How this service works
Scans a US public company's SEC filings, last 365 days (days=30-730), for red-flag events: auditor change (8-K 4.01), non-reliance/restatement (4.02), bankruptcy (1.03), delisting notice (3.01), debt acceleration (2.04), material impairment (2.06), executive departures (5.02), late filing (NT 10-K/10-Q), deregistration, going-concern language. Returns flags with dates and filing links plus a severity verdict clean/low/medium/high/critical. Errors are never charged (bad tickers rejected before pa
Output
A structured list of detected red-flag events for the specified ticker, each with the event type (e.g. auditor change, going-concern, restatement), the filing date, a direct link to the SEC filing, and an overall severity verdict of clean, low, medium, high, or critical based on the combination of flags found.
Example use cases
Pre-investment risk screening
“Before I buy shares in $BBBY, scan its SEC filings from the last year for any red flags like bankruptcy notices, delisting warnings, or going-concern language and give me a severity rating.”
Portfolio watchlist monitoring
“Run a red-flag check on $CVNA using SEC filings from the past 90 days — I want to know if there have been any auditor changes, restatements, or debt acceleration events and how critical they look.”
Short-seller due diligence
“I'm researching $NKLA as a potential short — can you pull any SEC red flags from the last 365 days, especially late filings, executive departures, and material impairments, and tell me if the overall severity is high or critical?”

Endpoint
GEThttps://fundamental-scores-x402.onrender.com/v1/redflags/:ticker?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Choose this endpoint when you need event-driven regulatory risk signals from actual SEC filing events (8-K item codes, NT filings, going-concern language) rather than quantitative financial ratios. It is ideal for pre-investment screening, monitoring watchlists for distress signals, or short-selling research where specific filing events matter more than balance-sheet scores. Pair with the Piotroski/Altman/Beneish sibling endpoint for a complete fundamental picture.
Side effects
- Invalid or unrecognized ticker symbol rejected before payment is charged
- Lookback window outside allowed range (30-730 days) returns a validation error
- Company has no filings in the requested window — returns clean verdict with empty flags list
- SEC EDGAR unavailable or rate-limited — upstream timeout error
- Private or foreign company ticker not covered by EDGAR returns an error
