## 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-events-7d070ed2 -d '<json body>'
```

Example prompt: Pull the latest SEC 8-K and Form 4 filings for NVDA from the past 24 hours, flag any insider_buy_cluster events, and only return results with a relevance score above 0.6.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need machine-scored and flag-enriched SEC filing events rather than raw EDGAR filings. It is ideal for agents that need to react to corporate events (earnings, insider trades, fundraising) with pre-computed relevance signals, without building your own SEC parser. Prefer this over raw EDGAR polling when you need structured event types, scoring, and distress/cluster flags out of the box.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid CIK format (must be numeric, up to 10 digits) returns validation error
- Unknown ticker symbol returns empty event list
- since parameter in invalid ISO format returns parse error
- min_score outside 0–1 range returns validation error
- limit exceeding 200 returns validation error
- Payment failure via x402 returns 402 with payment requirements

## 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 JSON object with a timestamp, event count, and an array of scored SEC filing events. Each event includes the company name, ticker, CIK, SEC form type, event type classification, occurrence timestamp, accession number, a link to the original SEC filing, computed relevance score, and any triggered flags (e.g. insider_buy_cluster, distress, results).
