## 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 edgar-company-search-api-629b561e
```

Example prompt: Can you look up Apple's SEC EDGAR record and get me their CIK number? The ticker is AAPL.

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a public company's SEC CIK number from a ticker symbol or company name, especially for downstream EDGAR filing retrieval workflows. Prefer this over scraping SEC.gov directly, as results are cached for speed. Best suited for U.S. publicly traded companies registered with the SEC.

## Known failure modes

- No matching company found — hits array is empty and match is false
- Invalid or malformed query parameter — may return empty results
- SEC EDGAR data source temporarily unavailable — cached data may be stale
- Rate limit exceeded — 402 payment or quota error
- Unknown ticker or private company not listed on EDGAR — no CIK available

## How this service works

Look up SEC EDGAR companies by ticker or name; returns CIK, ticker, and company name.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with a hits array containing matched companies (each with CIK, name, and ticker), a total count, a boolean match flag, the original query string, the data source (sec.gov company_tickers cached), and a fetchedAt timestamp.
