## How to call it through Zero

```sh
zero fetch --capability api-strale-io-3e189945
```

Example prompt: Can you look up Apple Inc. in the SEC EDGAR database and tell me their CIK number, SIC code, and state of incorporation?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a US company's SEC identity — CIK, SIC code, state, and filings summary — from a ticker symbol, CIK number, or a fuzzy company name. Prefer this over manual EDGAR searches when enriching financial data pipelines, verifying company registrations, or cross-referencing public company metadata.

## Known failure modes

- Company not found in EDGAR — returns empty or null result
- Ambiguous fuzzy name match returns wrong company
- Invalid or malformed CIK/ticker returns error
- Rate limiting or payment failure returns 402
- Network timeout or EDGAR upstream unavailability

Resolution order: exact CIK match, then exact ticker match, then exact company-name match (both via the SEC ticker/title map — no LLM call), then a best-effort LLM name extraction + SEC full-text filing search as a last resort (gated by match_confidence / allow_low_confidence below)."

  "allow_low_confidence": {
   "type": "boolean",
   "description": "If true, return the best-effort match even when the name could not be confidently resolved (match_confidence \"low\"). Default false — a low-confidence name lookup errors instead of returning a possibly-wrong company identity, so it can't silently feed downstream screening. Only relevant to the LLM+full-text-search fallback path; exact CIK/ticker/title-map resolutions are always match_confidence \"exact\" and are never gated by this flag."
