverage of completed M&A transactions (Items 2.01 and 5.01) from SEC 8-K filings without pre-filtering by company or sector. It is ideal for deal-monitoring workflows that require a continuous, paginated feed of all acquisition, disposition, and change-of-control events across the entire market. Prefer it over full-text EDGAR search when you want structured, pre-classified event data with tickers and direct filing links rather than raw filing matches.
