## 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`):

```

Example prompt: Can you verify that SEC filing 0000320193-23-000106 for Apple (CIK 320193) actually exists in EDGAR and that it's really a 10-K filed on 2023-11-03?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to verify the authenticity of a specific SEC filing citation, especially when an AI model, analyst, or document has provided a CIK-accession number pair and you want to confirm it isn't hallucinated or misattributed. Prefer this over generic web search when you need a definitive, structured answer checked directly against EDGAR's authoritative submissions API.

## Known failure modes

- CIK does not exist in EDGAR — returns not found
- Accession number format is malformed — may return parse error or not found
- SEC EDGAR API is temporarily unavailable — upstream timeout or error
- Filing exists but form type provided doesn't match — returns mismatch with actual form type
- Filing exists but date doesn't match claimed date — returns mismatch with actual date

## How this service works

Verify an SEC filing: given a filer's CIK and a claimed accession number, does that filing actually exist, and does its form type/filing date match what's claimed? Checked against SEC EDGAR's submissions API. Catches a fabricated or misattributed filing citation, including a real-looking accession number paired with an invented form type or date.

## Output

Returns whether the filing exists in EDGAR for the given CIK, and if optional fields were provided, whether the form type and/or filing date match the official record. Flags mismatches or non-existent filings so fabricated or misattributed citations can be caught.
