## 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 celerapi-sec-edgar-company-search-0d0408b8
```

Example prompt: Search SEC EDGAR for 'Apple Inc' and give me its CIK number and registered entity details so I can pull its recent filings.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a company name to its SEC CIK identifier or verify SEC registration before fetching filings. Prefer it over manual EDGAR browsing or general web search when structured, machine-readable results are needed. It is especially useful as a prerequisite step before retrieving specific SEC documents (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K) via downstream EDGAR APIs.

## Known failure modes

- No matching companies found for the search term — returns empty data with success:true
- Ambiguous or very common name returns large result sets requiring further filtering
- SEC EDGAR source temporarily unavailable — request may fail or return incomplete results
- Misspelled company name yields no or incorrect matches
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in HTTP 402 or rejection

## How this service works

Resolve companies, legal entities and financial reference data using authoritative sources. Machine-native, pay per request, no subscription.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a `data` field containing matching SEC EDGAR company records (including CIK numbers and entity names), a `success` boolean, a `complete` flag indicating result completeness, any `warnings`, and provenance metadata sourcing back to the U.S. SEC EDGAR public database.
