# AnswerPool Officer Changes

> AnswerPool Officer Changes is a paid API for AI agents from answerpool.io, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-13).

Lists SEC 8-K filings reporting officer or director changes (Item 5.02) across all public companies, with company name, timestamp, and filing links.

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability answerpool-officer-changes-ae1069db
```

Example prompt: Show me the last 100 SEC 8-K officer or director change filings from the past week — I want to see which public companies recently changed leadership.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need a market-wide, deduplicated feed of executive and director change disclosures without building your own EDGAR polling infrastructure. It is purpose-built for Item 5.02 specifically (the most frequently filed 8-K item), so it is more focused and lower-latency than a generic 8-K listing endpoint. Prefer it for leadership-change monitoring pipelines, portfolio alert systems, or governance analytics where you need structured, labeled events with direct filing links rather than raw XML from EDGAR.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'since' timestamp format returns a 400 error
- 'limit' outside 1–200 range returns a validation error
- No filings in the requested window returns an empty events array with count 0
- Payment not fulfilled (402) if x402 microtransaction not completed
- Rate limiting if too many calls in rapid succession

## 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 paginated list of 8-K Item 5.02 events, each with event ID, accession number, CIK, ticker, company name, form type, event type label, occurrence timestamp, flags, relevance score, structured payload, and a direct link to the SEC filing. Also includes metadata: as_of timestamp, since window, total count, and index start time.
