## 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 filinglane-sec-filing-section-api-adfe0623
```

Example prompt: Pull the MD&A section from Apple's latest SEC 10-K filing and give it to me as markdown so I can analyze management's discussion of revenue trends.

## When to prefer this

Choose FilingLane when you need a specific named section of an SEC filing (MD&A, 8-K items, risk factors) in clean, structured markdown with a quality gate — rather than raw full-filing dumps or PDF scraping. Ideal for agents doing targeted financial analysis, earnings research, or regulatory monitoring where only one section is needed and cost efficiency matters. The quality-grading system means you only pay for usable content.

## Known failure modes

- Grade C quality result returns HTTP 422 with no charge — filing text too low quality to serve
- Invalid or unknown ticker symbol returns an error
- Unsupported section enum value returns a validation error
- Filing not yet available on EDGAR for the ticker returns a not-found error
- Network or EDGAR upstream unavailability may cause retrieval failure

## How this service works

**RESHAPE wedge:** SEC **MD&A (`mda`)** + common **8-K items** → quality-gated markdown with `sourceUrl`, cache HIT/MISS ($0.05/$0.01), and x402 receipts. `risk_factors`/`business` available as secondary (Massive already sells those ~$0.01). Not a full-filing dump. Base USDC (`eip155:8453`) Exact; grade C → 422 no charge. Not financial advice. FilingLane is not affiliated with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Data sourced from publicly available EDGAR filings.

## Output

Returns a JSON object containing the extracted filing section as formatted markdown, the original SEC EDGAR source URL, a quality grade (A/B/C — with grade C returning a 422 error and no charge), a cache hit/miss indicator, the ticker symbol, and the section name. Pricing is $0.05 USDC on cache miss, $0.01 on cache hit, settled via x402 on Base (eip155:8453).
