# AnswerPool SEC Company Intelligence

> AnswerPool SEC Company Intelligence is a paid API for AI agents from answerpool.io, paid per call via x402, $0.02/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-09-14).

## 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-sec-company-intelligence-f10fc562
```

Example prompt: Pull up the SEC company profile for Jefferies Financial Group — I want recent filings, insider trading over the last 90 days, and key financial facts like revenues.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, machine-readable SEC company data — including insider activity, recent filings, and financial facts — without scraping EDGAR yourself. It is especially useful for AI agents that need provenance-linked, pay-per-call financial intelligence on U.S. public companies, identified by ticker or CIK. Prefer it over generic web search when you need clean, schema-validated output with source URLs.

## Known failure modes

- Missing both ticker and CIK: returns validation error requiring at least one identifier
- Unknown ticker or CIK not found in EDGAR: returns empty or 404-style response
- Payment failure via x402 protocol: request not fulfilled, no data returned
- Truncated facts if company has very large filing history
- Rate limiting if too many calls in a short window
- Stale data if EDGAR upstream has not refreshed recently

## 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 JSON object with the company's CIK, name, ticker symbols, SIC code and description, state of incorporation, fiscal year end, recent SEC filings (with URLs, form types, and dates), 30-day events, 90-day insider trading summary (buys, sells, net USD), and time-series financial facts keyed by metric name — all sourced and timestamped, with provenance URLs to raw EDGAR data.
