## 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 apex-company-check-lei-sec-94577d1b
```

Example prompt: Who is Apple Inc. legally? Look them up by name and get their LEI, jurisdiction, corporate parent structure, and their most recent SEC filings including the latest 10-K and 10-Q dates.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need authoritative, registry-sourced legal identity for a company — including LEI status, corporate parent chain, and SEC filing history — in a single call. It combines GLEIF and SEC EDGAR data that would otherwise require two separate API integrations. Prefer it over web scraping or generic search when compliance, KYB, or due diligence accuracy is required. Best when you have a company name, ticker, or LEI and need structured, citable registry data rather than informal descriptions.

## Known failure modes

- No matching company found for the given name, LEI, or ticker — returns empty or error response
- Ambiguous company name matching multiple entities — may return the top match or require LEI/ticker for disambiguation
- Non-US companies will have GLEIF data but no SEC EDGAR data
- LEI not registered with GLEIF — returns not-found error
- Malformed LEI format (not 20 alphanumeric characters) — validation error
- SEC EDGAR rate limiting or downtime may cause partial results

## How this service works

Company identity from GLEIF and SEC EDGAR: LEI, status, parents, latest filings, each with its licence. Who is this company? Pass ?name=Apple Inc., ?lei= or ?ticker=MSFT and get its identity from the public registries: GLEIF (legal name, LEI, jurisdiction, status, headquarters, direct and ultimate parent as reported; CC0) and SEC EDGAR for US filers (CIK, industry, fiscal year, latest 10-K / 10-Q / 8-K dates and the eight most recent filings with links).

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing: GLEIF data (legal name, LEI, LEI status, jurisdiction, registered headquarters, direct parent LEI/name, ultimate parent LEI/name, all under CC0 licence) and, for US-registered entities, SEC EDGAR data (CIK, SIC industry code and description, fiscal year end, dates of latest 10-K/10-Q/8-K filings, and up to eight most recent filings with form type, date, and direct EDGAR links).
