## 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 govparse-distress-signals-feed-fc9d0990
```

Example prompt: Pull the GovParse distress signals feed for companies in California and Texas that have at least 2 distinct distress marker types, focusing only on entries with a marker event since 2025-01-01 — I want to see things like WARN notices, going-concern filings, and FMCSA authority revocations.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need structured, per-entity public-record distress signals aggregated across nine government data sources in a single feed — WARN Act, Form 5500, IRS, SEC, and FMCSA — rather than querying each source separately. Prefer it over general business data APIs when you specifically need regulatory and compliance distress signals with raw filing counts and dates, not credit scores or proprietary risk scores. Ideal for compliance teams, due-diligence workflows, and monitoring pipelines that must document the public-record basis of any distress flag. Not appropriate for FCRA-regulated consumer reporting use cases.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid marker key returns 400 with list of valid marker values
- Invalid date format for 'since' parameter returns 400
- Cursor from a different query context may return unexpected results or 400
- State code not recognized returns 400 or empty result set
- min_markers outside 1-9 range returns 400
- Rate limit exceeded returns 429
- Payment not processed or x402 auth failure returns 402

## How this service works

Which businesses carry public-record distress markers? One observational row per subject across ten tracked marker types — WARN notice, Form 5500 participant drop, final filing, or Schedule H asset decline, IRS auto-revocation, SEC NT / 8-K / going-concern filings, FMCSA authority revocation, active enforcement case — with per-marker counts, dates, and details. Ticker/CIK-mapped where identifier-verified, basis disclosed. Counts as filed, never a score. NOT a consumer report, no FCRA use.

## Output

A paginated list of business entities, one row per subject, each containing the marker types present, per-marker event counts, dates, and filing details. Where available, subjects include ticker or CIK identifiers with verification basis disclosed. Response includes a next_cursor for pagination and never synthesizes a composite score — all counts reflect raw public filings.
