## 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 sec-company-metadata-lookup-4ea62850
```

Example prompt: Can you look up the SEC company record for AAPL — I need the CIK number, official company name, and industry classification?

## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when you need to resolve a US stock ticker or CIK to its official SEC company record, including the CIK for EDGAR lookups, official registered name, SIC industry classification, or exchange listings. Prefer this over general financial data APIs when the goal is regulatory identity resolution or SEC filing cross-referencing rather than price or market data.

## Known failure modes

- Unknown or invalid ticker returns empty result or 404
- Delisted or OTC companies may not have SEC records
- CIK-based lookup may fail for non-US or foreign private issuers
- Industry field may be null for holding companies or recent IPOs
- Rate limiting or payment failure results in 402 response

## How this service works

Pay-per-call contract ABI fetcher for AI agents: get a verified contract's ABI and metadata (function/event signatures, name, compiler, proxy detection) by address, keylessly, from Sourcify. Chains: base, ethereum, arbitrum, optimism, polygon, bsc, avalanche.

## Output

Returns a JSON object with the company's SEC CIK (e.g. '0000320193'), official registered name (e.g. 'Apple Inc.'), ticker symbol, industry classification string (or null if unavailable), and an array of exchange listings.
